WWE appears ready to make history with its women’s division at WrestleMania 42.
According to a new report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE’s creative team is currently planning as many as six women’s matches across the two-night WrestleMania event set for Las Vegas this April. If that number holds, it would mark the highest number of women’s matches ever featured at a single WrestleMania.
The report claims that five of those matches are already locked in, with the possibility of a sixth bout being added as the card continues to take shape in the coming weeks.
Women’s Division Continues to Expand Its WrestleMania Presence
Over the last several years, WWE has significantly increased the spotlight on its women’s division at its biggest annual event. Many of those matches have gone on to become highlights of the show.
At WrestleMania 41, four women’s matches took place across both nights. One of the most talked-about contests came on Night 2, when Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley delivered a highly praised triple threat match that opened the show.
Looking back further, WrestleMania 40 in 2024 featured three women’s matches, while the year before also saw four bouts involving the women’s division.
If WWE follows through with the current creative plans, WrestleMania 42 will represent another major step forward for the division.
Two Major Title Matches Already Confirmed
Two women’s championship matches are already official for the event.
One of the featured bouts will see Rhea Ripley defend the WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill, a high-profile clash that has quickly become one of the most anticipated matches on the card.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer will defend the WWE Women’s World Championship against Liv Morgan, adding another marquee title contest to the lineup.
Potential Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee Match Teased
Another match that could soon be made official involves Becky Lynch and AJ Lee. The longtime rivals are reportedly being lined up for a showdown over AJ Lee’s WWE Intercontinental Championship.
If confirmed, the match would add even more star power to an already stacked women’s lineup for WrestleMania 42.
With multiple championship matches already announced and more potentially on the way, it’s clear WWE is continuing to emphasize the importance of the women’s division on the grandest stage of them all. As the road to WrestleMania continues, fans may soon see a record-breaking showcase for the women of WWE in Las Vegas.
