WrestleMania week is already in full swing behind the scenes, and WWE isnt wasting a second getting ready for the biggest weekend of the year. According to Fightful Select, new details show WWE started preparing earlier than usual this year, with rehearsals reportedly scheduled much sooner than fans typically see. That change suggests the company wants everything locked in ahead of time instead of scrambling at the last minute before WrestleMania 42 goes live. At the same time, theres been plenty of talk happening backstage especially about the Pat McAfee storyline involving Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. Despite the strong reactions to that angle, WWE reportedly isnt stopping talent from speaking their minds publicly. That situation became more noticeable after Damian Priest openly pushed back on the storyline during interviews last week, and so far, nobody has been told to stay quiet about it. Promotion is also going into overdrive this week. WWE has official media days scheduled for Thursday and Friday, and talent are expected to spend much of the week doing interviews and appearances. The push is said to be massive, with a strong focus on getting fans locked in for WrestleMania weekend. Brand deals are playing a role in the buildup too. The recent campaign featuring Rhea Ripley and The General Insurance is reportedly part of a bigger company-wide partnership, and even TNA World Champion Joe Hendry has been involved in promotional efforts tied to the deal. That crossover push shows WWE is leaning hard into outside partnerships heading into the show. There was also speculation that Bruno Mars might show up at WrestleMania after WWE filmed content at one of his concerts. That idea appears to be off the table now, as the footage captured at the concert was reportedly used strictly for promotional material rather than setting up a live appearance. Meanwhile, the biggest visual sign that WrestleMania week is officially underway is already happening inside the venue. Stage construction began almost immediately after the Bruno Mars concert wrapped, with crews moving fast to transform the space into full WrestleMania production mode. Photos that surfaced after footage aired on the April 13 episode of RAW showed just how quickly WWE jumped into build mode. Between early rehearsals, nonstop interviews, major brand deals, and stage construction already rolling, WrestleMania week is clearly moving at full speed before the first bell even rings. Do you think WWE starting preparations earlier than usual is the right move, or does WrestleMania always feel this chaotic no matter what? Drop your thoughts and let us know what you think.
