This weekend, Dallas, Texas and AT&T Stadium will be the home to WWE’s Wrestlemania 38. The 2022 event will take place over the course of two nights–Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3–and it will feature some of WWE’s most-popular talent, like Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, and more.
The two day Wrestlemania has 14 matches on the card, and there’s a lot to get excited about. Seth Rollins is facing a mystery opponent, and while rumors are circling that it will be former WWE star Cody Rhodes will be appearing; however, many other wrestling fans think we’ll all get swerved and Rollins’ mystery opponent will actually be Shane McMahon. One of the other most-talked about matches for the weekend is Becky Lynch defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair. On a recent episode of Raw, Lynch attempted to cut Belair’s hair; however, Belair got a hold of the scissors and cut a bunch of Lynch’s hair off. There’s a good chance scissors will play a part into this championship match.

Typically, there’s a Kickoff Show which airs one hour prior to the main card. There, you’ll see at least one match take place. In the past, Wrestlemania–and a few other mainstay PPVs–had a two hour preshow, but that seems to be history now. WWE’s Wrestlemania Kickoff Show will air on Peacock, Twitter, and YouTube both days. However, Saturday’s Kickoff will also air live on the USA Network.
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.
Additionally, you can check out Wrestlemania at your local movie theater, as long as Fathom Events has it playing in a theater near you.
