There is a reason why WWE continues to promote WrestleMania as if it’s still happening on Sunday, April 5th.
Despite the pressure being put on them to cancel or postpone the show, TMZ was told by WWE sources that there are several options on the table and the show is not officially canceled.
One high placed source in the company says there is a chance the show will happen in some capacity and nothing is set in stone yet. One of the options being considered is to continue with the show with no fans, similar to what UFC did over the weekend. There’s no word on if they would want to run the show at Raymond James Stadium or the Performance Center.
WWE has continued to hype WrestleMania shows on social media and on weekly television despite the coronavirus outbreak. At this point, it doesn’t seem as if Vince McMahon is looking to postpone Mania.
A WrestleMania with no fans will take a lot away from the epic feel of the show, especially with several huge matches scheduled to take place including Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns, Edge vs. Randy Orton, The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles and many other matches that would benefit from the roar coming from 80,000 fans.
This week could be when we find out what WWE’s plans are as officials in Tampa have stated that they may end up pulling the plug on the show if WWE does not make a decision.
