We are just six days away from the grandest show of them all in the sports entertainment, known as Wrestlemania.
Starting from tonight, WWE will start taking over most of the TV programming on the USA based TV platforms. After going over with the live programming on tonight and tomorrow night, the entire roster will move to New Orleans to entertain the fans throughout the week.
From tonight’s edition of the flagship programming, the Wrestlemania week will kick-start. For those who can’t be part of the ultimate thrill ride live in person, they can enjoy the WWE programming, each week as the broadcaster announced to celebrate the week, in style.
As confirmed on WWE.com, the exclusive cable home to WWE’s flagship TV programs Raw and SmackDown LIVE, USA Network will telecast not only the regular programs but also some additional shows, honouring the ‘show of shows’. Special- event programming will be telecasted that will be leading up to WrestleMania.
