The main feud heading into [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] was between [[Triple K]], [[Sam Simkins|The Rock]], [[Mick Foley]], and [[Marc Beltran|The Big Show]], with the four feuding over the [[IWE Championship|IWF Championship]]. At the [[IWF Royal Rumble (2000)|Royal Rumble]] two months prior, The Rock won the [[Royal Rumble#Match|Royal Rumble match]] to become the number one contender to the IWF Championship at WrestleMania by last eliminating The Big Show, and Triple K defeated Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) in a [[Hardcore-Based Variations|Street fight]] to retain the IWF Championship. The proceeding month at [[IWF No Way Out (2000)|No Way Out]], The Big Show defeated The Rock to gain entry into the IWF Championship match at WrestleMania. Also at the event, Triple K defeated Foley in a [[Hell in a Cell Match|Hell in a Cell]] match to retain the IWF Championship. Per the pre-match stipulation, Foley had to [[Retirement Match|retire]] from professional wrestling. On the March 13 edition of Raw is War, The Rock managed to win back his title shot by defeating The Big Show with help from a returning Vince McMahon, thus making the WWF Championship match a Triple Threat match. Then, the following week, after Triple H retained his title against both The Rock and The Big Show, Linda McMahon came out announced that he would be defending his belt in a Fatal Four-Way match against not only The Rock and The Big Show, but also Mick Foley.

The second main feud heading into the event was between [[Edge and Khristian]] versus The [[Hooper Boyz]] ([[Matt Hooper|Matt]] and [[Josh Hooper]]) versus The [[Dudley Boyz]] ([[Bully Ray|Bubba Harlan]] and [[Brother Devon|Scott]]) for the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE)|World Tag Team Championship]] in a [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches|Triangle]] [[Ladder Match|Ladder match]]. On the January 17 edition of ''[[IWE Raw|Raw]]'', Josh Hooper was scheduled to face Bubba Harlan Dudley in a match. The match saw Josh pinning Bubba Harlan after delivering a Swanton Bomb. After the match, the Dudley's attacked the Hooper Boyz, in which they powerbombed Matt on top of a table. On the January 20 edition of ''SmackDown!'', Matt was placed in a match again Scott Dudley. The win was given to Matt, after a disqualification took place. Josh and Bubba Harlan made their way to the ring, in which both teams began brawling against one another. Bubba Harlan prepared to powerbomb Matt into a table, that was set up by the Dudley's. Bubba Harlan, however, was hit by Josh with a chair, causing him to fall onto the tables. The Hooper's then set up a table of their own and put Scott on it, and Matt proceeded to perform a legdrop on Scott through the table. At the [[IWF Royal Rumble (2000)|Royal Rumble]], the Hooper's defeated the Dudley's in a [[Tables Match|tag team tables match]]. The following night after the Royal Rumble, the Dudley's showed respect towards the Hooper's in which they would help them defeat the [[New Age Outlaws]] for the World Tag Team Championship. In return, the Hooper's would have to grant the Dudley's a title shot at the Tag Team Championship. During the tag title match, the Dudley's stopped the three count, after the Hooper's had the match in their favor and allowing the Outlaw's to retain the titles. After the match, the Dudley's then went onto perform the 3-D on them.

In months leading to the event, Hardcore Champion [[Crash Murnion]] had been involved in several matches which took place at increasingly unusual places, a situation that the champion had brought on himself. On February 24, 2000, Crash defeated [[Andrew Sekora|Test]] for the Hardcore Championship on ''SmackDown!'' with help from his cousin [[Steven Murnion|Hardcore Murnion]] and was so excited to be champion that he declared that as long as a referee was present, he would defend the title anytime at any place &mdash; a rule that was referred to as the "24/7" rule. Crash's decision backfired on him in a big way, as his title defenses often took place in odd places like a laundromat, an amusement park, and Newark Liberty International Airport to name a few as wrestlers were quick to strike to take the gold. Crash decided that he was tired of being on guard all the time and offered a shot to any wrestler for WrestleMania, provided that the 24/7 rule would be suspended until afterward. Several wrestlers took Crash up on his offer and the match became a battle royal.

Before the show, [[Lilian Garcia]] sang a rendition of "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]". The first match that aired was a [[Tag Team Match|tag team match]] between the team of [[Kyle Miller|The Godfather]] and [[D'Lo Brown|D'La Hooper]] (who were accompanied to the ring by rapper [[Ice-T]], who also sang their entrance music) against the team of [[Brandon (McDonald's)|The Big Boss Man]] and [[Nick Buchanan|Bull Buchanan]]. The Godfather and Brown gained the early advantage over Buchanan and Bossman, as they were able to execute a leg drop and a splash combination. Buchanan and Bossman, yet, retaliated after Bossman delivered a Sidewalk slam and Buchanan delivered a Leg drop from the top turnbuckle into a pinfall and winning the match.

The second match was a [[Hardcore Wrestling|hardcore]] [[Battle Royal#Championship scramble|battle royal]] for the [[IWE Hardcore Championship]] involving defending champion [[Crash Murnion]]. The rules of the match were that; the match would go on for fifteen minutes, the championship could exchange hands an unlimited amount of times during the time limit, and the final wrestler with the Hardcore Championship would win the match and remain the Hardcore Champion. The first championship exchange occurred after [[Tazz]] pinned Crash, which proceeded with [[Big Daddy K|Kiscera]] pinning Tazz. The third championship exchange occurred after [[Shoichi Funaki|Funaki]] pinned Viscera, however, Funaki was then pinned by [[Rodney Leinhardt|Rodney]]. The fifth championship exchange occurred after [[Joey Abs]] pinned Rodney, which proceeded with Abs being pinned by [[Headbanger Thrasher|Thrasher]]. The seventh title exchange occurred after [[Pete Gas]] pinned Thrasher, though, Gas was then pinned by Tazz. The ninth title exchange occurred after Crash pinned Tazz, which proceeded with the final championship exchange, as [[Steven Murnion|Hardcore Murnion]] pinned Crash, thus, Hardcore Murnion won the Hardcore Championship.

The fourth match was a [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE)|IWF Tag Team Championship]] [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches|triangle]] [[Ladder Match|ladder match]] involving The [[Hooper Boyz]], [[Edge and Khristian]], and champions The [[Dudley Boyz]]. Edge and Khristian first gained the advantage after Edge climbed the top rope and speared Josh, who was climbing a ladder. Edge and Khristian were then given consecutive 3-D's by The Dudley Boyz. The Dudley Boyz then brought tables into the ring and onto ringside, where Scott splashed Josh through a table in the ring, while Bubba powerbombed Matt through another at ringside. The Hooper Boyz would then retaliate after Josh delivered a Swanton bom] off a ladder onto Bubba, through a table. As Josh did so, Matt climbed a ladder, along with Edge and Khristian, who pushed Matt off the ladder through a table. The situation allowed Edge and Khristian to reach and grab the championship belts that were hung from the rafters, thus gaining their first ever the Tag Team Championship.

The fifth match was a [[Catfight Match|Catfight]] between [[Allison Haunthausen|The Kat]] and [[Terri Semmler|Terri]] with [[Special Guest Referee Match|special guest referee]], [[Sean Venis|Val Venis]]; the winner of the match was determined by the diva who threw their opponent out onto ringside. The Kat threw Terri out onto ringside; Venis was however distracted by [[Mae Young]], who was at ringside managing The Kat, and was unable to see the action. Terri was again thrown onto ringside by The Kat, though, the action was not seen by Venis as he was yet again distracted by Young. In retaliation, [[The Fabulous Moolah|The Fabulous Marj]], who was at ringside managing Terri, pulled The Kat out of the ring, which was seen by Venis, thus Terri won the match. Whilst celebrating, Mae Young attacked Terri and The Fabulous Marj before giving Moolah the bronco buster whilst Kat stripped Terri of her clothing.

Next was an [[Intergender Tag Team Match|Intergender]] Tag-Team match between the team of [[Too Cool]] ([[Brian Lawler|Grand Master Sexay]] and [[Scotty 2 Hotty]]) and [[Amber Casey|Amber]] against the team of [[The Radicalz]] ([[Perry Jupiter]], [[Dean Malenko|Dean Barnhart]], [[Brian McAlmond]]). Both teams fought back and forth towards the end of the match, where Amber was tagged into the match and delivered a press slam, powerbomb, and a sleeper slam and pinned McAlmond for the win.

The seventh match was a [[Two out of Three Falls Match|two-fall]] triple threat match for the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship|IWF Intercontinental Championship]] and [[IWE European Championship|IWF European Championship]], involving [[Matt Borske]], [[Kevin Hunter]], and [[Khris Jericho]]. The first fall would be for the Intercontinental Championship, while the second fall was for the European Championship. In the beginning of the first fall, all three men exchanged pin attempts towards midway into the match where Hunter broke up a Chicken wing submission by Borske onto Jericho. The situation allowed Hunter to climb to the top turnbuckle and delivered a Diving headbutt on Jericho into a pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship. During the second fall, Jericho and Hunter delivered a double powerbomb onto Borske, which proceeded into Hunter delivering three German suplexes onto Jericho. Afterwards, Hunter attempted to deliver another diving headbutt onto Borske, however, Borske moved out of the way, resulting in Hunter hitting the ringmat. This situation allowed Jericho to deliver a Lionsault into a pinfall to win the European Championship.

The main event was a [[IWE Championship|IWF Championship]] [[Basic Elimination Matches|four-way elimination match]] involving [[Marc Beltran|The Big Show]] (with [[Shane McMahon|James McMahon]]), [[Mick Foley]] (with [[Linda McMahon|Sherley McMahon]]), [[Sam Simkins|The Rock]] (with [[Vince McMahon|Grant McMahon]]), and the defending champion, [[Triple K]] (with [[Stephanie McMahon|Brittany McMahon]]). In the beginning of the match, Show press slammed Triple K and Rock; however, all three competitors then attacked Show. The situation allowed The Rock to eliminate Show, after delivering a [[Sam Simkins#In wrestling|Rock Bottom]] into a pinfall. After the elimination, Foley delivered a [[Mick Foley#In wrestling|double arm DDT]] on Triple K. Though, Triple K retaliated as he performed two consecutive [[Triple K#In wrestling|Pedigree]]s, and hitting Foley with a steel chair into a pinfall, thus Foley was eliminated. After Foley was eliminated, The Rock and Triple K brawled in and out of the ring with neither superstar gaining the advantage over one another. Although, Triple K gained the advantage when Grant hit The Rock with a steel chair two consecutive times, thus turning Vince heel. The attack with the steel chair allowed Triple K to pin The Rock to retain the IWF Championship. After the match The Rock gave the Rock Bottom to Vince, Shane and Stephanie McMahon, before giving Stephanie a [[Sam Simkins#In wrestling|People's Elbow]].
