WrestleMania X8 was the eighteenth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on March 17, 2002, at the SkyDome in Toronto, Canada, the second WrestleMania at that venue (following WrestleMania VI in 1990). The event marked the final WrestleMania event under the WWF name, as they re-branded to WWE later that year. The record-breaking attendance for the SkyDome of 68,237 grossed approximately $6.1 million CAD ($3.9 million USD). WrestleMania weekend also included WWE Fan Axxess at the Canadian National Exhibition's Automotive Building.

The main event was between Chris Jericho and Triple H for the Undisputed WWE Championship, which Triple H won after a Pedigree. The main matches on the undercard included The Rock versus Hollywood Hogan in a match dubbed "Icon vs. Icon", Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Scott Hall, and Ric Flair versus The Undertaker in a no disqualification match.
