11 WrestleMania 42 Card Predictions After WWE Royal Rumble 2026

4. Jade Cargill vs. Bianca Belair

Freshly heel Jade Cargill has a braid whip coming her way.

Surely, WWE only turned her heel in the first place so this Women's Title reign could happen and so Bianca Belair could race back in front of the cameras to take the fight to her old tag-team partner. Unfinished business would just about sum it up. These alpha females need to burn through a spirited 1v1 at WrestleMania 42, and everyone knows it.

Bianca has been benched for a lot longer than many thought she would be when reports surfaced about post-'Mania 41 injures. A Triple Threat there vs. Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY turned out to be her last match of 2025, so it's been a lengthy wait for the 'EST' as she preps her return.

Belair, SKY and Ripley earned rave reviews for their work in Vegas last time out. Will Bianca vs. Jade be anywhere near as good as that in-ring? Nah, probably not, but it's the storytelling that matters here. Last year, opposite Naomi, Belair proved that she has drama chops to go with her supreme athleticism - more of the same with Cargill would go down a real treat on episodes of SmackDown.

Predicted Winner: Bianca Belair. WWE fans have been choking to see her back on top of the singles division for years, and it should happen this April. Anyone concerned about what'd happen to Jade afterwards shouldn't be. She'll be absolutely golden, and you just know Hunter will make sure of it.

She's one of his favourites.
