Triple H: WrestleMania 36 will be 'different, but still a spectacle'

WrestleMania will look a lot different this year due to the global coronavirus pandemic, but Paul "Triple H" Levesque promises the big event will still be entertaining.

The WWE's executive vice president of talent, live events, and creative spoke to TV Guide's Keisha Hatchett about the impact of the pandemic on WrestleMania 36, which will take place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no fans in attendance on Saturday and Sunday.

"We don't have a stadium with a much longer ramp way, and the pyro and everything else that we would have. So, we'd have to work within certain parameters of changing what the spectacle is, but still trying to keep this as entertaining and as fresh as possible for fans," Levesque said. "We're going to do the best that we can, and I promise you we'll be entertaining and it will be a spectacle in and of itself. Different, but still a spectacle."

Levesque said it's been impressive to see how well WWE stars are adapting to performing without a crowd.

"It's a unique environment and I think that's been an adaptation for the talent that they've had to really get used to," he said. "They're used to feeding off of that energy of the fans, that adrenaline rush of 80,000 people. They need that electricity and that connection with (the fans). If their performance is going a certain way and the crowd is reacting differently than they expected them to, we shift the performance and interact with those fans. This is different.

"But I can tell you that it's been amazing to watch, and I've been incredibly impressed by our ability to adapt to that and put on incredible performances even without that fan participation, that they've still been able to put on incredible performances. It's been awe-inspiring."

WrestleMania 36 airs Saturday and Sunday at 7:00 p.m. ET both days.
