Summary

Valentino Khan is heading back to WWE for WrestleMania 42 weekend. He announced on April 7 that he will DJ both nights of WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and April 19.

Khan also said he will appear throughout the weekend at WWE World, giving WWE another familiar crossover name as the company builds out the full atmosphere around its biggest show of the year.

WrestleMania 42 weekend plans

This marks Khan's latest work with WWE after previous appearances tied to WrestleMania 38 and SummerSlam in 2021.

The announcement was presented with a skit involving Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio, playing off their long-running family issues. WWE has regularly leaned into the larger spectacle of WrestleMania weekend, and that broader presentation has been part of the event's identity for decades, as seen in Brian Gewirtz's look back at the road to WrestleMania X-7.

What Valentino Khan's return means for WrestleMania 42

Bringing Valentino Khan back for both nights reinforces that WWE is treating WrestleMania 42 as a full weekend production, not just two cards inside the stadium. His added role at WWE World also gives the company another entertainment touchpoint across the fan experience in Las Vegas.

It does not change the card itself, but it does underline how much WWE continues to package WrestleMania as a citywide event built around presentation, celebrity crossover, and live atmosphere.
