With WWE WrestleMania 41 now finally confirmed to be emanating from Las Vegas, Nevada, there's a whole bunch of new details on the wider WrestleMania Week surrounding next year's Showcase of the Immortals.

From Justin Walker of KLAS-TV (as picked up on by POST Wrestling), WWE World is confirmed to be taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center across five days during 'Mania Week. WWE World was introduced as part of WrestleMania XL this year, with this being a fan event that featured live interviews with various talent, The Slammy Awards, a WWE 2K24 tournament, special editions of The Pat McAfee Show, autograph signings, and plenty more.

Bookending WrestleMania 41, the pre-'Mania SmackDown and post-'Mania Raw will be taking place from an MGM Resorts venue, although there is currently no mention of WWE doing anything at the Sphere.
