Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre may have already pushed things to the edge — but the latest update suggests it’s about to get even more dangerous at WrestleMania 42.

After their brutal, out-of-control brawl on SmackDown that saw both men crash off a guardrail outside the arena, a new report on March 26, 2026 is pointing toward a massive WrestleMania showdown. According to Self Made Pro, WWE is planning to bring this rivalry to WrestleMania 42 — and not just in a standard match as the two will settle things inside a Hell in a Cell at the Show of Shows.

"Sources close to the situation indicate that Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu is expected to take place at WrestleMania 42, with the bout likely set to be contested inside Hell in a Cell."

The rivalry has already spilled beyond the ring, with their March 20 SmackDown fight turning into a chaotic parking lot war. McIntyre smashing Fatu’s windshield, dragging him out of the car, and the fight continuing outside the arena — all of it built to that final moment where both men went crashing off a guardrail.

Now, WWE appears ready to take that same level of chaos and contain it inside one of the most unforgiving structures in the company. A Hell in a Cell match would signal that this isn’t just another feud — it’s something WWE sees as needing maximum control, maximum violence, and a definitive ending.

While nothing is confirmed yet, the expectation internally is clear: this rivalry is heading straight for one of WrestleMania’s most brutal environments. And based on what we’ve already seen, that might be the only way to settle it.
