Main eventing Night 1 will be Sasha Banks vs Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women's Championship. The card for the entire show is pretty stacked, so check out everything you need to know--from how to watch to our predictions--below. Of course, for more predictions, thoughts, and looks back on the world of professional wrestling, you should make sure to check out GameSpot's wrestling podcast, Wrestle Buddies.
In the past, all you would have to do is sign up for the WWE Network, WWE's streaming service with a huge back catalog. However, that service had been sunset in the United States, so you'll have to sign up for Peacock. For those outside of the US, don't worry, as the WWE Network will be functioning as normal for you.
Peacock will be the new home to WWE content for now in the US, with classic episodes of Raw, Smackdown, and NXT available to watch on demand. Additionally, Peacock will live stream major events and you can check out the backlog of WWE PPVs, original content, and plenty of other things that were available on the WWE Network. Most importantly, it's where you go to watch WWE PPVs now.
Sign up for Peacock
Plans start at $6/month
In order to watch WWE PPVs on Peacock, you'll need a Premium or Premium Plus account, which costs money. A Premium account is ad-supported but only costs $5 a month, and a Premium Plus account has no ads--there's some small exceptions to that rule though--and costs $10 a month. Peacock also has original series and like other services, as a catalog of movies and TV shows. However, Peacock also will be live streaming the Tokyo Olympics this summer, which is a big plus for fans.
As for Wrestlemania 37, from the highly-anticipated Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair bout for the Smackdown Women's Championship to what's bound to be another barnburner between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, Wrestlemania 37 is bound to have something for everyone. This years event will take place in Tampa, Florida at Raymond James Stadium. This will be the first WWE event in a year that will allow people to attend in-person. And you can still buy tickets if you want to go.
If you can't or won't attend the live event, you'll probably want to watch from the safety and comfort of your own couch. If you live in the United States or Australia, Wrestlemania airs at a reasonable hour. If you live in the UK, we're very sorry if you want to watch live because it's going to be two long mornings for you. Check out some global start times below.
Of course, make sure to come back to GameSpot in the upcoming weeks for interviews with WWE wrestlers, more Wrestlemania podcasts, and live coverage and a review of the PPV on April 10 and 11.
