WrestleMania 42 Night 1 had EVERYTHING on paper… and somehow still felt like a TOTAL letdown.

Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton was supposed to deliver one of the biggest WrestleMania main events in years. They teased something HUGE… a possible Cody heel turn… a real shift… and then just completely backed off and gave us a confusing, flat ending that didn’t hit the way it should have.

Outside of that, the show had moments, but nothing that truly felt like WrestleMania level. Seth Rollins vs Gunther had its moments, but even that got overshadowed by outside interference. Drew McIntyre vs Jacob Fatu was chaotic and brutal, but felt more like a side attraction than something that elevated the show.

The women’s division had some strong spots with Liv Morgan vs Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch vs AJ Lee, but again… nothing that felt like it took over the night.

Even the six-man tag with LA Knight, The Usos, and IShowSpeed felt more like a spectacle than something meaningful.

This entire show felt like it was building to ONE big moment… and when it didn’t happen, the whole thing collapsed.

This is my full WrestleMania 42 Night 1 review… and why WWE completely dropped the ball when it mattered most.

WWE really went into WrestleMania with THAT as a go-home show?!

This SmackDown was supposed to get people hyped… and instead we got CM Punk and Cody Rhodes out there just praising each other like it was a handshake agreement instead of a fight. No tension. No edge. Just safe, corporate, boring.

Meanwhile, the most interesting thing on the entire show wasn’t even the main event scene… it was Trick Williams clowning Sami Zayn with a gingerbread man. That segment had personality, chaos, and something that actually felt unpredictable.

And here’s where it gets controversial…

I’m NOT saying pair Pat McAfee with Trick Williams… but if you listen to what Pat has been saying lately about WWE needing more edge, more Attitude Era energy, more risk… Trick Williams fits that vision WAY more than what we’re getting at the top of the card right now.

So if WWE is going to lean into that direction… why are we not even exploring that combination?

This isn’t about saying it works.
This is about asking why WWE isn’t even trying.

This was supposed to be the FINAL show before WrestleMania… and it felt like filler.

Instead of chaos, tension, or anything that makes you feel like something huge is about to happen, we got a soft ending with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk hugging it out like everything’s fine. No heat. No danger. No urgency. Just vibes… and not the good kind.

Meanwhile, the best part of the entire night? Trick Williams.
The man literally brought out a gingerbread man and somehow made it work. Him and Sami Zayn are quietly building one of the most entertaining feuds going right now, and it actually feels alive compared to everything else.

Randy Orton also did his part. He explained himself clearly, added depth, and gave you something real to latch onto… which just makes it even more frustrating that the rest of the show felt so meaningless.

This is the go-home show before WrestleMania.
You’re supposed to feel hype. You’re supposed to feel tension.
So why does it feel like nothing matters?
