WrestleMania 23 is the forthcoming twenty-third annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view produced by World Wrestling Entertainment. It is scheduled to take place on April 1, 2007 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The event will be the first WrestleMania at Ford Field, but the second to take place in the Detroit metropolitan area (following WrestleMania III, where a reported world record setting 93,173 fans filled the Pontiac Silverdome in 1987, 20 years before this scheduled event).

WrestleMania 23 will be a joint-promotion pay-per-view event, featuring performers from the RAW, SmackDown!, and ECW brands. The tagline for WrestleMania 23 is Detroit Will Never Be The Same. The theme song for the event is "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva.

Tickets for the event started to go on sale from November 11, 2006. As of November 12, 2006, ticket sales for WrestleMania 23 stand at approximately USD$4.35 million, with almost 50,000 seats booked and still more to go. [1] This makes WrestleMania 23 the highest-grossing pay-per-view in WWE history as well as the highest-grossing event in professional wrestling history, shattering the previous record of USD$3.9 million held at WrestleMania X8. [2] As part of the promotion for this event, a fan rally press conference was held at the Ford Field on July 25, 2006.
