Vince McMahon Reportedly Meeting With Tampa Officials About WrestleMania 36

WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon was reportedly on the ground in Tampa, Florida on Thursday to meet with city officials regarding WrestleMania 36 week and the coronavirus pandemic.

City officials in Tampa Bay met Thursday to discuss potential changes or cancelations to sporting events and gatherings in the area. Mania is expected to be impacted in a significant way due to the COVID-19 outbreak. WWE released a statement today reiterating that it is committed to hosting the event in Tampa on April 5, but is monitoring the situation very closely for the health and safety of its talent, employees, and fans.

WWE also confirmed Thursday that it has a contingency plan in place should they be forced to cancel the event. Speculation from a number of top sources suggests WrestleMania could possibly be delayed until the summer months, but nothing has been officially announced.

Friday's WWE SmackDown has been moved to the WWE Performance Center and will not feature a live audience. 

The next few days and weeks are expected to be extremely unpredictable, unprecedented and disrupted for WWE and the whole of professional wrestling for that matter. WNS will keep you updated with all the breaking news amid the coronavirus pandemic.
