In addition, for the first time in history, WWE will present
both Friday Night SmackDown® and the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony
live on the same night at American Airlines Center, giving all fans
in attendance an unprecedented opportunity to witness both events

Fame go on sale this Tuesday, February 22 at 10 AM CT via

The Undertaker is one of the most popular Superstars in WWE
history and a pop culture icon. After making his WWE debut at the
1990 Survivor Series® , “The Phenom” went on to hold nearly every
major Championship in WWE and has competed in some of the most
memorable matches in history over his illustrious 30-year career.
In addition, The Undertaker amassed a historic consecutive 21-year
WrestleMania undefeated streak that may never be broken. In 2020,
The Undertaker was featured in the WWE Network docuseries
“Undertaker: The Last Ride,” which was praised by both fans and
critics and made his “Final Farewell” at Survivor Series. The
Undertaker continues to make appearances outside the ring, most
recently appearing in Netflix’s Escape The Undertaker.
WrestleMania 38, the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania in
history, takes place Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3 live
from AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Tickets are currently on sale via
Seatgeek.com.
