The wrestling world comes to Philly — here's everything you need to know about WrestleMania week

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Finally, WrestleMania has come back to Philadelphia.

The WWE’s signature event takes over Lincoln Financial Field on April 6 and 7. It’s the first WrestleMania in Philly since 1999, at the First Union Center (now Wells Fargo Center). But it isn’t just a two-night show at the Linc. WrestleMania Week includes the WWE’s fan festival at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, as well as live broadcasts of its weekly TV shows and its Hall of Fame ceremony at the Wells Fargo Center.

And more than that, “Mania Week” — as fans affectionately call it — draws dozens of independent wrestlers looking to showcase themselves before the largest gathering of wrestling fans each year. No matter where you are, there will be wrestling events you can check out, featuring a wide variety of styles.

With so much wrestling happening, turn to us for your guide to Mania Week, and your best bets for amazing (sports) entertainment.

8 p.m. H2O Wrestling: Monday Night Death (H2O Wrestling Center, Williamstown, N.J.)

Mania Week kicks off in New Jersey with a night of hardcore wrestling courtesy of New Jersey’s H2O Wrestling. Expect lots of violence, a world away from the family-friendly WWE.

9 a.m. Film Your Own Superstar Promo (Independence Visitor Center, 599 Market Street)

The Independence Visitor Center in Old City offers fans the chance to lay the verbal smackdown, just like the pros, at a special WrestleMania pop-up. Visitors can stop by any day from April 2 through 9 to film their own superstar promos at the information desk.

The visitor center will also have an exclusive t-shirt available, commemorating the classic showdown between Sylvester Stallone and Hulk Hogan in “Rocky III.” Hogan's performance as Thunderlips helped inspire the World Wrestling Federation to push him as its top star and launch Hulkamania as a global phenomenon.

6 p.m. Becky Lynch celebrates “Becky Lynch: The Man” (Barnes & Noble, 1708 Chestnut Street)

If there’s anyone who embodies the term “WWE Superstar,” it’s Becky Lynch. The flame-haired former champion became one of WWE’s top stars after discovering her darker side in 2018, and she hasn’t looked back.

Before “The Man” challenges WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania, she’s coming to Barnes & Noble in Center City to sign copies of her memoir, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl.”

5 p.m. Dan Champion’s Birthday Bash (Attic Brewing Company, 137 Berkley Street)

Earlier this year, “Big” Dan Champion announced 2024 would be his final year in wrestling.  After “Euphoria,” Labor of Love and Sean Henderson Presents will join forces with Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations to throw a 40th birthday party for the northeastern indie mainstay.

A number of WWE and AEW wrestlers are expected to be there to wish Dan well. In addition, the “great and devious” Ultramantis Black will take on Jimmy Lloyd in a bar fight. (Imagine a match, but no ropes, no ring and no holds barred.)

5 p.m. “The Art of a Creativ Misfit” Fashion Show (Moore College of Art and Design, 1916 Race Street)

Philly's Yolanda Jernigan has spent more than two decades working in fashion, and a lot of that time designing gear for pro wrestlers including Claudio Castagnoli, Drew Gulak and Cody Rhodes.

7 p.m. Mark Hitchcock Memorial Wrestlecon SuperShow (2300 Arena, 2300 South Swanson Street)

Wrestling stars of past and present assemble in the WrestleMania host city each year for Wrestlecon, and this year is no exception. In addition to the convention at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown hotel, organizers have booked a wrestling supercard at the 2300 Arena. Nic Nemeth will be in action, along with Extreme Championship Wrestling legends Rob Van Dam and Masato Tanaka.

The most eyebrow-raising match of the night, however, will almost certainly be the Philadelphia Street Fight between the brutal Sami Callihan and Emmy-winning actor Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird,” “Richard Jewell”). Hauser, believe it or not, is coming off a hardcore match win over indie star Matt Cardona, so don’t count him out.

If that isn’t enough, Jeff Hardy’s playing a concert set immediately after the show.

This show is sold out, but tickets are still available for the concert.

7 p.m. Meanie Mania (McCusker’s Tavern, 2601 South 17th Street)

The Blue Meanie is a Philly wrestling icon, so who wouldn’t want to party with him during WrestleMania week? That’s exactly what to expect at Meanie Mania at McCusker’s Tavern in South Philly, a WrestleMania kickoff party with no cover.

7 p.m. Cheap Heat Podcast Live (FringeArts, North Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

7 p.m. Major Wrestling Figure Podcast Live (Dave and Buster’s, 325 North Christopher Columbus Boulevard Philadelphia)

The self-proclaimed “Indy God” and “Deathmatch King” Matt Cardona also collects wrestling action figures, a passion he shares on his Major Wrestling Figures podcast with his co-hosts, TNA’s Brian Myers and AEW’s “Smart” Mark Sterling. The trio will bring their show to Dave and Buster’s for a live recording.

This show is sold out.

7 p.m. GSW Ring the Bell (Ukrainian American Citizens' Association, 847 North Franklin Street Philadelphia)

8 p.m. Undertaker: 1deadMAN SHOW (The Fillmore Philadelphia, 29 East Allen Street)

As the Undertaker, Mark Calaway was never one to break character, no matter the situation.

In retirement, however, he’s taken to serving all the tea on his storied career, through his “Six Feet Under” podcast and his traveling “1deadMAN Show,” which comes to the Fillmore right before WrestleMania weekend.

8 p.m. The Collective: DDT Goes Philadelphia (Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

Before he raised eyebrows in All Elite Wrestling, Konosuke Takeshita was a star in Japan’s DDT-Pro Wrestling. He’s returning to DDT for their Collective show, and bringing fellow AEW stars Nick Wayne and “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith with him.

8 p.m. Nigel McGuinness’ Magical Night (Black Squirrel Club, 1049 Sarah Street)

8 p.m. Eat the Turnbuckle: The Final Battle Royal Bloodbath (Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill Street)

There are death metal bands, and then there’s Eat the Turnbuckle. The Philly band’s shows usually involve them beating the ever-loving snot out of each other in a gory and disturbing, yet thrilling, marriage of hardcore music and deathmatch wrestling. Expect them to pull out all the stops — and all the weapons — in this farewell show.

8 p.m. ACTION Wrestling: DEAN~!!! (H2O Wrestling Center, Williamstown, N.J.)

8 p.m. Smash Master/BYO Wrestling: PhillyMania Pro Wrestling Block Party (Ukrainian American Citizens' Association, 847 North Franklin Street Philadelphia)

11 a.m. The Collective: Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

The women of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling get their own Collective showcase, featuring the unpredictable, uncontrollable — and adorable — Maki Itoh. The former idol pop star turned pro wrestler combines a kawaii aesthetic and hardcore attitude, and must be seen to be believed.

This show is sold out, but streaming live on Triller.tv.

1 p.m. Battleground Championship Wrestling: Born to Die (2300 Arena, 2300 South Swanson Street)

The first of two BCW shows at the 2300 Arena on Friday is packed with stars, from the deranged PCO and Major League Wrestling’s Jacob Fatu to Brian Myers and Swoggle (formerly WWE’s Hornswoggle). In the main event, Brian Kendrick defends the BCW Championship against CHIKARA and WWE alum Lince Dorado.

BCW’s second show, A Tribute to the Extreme 2, features a reunion of many of ECW’s greatest stars, including Masato Tanaka, 2 Cold Scorpio, Tajiri and the legendary Team 3D (former ECW, WWE and TNA Tag Team Champions).

A Tribute to the Extreme 2 is sold out, but streaming live on Title Match Network.

3 p.m. The Collective: PROGRESS Chapter 166 - Freedom Walks Again (Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

3 p.m. Wrestling Revolver x House of Glory

TNA X-Division Champion (and former WWE star) Mustafa Ali faces the Amazing Red, a former X-Division champ — and most importantly, one of the most influential high-flying wrestlers of the 21st century.

It’s a bout worthy of the term “dream match,” and the main event of a joint show between Sami Callihan’s Wrestling Revolver and the Master P-owned House of Glory.

7 p.m. Ring of Honor: Supercard of Honor (The Liacouras Center, 1776 North Broad Street)

Despite its Philly origins, Ring of Honor has never run its Supercard of Honor event in the city. That changes this year, when Supercard makes its Philly debut at Temple University’s Liacouras Center.

Three big title matches are scheduled: ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston defends against Mark Briscoe and Women’s Champion Athena tries to fend off former AEW champ Hikaru Shida, while Queen Aminata and Billie Starkz battle it out to become the first ROH Women’s Television Champion.

7 p.m. The Collective: Joey Janela’s Spring Break 8 (Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

Joey Janela’s Spring Break is known as an event where anything can happen, and where anyone — from past TV stars to indie standouts to invisible men — can show up.

This year is no exception, with AEW’s Danhausen and Ram Kaicho, from Japan’s Ice Ribbon promotion, teaming up against Maki Death Kill, the unexpected pairing of Maki Itoh and New Jersey’s own Nick Gage, a deathmatch icon.

This show is sold out, but streaming live on Triller.tv.

8 p.m. WWE SmackDown / WWE 2024 Hall of Fame (Wells Fargo Center, 3601 South Broad Street)

SmackDown is WWE's last stop on the road to WrestleMania, so expect Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns to take one last shot at each other going into their Mania main event.

Right after the show, WWE will induct its 2024 Hall of Fame class. Inductees include ECW mastermind Paul Heyman, the U.S. Express tag team of Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, Thunderbolt Patterson, Bull Nakano and Muhammad Ali — who was a part of the very first WrestleMania in 1985.

8 p.m. ICW NHB 61: International Death Summit (H2O Wrestling Center, Williamstown, N.J.)

8 p.m. Friday Night LaughDown (Suplex Vintage Wrestling, 628 South Street)

11 a.m. SuplexMania Block Party (Suplex Vintage Wrestling, 628 South Street)

There’s no way Suplex Vintage Wrestling is missing out on the WrestleMania week fun. They’re putting a ring in the middle of South Street and holding a free block party.

“As soon as WrestleMania was announced, we had the idea to shut down the block and put a ring there,” manager Woody Kumetat told KYW Newsradio. “Watching live wrestling on South Street is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Expect exclusive merchandise from rapper Westside Gunn, food trucks, Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Broken Skull IPA on tap and the Rock’s Teramana tequila flowing.

“We’re hoping that if this goes well, it can become more of a yearly tradition,” said Kumetat.

11:30 a.m. NXT Stand and Deliver (Wells Fargo Center, 3601 South Broad Street)

The future of WWE is on display as its developmental brand, NXT, takes over the Wells Fargo Center. The “Mad Dragon” Ilja Dragunov defends his NXT Championship against Tony D’Angelo, while best friends-turned-bitter enemies Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams finally collide.

12 p.m. Kaiju Big Battel: High Noon (Monster Factory, 541 Mantua Ave, Paulsboro, New Jersey)

For pure pro wrestling fun in all its goofy glory, look no further than Kaiju Big Battel. Their universe is one where giant monsters tangle in the ring, knocking down buildings and fighting for the fate of the world. They’re bringing their brand of mayhem to the Monster Factory for Mania Week.

12 p.m. ThrashElvania (H2O Wrestling Center, Williamstown, N.J.)

Stars from Major League Wrestling, PROGRESS, Dragon Gate and more come together for this show, organized by Pro Wrestling Illustrated editor-in-chief Kevin McElvaney in honor of his late wife, Megan Thrash. All proceeds benefit the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.

2:30 p.m. The Collective: GCW vs. TJPW (Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

The battle lines are drawn between GCW and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling as a who's who of the world's best female wrestlers duke it out.

For the stars of TJPW, it's an opportunity to perform for fervent American wrestling fans — and for Australian expat Shazza McKenzie, it's an opportunity to chase her wildest wrestling dreams.

“GCW vs. TJPW is a huge one for me,” McKenzie told KYW Newsradio, “because my biggest goal in wrestling right now is wrestling for TJPW.”

Along with McKenzie, Allie Katch, Steph De Lander, Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh are among the talent expected to appear. McKenzie says fans can expect “a great showcase of the best joshi talents today against the top American independent women.”

4 p.m. Unlock the Unexpected: ETU vs. Dragon Gate (H2O Wrestling Center, Williamstown, N.J.)

7 p.m. WWE WrestleMania XL Night 1 (Lincoln Financial Field, One Lincoln Financial Field Way)

The last time WWE brought WrestleMania to Philadelphia, in 1999, the Rock — then in his dastardly corporate heel era — headlined the show as champ against working class hero “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

Twenty-five years later, the Rock — once again a corporate heel — headlines the first night of WrestleMania XL teaming with his cousin, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes — who will face Roman the following night for his belt.

If Cody and Seth win, Roman’s family can’t interfere in the match. But if Rock and Roman come out on top, that title match will be under “Bloodline Rules,” meaning anything goes.

In addition, Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley will defend her championship against "The Man" Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns' cousins Jey and Jimmy Uso will collide in a brother-versus-brother grudge match, and the Damage CTRL trio of Asuka, Kairi Sane and Dakota Kai will face the team of Bianca Belair, Naomi and — in her WrestleMania debut — Jade Cargill. The former AEW TBS Champion has been positioned as a rising star since her WWE debut last fall, and she looks to cement herself as a dominant force for years to come.

11:59 p.m. The Collective: Joey Janela’s Spring Break - Clusterf*ck Forever (Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard)

Spring Break continues with a “Punjabi Prison” match, the first time anyone aside from WWE has booked that match — and with good reason, as Punjabi Prison matches are almost always awful.

However, Spring Break has a tendency to take the worst ideas and somehow pull them off, so this four-way tag team match inside two bamboo cages might actually work. If nothing else, it’ll be fun finding out.

And if it doesn't work, GCW can always blame Kevin Ku for willing it into existence.

12 p.m. Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame Ceremony (Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown)

GCW inducts the latest class of its Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame at Wrestlecon. Ring of Honor’s Briscoe Brothers, the late, beloved Philly indie standout Trent Acid and ECW and ROH alumnus Steve Corino will be inducted, along with indie superfan Kevin Hogan.

They'll be joined by legendary hardcore high-flyer Sabu, whose blood-soaked battles with Terry Funk and Taz in South Philly helped put ECW on the map.

12 p.m. The Lapsed Fan Podcast's Bozos, Biceps, and B.S. Brunch (Punch Line Philly)

12:30 p.m. Worldwide Wrestling Dojo: Thunderstorm (Worldwide Wrestling Dojo, 701 Canal Street, Bristol, Pennsylvania)

The Worldwide Wrestling Dojo, owned and operated by Cheeseburger, presents “Thunderstorm,” featuring some of its top students, including the Xyberhawx, Pancakes, Ashley Buchanan and Abby Jane.

1 p.m. Combat Zone Wrestling: Philly Special (Murphy Recreation Center, 300 West Shunk Street)

Some say the indie wrestling renaissance of the 2000s started in South Philly, with Combat Zone Wrestling at the ECW Arena (now 2300 Arena) and Ring of Honor down the street at the Murphy Rec Center.

For the first time, CZW comes to Murphy Rec, bringing wrestling back to Shunk Street for the first time in more than two decades. CZW World Champion Rich Swann is scheduled to appear, along with tag champs Milk Chocolate, and Robert Dreissker from Germany’s WxW.

2:30 p.m. SPO Wrestling Presents END GAM3 (Mitchell Fire Company, 300 East Federal Street, Burlington, New Jersey)

3 p.m. Spark Joshi Trailblaze (Monster Factory, 541 Mantua Ave, Paulsboro, New Jersey)

“Joshi” is the term for hard-hitting Japanese women’s wrestling. Spark Joshi aims to bring that style to the U.S., and they’re bringing in the big guns, including reigning New Japan IWGP Women’s Champion Mayu Iwatani, Billie Starkz and one of joshi’s biggest stars, Aja Kong.

4 p.m. Ruthless Pro Presents: MIASMA (H2O Wrestling Center, Williamstown, N.J.)

7 p.m. WWE WrestleMania XL Night 2 (Lincoln Financial Field, One Lincoln Financial Field Way)

The biggest event in wrestling comes to a head when Cody Rhodes challenges Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre.

Also, women's Royal Rumble winner Bayley calls her shot against WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky, the woman who betrayed her and kicked her out of Damage CTRL.

8 p.m. WWE Monday Night Raw (Wells Fargo Center, 3601 South Broad Street)

The final event of WrestleMania week is the Monday Night Raw after Mania, which has become a much-anticipated event in itself each year. WWE often holds its biggest surprises of the year for that episode, from big plot twists to surprise returns. It’s the show that sets the stage for the next year of WWE.
