WWE superstars are navigating the perilous road to WrestleMania 42. In the aftermath of the WWE Royal Rumble, the cards for the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania are starting to take shape.

Four world title matches are confirmed for WrestleMania: the world heavyweight, undisputed WWE, women's world, and WWE women's titles. Until Elimination Chamber concludes, we only know half of those equations. Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan emerged victorious at the Royal Rumble, securing their spots at WrestleMania. The remaining title challengers will be determined in the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches. Reigns is widely expected to challenge CM Punk for the world heavyweight champion, but Finn Balor could upset the applecart later this month. 

Once the dust settles on WrestleMania, fans can look ahead to other major confirmed shows Backlash, SummerSlam, and Money in the Bank.
