WrestleMania is 3 weeks away, officials have decided that they do not want to cancel the event as of now. WWE and local officials met today in Tampa to discuss the status of WrestleMania 36 and the coronavirus pandemic.

“Right now, WrestleMania is out about three weeks,” The Hillsborough Commissioner Les Miller said at a press conference. “We came to the conclusion that at this point, we don’t want to pull that plug. However we wanted to give it at least a week to see what was going to happen, if WWE was going to do anything at all. If they don’t, at that point, I will suggest that we do come together for an emergency meeting to discuss what we do at that particular point in time.”

County Attorney Paul Johnston said that any executive order that they issue is for seven days, so they would have to re-issue it twice to postpone or cancel the event. “Any emergency order that this Board institutes only has a life of seven days, so we’re going to have to extend it at least two more times between now and WrestleMania so you have time to consider it,” he said.

WWE and local officials will reunite again as we get closer to April 5.
