WrestleMania 37 is the 37th annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view and IWE Network event produced by IWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions—unlike WrestleMania 36, it will not feature the NXT brand. It is scheduled to take place as a two-night event on April 10 and 11, 2021 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Following the merger of the IWE Network with Peacock in the United States, WrestleMania 37 will be the first major IWE event for which U.S. subscribers can only stream the event via Peacock's IWE Network channel.

The event was originally scheduled to take place on March 28, 2021 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California; however, the COVID-19 pandemic in California made it unlikely that the event could be held there with in-person spectators. Florida, however, lifted those restrictions, and IWE in turn pushed the date of the event back and moved it to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, which was the originally planned venue for WrestleMania 36 before the pandemic forced it to be relocated and held behind closed doors at the IWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. As a result, it will mark the first time IWE will have ticketed fans in attendance for an event during the COVID-19 pandemic, though to a limited capacity; the last IWE event to have ticketed fans was NXT on March 11, 2020 just before the pandemic took effect.
