It wouldn’t be WrestleMania without WWE World.
The interactive fan festival has returned to the Las Vegas Convention Center, this time at the South Hall. It’s next to the WrestleMania Superstore, which, at more than 60,000 square feet, is the largest one yet.
Here are seven things to check out:
Meet-and-greets
Get a photo with or an autograph from your favorite wrestler – as long as their prices won’t destroy your wallet. If you couldn’t afford $227.81 for a pic with Cody Rhodes or $445.81 for one with John Cena – both of which sold out a while ago – there are more affordable options each day. You can also line up for free autographs and photos each day on Superstar Row.
Hulkamania Forever
It’s the first WrestleMania without Hulk Hogan, who died July 24. This mini-museum includes gear, title belts and photo opps.
Superstar Entrance
Pick your favorite wrestler, then mimic their walk down the ramp accompanied by their theme song and visuals.
Undertaker Graveyard
See the casket from The Undertaker’s final match at WrestleMania 36. If you like it, you can take it home with you. It’s being auctioned off at shop.wwe.com.
The Can Catch Challenge
Step into the ring and have beer cans (the plushie kind) tossed your way to see how many you can catch, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin-style, in 45 seconds.
Take the Leap
Climb to the top rope and execute your best aerial maneuver onto an air mattress. A photo of your jump will be turned into an ESPN x WWE Topps trading card.
The Danhausen Experience
Get your face painted like the newest WWE sensation, the very nice, very evil Danhausen.
