Slam Fest to bring pro wrestling festival to Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas

Dean Muhtadi, known in pro wrestling as Mojo Rawley, talks to Fox News Digital about Slam Fest, taking place in April in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas will turn into the pro wrestling capital of the world for a few days in April.

WrestleMania 42 will be the main course for most fans who will make the trek to Sin City. But in the days leading up to the star-studded show at Allegiant Stadium, there will be plenty of events taking place up and down The Strip that could leave them satisfied and smiling.

Paragon Talent Group and Palms Casino Resort announced last week that Slam Fest will be hosted at the venue, starting on April 15 and lasting until April 18. It will bring several pro wrestling companies together, including Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), House of Glory (HOG), World Wonder Ring Stardom and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, for days of matches.

Dean Muhtadi, the co-founder of Paragon Talent Group who performed in WWE as Mojo Rawley, told Fox News Digital the event received good marks among fans last year, and they wanted to do it again.

"How can we do this this year bigger and better? One way we decided to do that would be for us to put on the wrestling shows at the Palms this year," Muhtadi
