>WWE has confirmed WrestleMania will no longer take place in Tampa Bay this year due to the coronavirus outbreak and will instead emanate from the Performance Center in Orlando.

>The statement from WWE reads:
>“In coordination with local partners and government officials, WrestleMania and all related events in Tampa Bay will not take place. However, WrestleMania will still stream live on Sunday, April 5 at 7 pm ET on WWE Network and be available on pay-per-view. Only essential personnel will be on the closed set at WWE’s training facility in Orlando, Florida to produce WrestleMania.”

> WWE finished all its tapings through the 4/6 Raw after WrestleMania this past week, with empty arena shows taped at both the Performance Center in Orlando and Full Sail University in Winter Park. Whether coincidence or not, the tapings were already underway when the county announced a stay-at-home order going into effect at 11 p.m. on 3/26, through 4/9. The first TV show that would not be covered at this point would be either NXT on 4/8 or Smackdown on 4/10. Included in the taping was most if not all of WrestleMania, which was taped on 3/25 and 3/26 at the Performance Center. There are a few WrestleMania bouts that will be done on location, notably Undertaker vs. A.J. Styles. That will be what is billed as a boneyard match, stips not to be announced ahead of time it appears. From promos, sounds like it will be taped in a mock cemetery setting.

> At least two WWE talents were pulled from WrestleMania due to what were described as symptoms, Dana Brooke and Rey Mysterio. Brooke was supposed to be in a six-way match for the Smackdown women’s title. She arrived for the 3/20 taping at the Performance Center and after being checked medically was asked to quarantine herself. Mysterio had symptoms and stayed in California and quarantined himself. There is no indication either has the coronavirus and it was just a matter of being cautious. We’re told that as of 3/26 nobody in the company has tested positive.

> The WrestleMania card has also changed. Names are being kept confidential because so few know, but it’s been confirmed that multiple people on the card either said they were sick, which meant instantly being pulled off all shows this week, there were others who did not feel sick but had fevers above 100.4, which was the WWE’s cut-off point of not allowing people to work, and others who, on their own, said they didn’t feel comfortable flying in. Both AEW and WWE had told people that if they don’t want to come, they don’t have to come and that the decisions made now won’t be held against them when it comes to future booking. Jerry Lawler was not used due to his age, although Vince McMahon, who is four years older, was presiding over the shows.

> At this point we know of 16 scheduled matches for WrestleMania, with the elimination of both the men’s and women’s Battle Royals because that would simply be too many people together at one time. On the Raw side, the confirmed matches are Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE title, Edge vs. Randy Orton in a last man standing match, Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler for the women’s title, Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair for the NXT women’s title, Undertaker vs. Styles in a boneyard match (shot on location), Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins, The Street Profits vs. Andrade & Angel Garza for the tag titles and Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley.

> On the Smackdown side, the confirmed matches are Bill Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal title, John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt (this may be a gimmick match shot on location), Bayley vs. Lacey Evans vs. Tamina vs. Naomi vs. Sasha Banks for the women’ title, Miz & Morrison defending the tag titles against the winners of a New Day vs. Usos match that will air on Smackdown on 3/27 and Elias vs. King Corbin. There were three other scheduled matches not announced. Otis vs. Dolph Ziggler is likely to be finalized this week with some sort of stipulation involving Mandy Rose. At one point Rose was to be the referee, which explains Rose not being in the women’s title match. But that was changed weeks ago and her role is not known.

> There is to be a women’s tag title match. The plan was the Kabuki Warriors vs. Nikki Cross & Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya & Beth Phoenix, but the last word we had was that Natalya & Phoenix were not a lock and things were not finalized. Sami Zayn vs. Daniel Bryan for the IC title is likely, but the stipulations were that Drew Gulak would have to beat Shinsuke Nakamura on the 3/27 Smackdown in a singles match for Bryan to get his shot. The loss of Brooke took …
