WWE has now officially announced it will hold a one-hour, interactive pre-show at WrestleMania 29 this Sun., April 7, 2013, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The show will stream live starting at 6 p.m. ET as a lead-in to the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) of the year and feature Wade Barrett vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental championship.
Expanded to 60 minutes of access and action inside MetLife Stadium, the live Pre-Show promises to pack a punch with backstage interviews, footage from around MetLife Stadium, and expert analysis from a unique panel of WWE Superstars and Legends. Plus, the WWE Universe will have the unprecedented opportunity to participate in the Pre-Show with polls and in-show featured tweets and Touts with your comments. Not to mention an Intercontinental Title Match between champion Wade Barrett and The Miz!
In addition to that, though, for the first time ever the company will also have a post-show that will stream live immediately following the conclusion of WrestleMania.
