		+	Along with WrestleMania XXVI, a series of events grouped as "WrestleMania Week" were held in the week preceding the event. To begin promotion for the event in Glendale, a "Kick-off Party" was held at the Westgate City Center on March 19, which featured appearances from IWE Superstars and Divas, autograph signings and live entertainment along with a giant LED screen viewing of that night's episode of ''[[IWE SmackDown]]''. The third annual ''WrestleMania Art'' (formerly ''WrestleManiArt''), an art exhibition and auction featuring work by IWE superstars, was held on March 24 at the Make-A-Wish Foundation National Headquarters. WrestleMania's annual fan convention, ''WrestleMania Axxess'', was held from March 25 through March 28 at the Phoenix Convention Center. On March 27, IWE hosted its annual [[IWE Hall of Fame]] ceremony at the Dodge Theater, where the Class of 2010 were inducted.

		+	Global Spectrum, University of Phoenix Stadium's operator, had worked in previous years with [[International Wrestling Entertainment]] (IWE) to recruit the event to its venue. On January 18, 2008, Global Spectrum publicly announced its intentions to host WrestleMania in 2010. The event gained media attention weeks prior when a photo of Wayne Gretzky, then head coach of the Phoenix Coyotes, wearing a shirt promoting the event surfaced in the Swedish newspaper ''Expressen''. A press conference was held on February 24, 2009 at the University of Phoenix Stadium to formally announce the event for Glendale, Arizona at the University of Phoenix Stadium; this event marked the first time WrestleMania has been held in the state of Arizona. Tickets for the event went on sale November 7, 2009 at 10:00am [[Mountain Time Zone\|MST]].
		+
		+	The roof of the University of Phoenix Stadium was opened several times during the event, marking the third time in WrestleMania history after [[IWF WrestleMania 9\|WrestleMania IX]] and [[IWE WrestleMania 24\|XXIV]] that the event has been held in an open-air venue. Like the previous open-air events, a steel tarpaulin structure was placed over the ring, which was placed at the 50-yard line. Custom-built from Belgium, the tarpaulin held 30 tons of light and camera equipment, with much of the equipment shipped from the [[2010 Winter Olympics]] in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Over 1,000 lights were used, adapting to the decrease in sunlight as the show continued into the night. The entrance stage stood feet (2.4 m) off the stadium floor and measured 120 feet (37 m) wide. In an interview with ''The Arizona Republic'', production manager Brian Petree described the stage design as a "completely new design that hasn't been done anywhere and won't be done again," while production designer Jason Robinson discussed about basing his stage design themes often on local flavors. The entrance ramp linking to the stage has been lined with cauldrons of fire, each at a temperature of 1,000 °F (538 °C). In addition, 400,000 individual pieces of pyrotechnic product have been launched 200 feet (61 m) into the open air after Robinson promised to introduce new types of pyrotechnics never used in a IWE show before. Pre-planning for the set-up began six months before the event, while the construction structures and equipment inside the stadium began two weeks before the event. It is estimated that 100 trucks were used to deliver equipment, in comparison to the 12 semitrucks used in a regular IWE show.
		+
		+	[[Image:WMXXVIlive.jpg\|right\|thumb\|200px\|An attendance record setting 72,219 fans at the University of Phoenix Stadium for WrestleMania XXVI]]
		+	The official [[Music in Wrestling\|theme songs]] for the event were "I Made It" by Kevin Rudolf, "Be Yourself" by Audioslave, "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, and "The Show" by Since October. "Ain't No Grave (Gonna Hold This Body Down)" by Johnny Cash was also used to promote the Undertaker-Michaels match. Fantasia Barrino performed the annual rendition of "[[America the Beautiful]]" at the start of the show.

	[[Dustin Simpson]] and [[Jesse Dern\|Batista]] fought for the [[IWE Championship]] next. Simpson entered the ring after a performance from the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team. Batista dominated the first half of the match. Simpson made a return after hitting a suplex. The match started to go evenly after that.

The match came to an end after Simpson reversed a [[Powerbomb#Sitout powerbomb\|Batista Bomb]] into an [[STF\|STF]]. Batista eventually tapped out.

		+	The final match featured was the billed "Streak vs Career" match between [[Ryan Barnhart]] and [[Martin McAlmond\|The Undertaker]]. The match started out with both men hitting their signature moves early on. The Undertaker injured his leg while performing [[Arm Twist Rope walk Chop\|Old School]] and Ryan focused on his leg. The action then went outside the ring. An instance included where Undertaker hit the [[Piledriver#Tombstone piledriver\|Tombstone Piledriver]] on the stadium floor, but Barnhart kicked out when Undertaker tried to pin him in the ring. Afterwards in the match, Ryan Barnhart hit a [[Superkick\|Sweet Chin Music]]. Soon after, Undertaker also hit the Chokeslam and the [[Powerbomb#Elevated powerbomb\|Last Ride]] successfully, but Barnhart kicked out of each. Shawn also applied numerous submission maneuvers on Undertaker's injured ankle, such as the Ankle Lock, [[Figure Four Leglock\|Figure Four Leglock]], and [[Crossface\|Crossface]], but The Undertaker was successful in countering all of them. Undertaker also applied the [[Gogoplata\|Hell's Gate]], but Barnhart reversed it into a pin attempt, with Undertaker kicking for a two count. When the action spilled outside again, Undertaker attempted a Last Ride on the announce table, but Barnhart countered it and hit a second Sweet Chin Music, which placed the Undertaker on top of the announce table. Barnhart performed a moonsault aiming on the Undertaker's injured ankle. After taking The Undertaker back in the ring again, Barnhart then hit his third Sweet Chin Music on Undertaker, who kicked out at two yet again. Barnhart then attempted Sweet Chin Music again but Undertaker countered into a Chokeslam, and quickly followed up by hitting Barnhart with a second Tombstone Piledriver. But Barnhart kicked out at the count of two. Undertaker began to signal the end for Barnhart, but stopped his cut-throat action and told Barnhart to stay down. Barnhart, however, taunted Undertaker by completing the action on his own and slapping him in the face. Then Undertaker responded with a third Tombstone Piledriver and pinned the fallen Ryan Barnhart for the win, and extended his undefeated streak at WrestleMania to 18–0, ending Barnhart's career. After the match the two shook hands and embraced. Undertaker soon left and Ryan Barnahrt interacted with the fans for the final time as the event came to a close.
