Three women’s title matches took place on Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 on April 18, 2026. Although all three matches were quite short in duration, they drew a lot of criticism from fans online, and deservedly so. Still, the matches delivered several entertaining twists and turns along with some shocking outcomes.
A major highlight was the shocking return of Paige. After nearly 10 long years, she was back competing in a WWE ring once again.
Another big highlight from the show was the return of Bianca Belair. However, it was short-lived as she came out to announce her pregnancy, which received loud cheers from the fans in attendance.
