WWE is just one among the many concerns to have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak. WWE had to keep all their shows behind closed doors and then also had to shift the venue of their biggest event of the year. Later, it was reported that Roman Reigns who is scheduled to face Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 is being checked by doctors and was allegedly heard saying that he doesn’t feel like working amid the coronavirus outbreak.

WWE pre-recording WrestleMania 36?

PWInsider earlier revealed that WWE will pre-record WrestleMania 36 on Wednesday and Thursday this week so that WWE superstars don’t have to work overtime.

Not only that, but the WWE is also thinking of pre-recording the upcoming WWE RAW, WWE SmackDown and WWE NXT episodes.
