The Countdown is on to WWE’s WrestleMania XXVI, and they’re kicking things off with a Smackdown-showing, Superstar-appearing, autograph-signing party to end all parties! Presented by the City of Glendale, Westgate City Center and the University of Phoenix Stadium, the FREE, family friendly event will give fans their first opportunity to get into full-on WrestleMania mood.

The WrestleMania Kickoff Party at Westgate takes place March 19 from 6-10 p.m. and will include an appearance and autograph signing by Superstar R-Truth, live entertainment, prizes, face painting … even a chance to win floor-seat tickets to the March 28 WrestleMania event at University of Phoenix Stadium. And to set the scene, Westgate will be showing SmackDown from 8-10 p.m. on its 30-by-50-foot Plaza LED screen (the LAST televised WWE event before to the self-proclaimed Super Bowl of professional wrestling).
