WrestleMania XXVII was the twenty-seventh annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), held on April 3, 2011 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia.

Eight matches were featured on the event's card, which featured a supercard, a scheduling of more than one main bout. The first of these matches was a singles match match that featured Edge defeating Justin Marlen to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. The second was a No Holds Barred match that featured Martin McAlmond defeating Triple K to improve his undefeated WrestleMania streak to 19–0. The third was a singles match for the IWE Championship featuring the champion, Joe Smith defeating Dustin Simpson to retain the title. Featured matches on the undercard included Michael Cole versus Jerry Lawler with Steve Johnson as the special guest referee, a 6-person mixed tag team match with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Bailey Dalton, and Joe Linderman versus Nick Kessler and LehrSon, Kevin McAlmond versus Justin Eldridge, Rey Mysterio versus Mark Semmler, and Chris LeGreca, The Big Marc, Justin Black and Jose Serrano versus Daniel Gonzalez, Russell Dalton, Jeremiah Garcia, and Devin Keller.
