AEW WrestleMania
Weekend 2026
AEW Dynasty PPV, ROH events, GCW, PWG, NWA and dozens of indie shows flood Las Vegas for the biggest weekend in professional wrestling. Your complete guide to WM weekend beyond WWE.
AEW Dynasty — The Alternative WrestleMania Weekend PPV
All Elite Wrestling has made it a tradition to run a major PPV event during WrestleMania weekend, counter-programming WWE's biggest show and capturing the thousands of wrestling fans who travel to the host city. AEW Dynasty 2026 in Las Vegas is positioned to be the most-attended AEW event in company history — with 50,000-plus wrestling fans in the city, the demand for alternatives to WWE is at its peak.
AEW World Championship
The AEW World Title match at Dynasty 2026 will feature the hottest programs from the first quarter of the year. Expect a main event quality match that rivals anything WWE puts on at WM41.
International Title
AEW's International Championship has become one of the most competitive titles in wrestling. Dynasty typically features an international title showcase match that delivers technically.
TNT Championship
The TNT Championship open challenge format has produced some of AEW's best matches. Dynasty is the perfect venue for a career-making defence or a title change that shakes the division.
Women's Division
AEW's women's division continues to grow. Dynasty 2026 could see the TBS Championship defended in a standout match that showcases the depth of female talent across the roster.
WrestleMania Weekend Indie Scene — Las Vegas 2026
WrestleMania weekend is the Super Bowl of independent wrestling. Promotions from around the world descend on the host city to book the hottest talent and draw the wrestling faithful away from WM activities. Las Vegas 2026 will feature over 50 shows across the weekend from promotions ranging from cult favourites to national organisations.
GCW typically runs multiple WM weekend shows including tournament events. Their combination of death match action, indie workrate and outlaw atmosphere makes them essential WM weekend viewing.
PWG's WM weekend show is historically the hottest ticket indie wrestling offers. The "surprise" booking philosophy means fans buy tickets without knowing the card — and it never disappoints.
The NWA brings their traditional presentation and classic title lineage to WM weekend. Their Worlds Heavyweight Championship — the oldest active title in wrestling — always draws a devoted audience.
ROH's Supercard of Honor is a WM weekend institution. Under AEW's ownership, ROH has regained credibility as a workrate-focused brand, and their WM weekend show consistently delivers elite technical wrestling.
WrestleMania Fan Fest & Axxess — Las Vegas 2026
WM Axxess Fan Experience
WWE's official WrestleMania fan festival runs across the WM weekend. Axxess features autograph sessions with WWE talent, interactive exhibits, title belt photo opportunities, merchandise exclusives and live match presentations.
In Las Vegas, Axxess is expected to be one of the largest events in the convention's history — the city's existing infrastructure for large-scale events makes it ideal for handling the expected 30,000+ Axxess visitors across the weekend.
Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on the Friday before WrestleMania is one of the most emotional nights in wrestling. The 2026 class will be inducted at a Las Vegas arena, with multiple legends expected to receive the honour.
The Hall of Fame Friday is also where many surprise returns are teased — inductees often step back through the curtain for the first time in years, and their presence through WM weekend generates enormous social media engagement.
