WWE continues to supersize WWE WrestleMania 40 weekend. The festivities unofficially kick off on Monday, April 1st with WWE Monday Night Raw, the final episode of the red brand's show before the Showcase of the Immortals. As the week progresses, WWE launches WWE World at WrestleMania, a five-day fan event that will feature everything from panels with WWE superstars to a live taping of The Pat McAfee Show. That Friday, WWE will put on a double-header with WWE SmackDown and the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. From there, WWE WrestleMania 40 goes down, but there will still be big events in and around it.
