#5. Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio standing tall over Stephanie Vaquer

Liv Morgan won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble Match and chose to face Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 42. The Miracle Kid was taking her time in deciding her opponent, but a fiery promo by The Dark Angel made her decision easier.

Before colliding at The Show of Shows, the Triple H-led creative team must run a shocking angle between Morgan and Vaquer. Dominik Mysterio should distract La Primera, allowing The Miracle Kid to launch a brutal attack. The end visual of the segment should be Morgan and Mysterio standing tall over a bloodied Vaquer, making the feud more intense.

#4. Randy Orton heel turn

Cody Rhodes dethroned Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship on last week’s SmackDown and will now face the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber Match winner, Randy Orton, at WrestleMania 42.

After months of subtle teases, Orton and Rhodes will finally engage in a high-profile rivalry. To make the feud live up to the hype, The Viper should turn heel. The veteran has been eyeing his 15th World Title and should be willing to go to any lengths to achieve his goal.

He should stop being friendly toward his former mentee and fully embrace his dark side before The Show of Shows.

#3. Finn Balor should leave The Judgment Day before WrestleMania 42

Finn Balor has been showing signs of a potential babyface turn. This has deepened the cracks between him and Dominik Mysterio. Fans have been waiting to see The Prince turn face, and it should happen before WrestleMania 42.

The Irish star should walk out of The Judgment Day and kickstart his singles run on a high note by potentially entering into a rivalry with “Dirty” Dom.

#2. The Usos should take out CM Punk

CM Punk made things personal with Roman Reigns by stating that he would bury the OTC next to his father on last week’s RAW. By doing so, The Second City Saint may have made an enemy out of the entire Bloodline.

The Usos should get involved in the feud and attack the World Heavyweight Champion for his controversial comments, adding a new layer to the program.

#1. Drew McIntyre should attack Nick Aldis

Drew McIntyre has had issues with Nick Aldis for a while now. After the SmackDown General Manager booked the Scotsman to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, which eventually led to McIntyre losing the title, things should turn heated.

A frustrated McIntyre should launch a brutal attack on Aldis, crossing the line by putting his hands on an authority figure.
