Two WrestleMania week mainstays – WrestleCon and The
Collective – are joining forces for next year in Las Vegas.
The Collective is a series of events presented by Game
Changer Wrestling and other promotions who team up to offer
several events under one roof while WrestleCon is the
largest wrestling convention in the world.
While these two events are usually held at separate
locations, next year will see them all in one place – at The
Horseshoe, formerly known as Bally’s, on the Las Vegas
Strip.
WrestleCon will be held from Thursday, April 16 until
Sunday, April 19 while The Collective will start a day
earlier on April 15 and ends on Sunday as well.
Brett Lauderdale, who runs GCW, said that it “is going to be
awesome” and there are “no Ticketmaster fees” in a post on
X.
Meanwhile, a block of rooms at the Horseshoe Las Vegas have
been reserved for fans who wish to stay in the same hotel,
with rates starting at $193 inclusive of fees. To book go to

EDITOR'S NOTE: There are no events announced as of yet
for Wrestlemania weekend 2026.
The possible reason for the cooperation on Wrestlemania
weekend is the partial overlap with the national Association
of Broadcasters, which is in Las Vegas on April 18-22, 2026.
The NAB Convention is a major event requiring many hotel
rooms and convention space.
