Over the weekend, the company discussed the possibility of broadcasting Wrestlemania from the Performance Center in Orlando as a failsafe if no other options are available.

If WWE does plan to continue with a Wrestlemania broadcast, it would be highly unlikely any fans will be in attendance.

Last week, a rescheduled date of June 7 was rumored among talent. While there some within the company believe postponing the show to a later date is a feasible option, Vince McMahon is adamant that Wrestlemania 36 will take place on April 5.

In a statement released Sunday, the CDC is urging all gatherings of 50 or more people be halted for the next eight weeks.

The City Of Tampa did issue a statement late last week, indicating they hope WWE will make a decision on whether they are canceling Wrestlemania in Tampa.

Hillsborough Commissioner Les Miller did state the city will “probably have to pull the plug” on the event in the next week if “we’re still int he situation we’re in”.

As more details are known, updates will be provided.
