WWE OFFICIALS ON WHETHER THE CORONAVIRUS COULD IMPACT WRESTLEMANIA 36 WEEK

By Mike Johnson on 2020-02-28 11:17:00

The Tampa Bay Times featured a piece on Wrestlemania 36 coming up locally, including concerns over the coronavirus impacting Wrestlemania 36 weekend.

“The health and safety of not only our fan base, but also our superstars, really does come first,” Stephanie McMahon commented. “We don’t want to put anyone in a bad situation ever, regardless of the circumstance. Those are not risks worth taking.”

“Given the number of live events that (WWE) does, it’s constantly monitoring global events,” said John Saboor, WWE’s executive vice president of special events. “There are active and ongoing discussions at play internally, like there are in any sector of American business, and certainly families as a whole. So I think those will continue.”

Rob Higgins, executive director of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, noted they are gathering information so they can be prepared as possible with Stephanie noting, "“And if necessary, enact those measures."
