WrestleMania 36: Coronavirus threatens upcoming WrestleMania event, will Wrestlemania be cancelled?

Two individuals in Manatee and Hillsborough County, Fla. got tested “pre-emptively positive” for coronavirus and Governor Rob DeSantis wasted no time in declaring a public health emergency in the state of Tampa. World Health Organization (WHO) and The Centers for Disease have also warned the residents of Tampa about the arrival of coronavirus. Thus, WWE officials cannot afford to ignore the deadly disease.

According to reports, Stephanie McMahon and City Officials have already discussed the matter last week at a luncheon organised at the Raymond James Stadium. Rob Hoggins (Executive Director of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission) also suggested the WWE universe to be nimble and ready to battle the coronavirus. To which, Stephanie McMahon assured that the WWE officials are working on proper measures to battle Coronavirus.

However, there are rumours that WWE might cancel WrestleMania 36 due to the breakout of coronavirus in Florida. Needless to say, WWE fans will be left heart-broken if it happens for real. But, nothing has been confirmed yet and WrestleMania 36 still prevails on the card for April 5, 2020.
