There's just over two weeks left to go before WrestleMania 42 goes live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and the card for the two-night extravaganza is nearly complete.

As of this writing, there are 12 matches that have been booked, and while there were some recent reports that there could be upwards of 16 matches across both nights, multiple outlets are now hearing that 14 is the magic number.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer reported earlier this week that a six-man tag team match is in the works that would see popular streamer IShowSpeed team up with Logan Paul and Austin Theory to take on LA Knight and The Usos. Those plans were put into motion this past Monday night on WWE Raw when Speed accidentally helped The Vision win the World Tag Team Championship.

LA Knight ended up on the wrong end of a brass knuckle shot from Speed during that match, and as you can see in the video above, The Megastar got his receipt back during one of Speed's live streams on Thursday.

The six-man tag team match would put the WrestleMania card at 13, and Dave Meltzer is now reporting that IYO SKY versus Asuka has been "penciled in" as the final matchup.

The Genius of the Sky and The Empress have been butting heads on Monday Night Raw for the better part of the past year, but their issues have really flared up recently with Asuka's escalated abuse of Kairi Sane.

SKY is coming off back-to-back world title matches at the 'Showcase of the Immortals', including The Takedown on SI's 2025 Match of the Year at WrestleMania 41 where she defeated Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair to retain the Women's World Championship.

If SKY and Asuka do not end up getting the nod, another option would be a match for the Women's United States Championship. Giulia and Tiffany Stratton recently started feuding for the title, but they are facing an uphill battle in trying to make it on the WrestleMania card.

In the entire history of the Women's United States Championship, it's never once been defended on a Premium Live Event.
