I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Cody Rhodes is 1/2 favourite to main event WrestleMania 42.
  • Roman Reigns (5/4) and Seth Rollins/CM Punk (6/4) are main challengers.
  • Rhea Ripley leads women’s betting at 2/1, with Belair, Cargill, and Lynch all 5/2.

WrestleMania 42 Main Event Odds - Who Will Headline in 2026?

Speculation is already rife about who will headline WrestleMania 42 in 2026, with betting sites releasing odds on both the men’s and women’s main eventers.

Following the blockbuster success of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, WWE are looking to deliver another huge spectacle for the sport’s biggest weekend.

Vegas will once again host the biggest weekend in the Wrestling calendar next year 

The betting odds point towards a familiar face in Cody Rhodes, while a cluster of female stars are jostling for the headline spot on the women’s side.

Cody Rhodes stands as the clear 1/2 favourite after he headlined this year's second night of Wrestlemania, where he lost the WWE World Championship belt to John Cena. 

Meanwhile, Roman Reigns could yet reclaim his place at the very top, priced at 5/4.

Seth Rollins and CM Punk both sit at 6/4, making them strong contenders if WWE pivots the storyline direction.

Bianca Belair5/228.6%
Jade Cargill5/228.6%
Becky Lynch5/228.6%
Charlotte Flair3/125.0%

Rhea Ripley leads the betting market to be in the main event on the women's side, although with these big cards it may well be that we don't get a women's match as a main event.

Wrestlemania 41 had a Men's triple threat match main event Night One and another Men's match headline Night Two and it could happen again next year.

What the expert says...
The market strongly suggests that WWE is set to double down on Cody Rhodes as the man to lead WrestleMania 42. At 1/2, he’s a heavy favourite, and it would take a major storyline shift to dethrone him from the main event picture. On the women’s side, the odds highlight just how deep the roster is, with Rhea Ripley slightly edging it.
