The Intercontinental Championship Match has been made official for WrestleMania 42. Penta has been the Intercontinental Champion for the last 3 months and he beat Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship. He has repeatedly said that he will defend the title in any match at WrestleMania 42 and against any number of opponents. It looks like his wish has been granted. He will defend the title in a ladder match which will be very exciting.
Let’s talk about the Fatal Five Ladder Match at WrestleMania 42
Penta will Battle to get to the Top of the Ladder in WWE
The Intercontinental Championship will be defended in a Fatal Five Ladder Match. He beat Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship and since then he has beaten the likes of Kofi Kingston and Dragon Lee. The ladder match has been a staple at WrestleMania for a long time and the Intercontinental Championship being defended in a Ladder Match is reminiscent of older times. The only gripe could be that the 4 men who will face Penta have not had any qualifying Matches and just added to the match. WWE holds qualifying Matches for every big match and this is WrestleMania. This match, if given time, could steal the show at WrestleMania 42. The 4 opponents for Penta in this match include Dragon Lee, Je’Von Evans, Rusev and JD Mcdonagh.
Dragon Lee is the other Lucha wrestler in this match. He is extremely talented and it is good to see that he has got a spot at WrestleMania 42. Je’Von Evans has been one of the fastest rising stars in WWE and it was evident that he was going to be on the WrestleMania card. And the WWE fans had expected that he would be involved in the Intercontinental Championship Match. He will be the highlight reel of this match and will have the craziest spots in this ladder match. Rusev will return to WrestleMania where once 11 years ago he entered as the United States Champion in a match against John Cena at 31. Since he returned last year Rusev has not been featured prominently but this will be his opportunity to put on a show. And the last man in this match was JD Mcdonagh who is a member of The Judgement Day. He has worked very hard for this chance and he will be going all out to show everyone that he deserves to perform at WrestleMania.
This match could steal the entire weekend if Triple H and WWE give it 20 minutes. 20 minutes will be enough for all 5 men to leave an impression and raise the prestige of the Intercontinental Championship. WrestleMania 42 has some really good Matches that have been announced and a lot of them were announced on Raw from Madison Square Garden. Multi person tag team Matches have also been made official involving some of the biggest female stars in WWE. Cody Rhodes said that the match quality of WrestleMania 42 might be one of the best of all time. WrestleMania 42 will take place on 18th and 19th April 2026. Je’Von Evans has the most to gain from this match as he is only 21 years old.
