WWE WrestleMania is slated to take place in Tampa on April 5th, but the coronavirus outbreak might change those plans. If WWE must postpone WrestleMania 36 they have a back-up plan.

The city of Tampa has meeting scheduled for today. They will determine at that time whether they are canceling major events in the city.

Alex McCarthy reports that WWE’s current contingency plan for WrestleMania is to hold the event in June or July. This would push the show of shows back to the summer leaving everyone to wonder what they will produce in the meantime.

June/July is one of WWE’s contingency plans I believe. With the European travel ban, number of events shutting down and even the NBA season outright suspended… I can’t see how WWE can run ‘Mania now.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
