WWE statement regarding WrestleMania 36

BREAKING NEWS: “In coordination with local partners and government officials, WrestleMania and all related events in Tampa Bay will not take place.

However, WrestleMania will still stream live on Sunday, April 5 at 7 pm ET on WWE Network and be available on pay-per-view. Only essential personnel will be on the closed set at WWE’s training facility in Orlando, Florida to produce WrestleMania.”


TAMPA, Fla. -- WWE is no longer having the highly-anticipated WrestleMania 36 in front of fans in Tampa.

According to an announcement from WWE, WrestleMania 36 will take place "on the closed set at WWE's training facility in Orlando."

The event is closed to the public but will be available on pay-per-view.

The announcement comes as the Tampa Bay area, as well as the rest of the world, remain on edge from the coronavirus outbreak. The World Health Organization declared the virus' outbreak as a pandemic on March 11.


Prior to the outbreak, officials expected WrestleMania 36 to bring in more than 70,000 fans at Raymond James Stadium.

Earlier in the month Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said public safety is a major priority.

"A threat to public safety is a threat," Sheriff Chad Chronister said previously. "It doesn’t matter if it’s medical, if there’s some type of illness or it’s an active shooter."

WWE did not say if the event will be rescheduled.
