The wrestling world will celebrate World Wrestling Entertainment's 41st annual WrestleMania event with a week-long extravaganza that will feature RAW, SmackDown, NXT, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and the two-night Show of Shows, among other events.

WrestleMania After Dark will merge the worlds of wrestling and music. WWE and Medium Rare announced the inaugural series, indicating this will be an annual tradition. The four-night experience is set for LIV Nightclub at WWE's Official Host Hotel, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, featuring Superstars and longtime WWE collaborators. The series is touted as an unforgettable experience with musical performances, superstar appearances, and tons of interactive fun, featuring the following tagline: "Once the final bell rings each night, the party begins!"

Charlotte Flair, Rey Mysterio, and Bianca Belair will join DJ/producer Valentino Khan and DJ Irie to kick the series off on Thursday, April 17, for the Welcome Dinner & Launch Party, from 8pm - 4am local time. Komodo will curate the offerings, featuring a Southeast Asian theme with American Wagyu Tenderloin, Peking Duck, Wagyu Beef Sliders, and more, plus an open bar.

Friday's show will feature Bron Breakker and Liv Morgan, with DJ/producer Metro Boomin and DJ Irie. Night Two of WrestleMania After Dark will run from 10:30pm until 4am. The Usos will join rapper-singer MGK and DJ Irie on the night of WrestleMania Saturday.
