WWE moves WrestleMania to Orlando, bars fans from attending
WWE's WrestleMania will no longer take place in Tampa Bay, Florida, the organization announced Monday. Instead, the event will be streamed live from WWE's training facility in Orlando and will be open to essential personnel only.
Fans will have the option to order the April 5 event on pay-per-view or watch it on the WWE Network.
WWE joins a wide range of organizations that have opted to hold events without fans in attendance amid the coronavirus pandemic. The sports entertainment company also announced it will move its weekly "SmackDown" and "RAW" shows to the training facility in Orlando, according to Yahoo News' Nellie Andreeva.
WrestleMania, which is WWE's biggest show of the year, was supposed to take place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa with over 70,000 fans in attendance.
