WrestleMania 36 leaks: Can WWE prevent spoilers?

Over the years, fans have claimed that WrestleMania matches have become predictable, and most of the twists and turns the company plans are already leaked by wrestling publications. While WWE has still managed to pull off some great moments at WrestleMania, this year things could be different as the company is forced to pre-record most of its matches. Last-minute changes to its matches are off the table and hence shooting multiple endings might just be the best way to keep spoilers at bay. 

According to WhatCulture, WWE has experience with multiple endings as they did the same for the NXT North American Championship match between Velveteen Dream and Johnny Gargano in January 2019. It helped the company keep the result a secret until finally airing the show.
