Usually, there's a Kickoff Show that airs one hour prior to the main card. There, you'll typically see at least one match take place. They've moved matches like the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale outside of the event. As with last year, the event will take place on the Smackdown prior to Night 1 of Wrestlemania. Of note, Bobby Lashley--who was originally slated to face Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania--will complete in the battle royale.

How to watch:

If you want to watch the main card for WWE's Wrestlemania, you can purchase the event through your cable or satellite provider or watch it on Peacock . While Peacock has a free tier, you will not be able to watch the WWE event through that. You'll need a Premium ($5 a month, with ads) or Premium Plus Peacock ($10 a month, no ads) account. Regardless of which tier you choose, there will be a few WWE-related ads throughout the show.

There are multiple ways to watch Peacock. Aside from watching it on mobile devices and on the PC, you can stream the service on Amazon Fire devices, Android TV, Apple TV, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xfinity, and more.

Goodfellas movie send-up. The Head of the Table questions Paul Heyman in an extremely tense moment for The Bloodline on The Road to WrestleMania.

Wrestlemania stage so far. Looks interesting.

The final entrant into WWE's 2023 Hall of Fame as this year's Warrior Award recipient is the late referee Tim White. He spent decades refereeing for WWE and was liked by all wrestlers and WWE staff. White passed away in June 2022 at 68 years. He joins Rey Mysterio, Stacy Keibler, The Great Muta and the late Andy Kaufman in the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame Class. WWE Hall of Fame airs this Friday after Smackdown.

WWE bringing in the old style cell

[LionDen]

WWE Attitude Era's Gangrel arrived in Los Angeles for Edge vs Finn Balor Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania 39

At WrestleMania 39 – Night 2 (aka WrestleMania Sunday), Edge will face Finn Balor in a Hell in a Cell match.

This is expected to be the culmination of Edge’s feud with The Judgment Day. For those won’t remember, Edge formed the stable with Damian Priest at WrestleMania 38, but was later kicked out of it by Balor. On Monday’s WrestleMania RAW, WWE confirmed that “The Demon” version of Balor will face Edge this weekend. The original Hell in a Cell structure will be used at WrestleMania Hollywood, and not the red structure that was introduced in 2018, which WWE is retiring.

Below is a photo of WWE bringing in the original structure to SoFi Stadium:

PWInsider recently reported that Attitude Era Veteran Gangrel is scheduled to return to WWE during this match:

“Gangrel will be a part of Edge’s entrance and have a spot with Damian Priest during the Hell in a Cell match with Finn Balor at WrestleMania.”

In an update, Gangrel has now arrived in Los Angeles. Below is what he posted on Facebook:

While Gangrel is there for some indy events, he will work WrestleMania as well. This will be Gangrel’s 1st appearance in WWE in 16 years. He last appeared on the 15th anniversary episode of RAW in 2007, where he competed in the Battle Royal.

Not at all excited at all, apart from hopefully Cody winning, but that I’m not even confident in
