WrestleMania Nightly Lineups, Including ESPN/ESPN2 Matches and Headliners, Announced
By Kat Bourne on 7 April 2026
WWE, using the world of corporate synergy, announced the nightly lineups for WrestleMania on ESPN’s “Get Up.”
Both events will air in their entirety on ESPN Unlimited in the United States and Netflix internationally, but each night’s first hour will also broadcast on ESPN’s networks with night one on ESPN2 and night two on ESPN. Please note that we do not know the complete match order yet besides the two matches that will open each night and the world titles headlining.
The first hour of Night One on April 18th will feature two matches simulcast on ESPN2 including Drew McIntyre vs Jacob Fatu and the six-man tag announced last night on Raw featuring The Usos and L.A. Knight against IShowSpeed and World Tag Team Champions The Vision.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton (now with more Pat McAfee) is set to headline. Additional first night matches include Stephanie Vaquer vs Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World Title, Seth Rollins vs Gunther, AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title, and a Fatal-4 Way for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles.
The first hour of the second night will simulcast on ESPN and will include Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar and the Intercontinental Title ladder match.
Night Two will be headlined by WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk vs Roman Reigns. Other matches will include “Demon” Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio, WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley, and US Champion Sami Zayn vs Trick Williams.
Stay tuned to Raw and SmackDown – and read my Raw Review and Niz’s SmackDown Review – as a few other rumored matches might still be to come. John Cena will host the event.
