7 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Former Champion turns face, Triple H confirms rumors on being 'demoted'? (March 13th, 2020)

#2. WWE still hoping to go through with WrestleMania 36

Sports leagues have been under tremendous pressure to give answers about what they plan to do with their upcoming events due to the outbreak and threat of Coronavirus. State and Central Governments have been imposing travel bans and restrictions on large public gatherings, which has led the NBA to suspend their league, along with many major soccer leagues in Europe being forced to postpone their seasons for the time being.

UFC has been under scrutiny as well but responded by saying that they plan to shift certain events to their "Apex" Center, while their upcoming event in Brazil will take place behind closed doors.

WWE is in an even trickier situation since WrestleMania 36 is expected to gather over 75,000 people in one stadium. Right now, that poses far too much risk and the ban on travel from Europe means that a large chunk of the traveling fanbase won't be able to attend the show.

The Tampa government delayed any response as to whether they're canceling WrestleMania 36 and from the way WWE is advertising it, they're still hoping for the show to go on.
