WWE has announced recently that WrestleMania 36 will be a two-night event for the first-time-ever. One of the venues is going to be the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida whereas other matches will be taped from multiple locations. It is likely that the gimmick matches could be taped where the risks will be minimized amid the coronavirus outbreak.

This is the precaution implemented by the company to prohibit the Coronavirus outbreak. As per, CDC recommendations, gathering of 50 or more people are not advised, at all.
So WWE had to go by the rules. Though this is not the only precaution the company is following to tackle the effects of the pandemic as the latest reports revealed that they have canceled two of the planned matches for the Show Of Shows.
Pro Wrestling Sheet has reported that WWE has now made the decision to pull off Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and Women’s Battle Royal from WrestleMania this year. As noted, this is to comply with the CDC recommendations as much as possible. It would have been the 6th and 4th edition of these battle royals, respectively.

These are not the only matches getting nixed as the rescheduling of the show has already changed storylines so to keep a minimum number of matches at the WrestleMania match card. Here’s more from the source to hint what more WWE is doing to make the process as much as safe,
“This is not the only step the company is taking and in response to a query, they had previously revealed that they have a team of physicians testing everyone entering the Performance Center.
Only the essential personnel are brought in for tapings at the Performance Center and they have also been cycling big-name talents instead of bringing them in all at once.” (courtesy sescoops.com)
The decision to split WrestleMania from multiple locations is to ensure that the promotion won’t need to bring all the stars under one roof, at the same time. However, there’s still a chance that the Orlando Government could withdraw the show at the very last moment showing preventive measures. The final call remains in their hands.
