All matches will now be moved to FullSail
With the caviat that every match is proceeded by a university lecture course taught by Kona Reeves...because he really wants something to do

I'm not surprised. These sorts of illnesses can be especially vicious on the elderly, which accounts for the majority of guys that they are counting on for the top matches.

If WWE had to cancel WM, they could probably get away with running empty studio shows instead, down at the performance centre. If it's that bad though, AEW and most other companies are probably shit out of luck unless Khan just buys a gym outright. Khan literally owns a stadium where he lives in

Since there is also talk of cancelling the Olympics too, I doubt a suitable replacement city will be found until the virus is contained. May have Wrestlemania in November at this rate.

Last time they had a WrestleMania this epic with a looming threat on the horizon, they moved it to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena...and we are approaching it's 30-year anniversary...
Roman Reigns and Bill Goldberg blindfold match confirmed!

Roman Reigns and Bill Goldberg blindfold match confirmed! Blindfold match is reserved for Cena vs. Fiend because we can't see them. Literally. With the red lighting.

Worst case scenario is that they have the show in an empty arena (insert your own attendance joke here) and beam the show via closed circuit and whatever streaming service they decide to show WM in.

Attendance will likely take a hit regardless if the show goes on.

Attendance will likely take a hit regardless if the show goes on. And I imagine that coronavirus won’t be the only factor for this, if reactions to certain matches are any indication.

Nah, I don't think it would be that big of a hit regardless. Hell, most people would just go so they can boo the wrestlers and matches they dislike.

I could see travel bans instituted from certain locations that force them to paper the show with a lot of Florida folks, but I doubt the whole thing gets canned. If they can get away with cancelling the show with the threat of COVID-19, they'll cancel rather than paper the show with locals. With all that's happening, the locals are as likely to be carrying now as anyone travelling in.

If they need a safe location to run WM without endangering the crowd or the talent too much, they could probably rent that pink ballroom the AWA had their "Team Challenge Series" in for a good price...

Ambrose return CONFIRMED! "And they thought I looked stupid wearing this. Well look whose stupid now." But seriously them doing this makes more sense cause there will be people coming from all over the world. Even from countries that have had major problems with Coronavirus all coming to one spot which would make sense for them to do this to keep others from potentially spreading it or getting it.

Hopefully it doesn't come to this but whereas other sports aren't saying it at least WWE are saying it. Several other sports are already doing it. Six Nations Rugby has already postponed one match involving Italy. Football games in Italy have been cancelled. They’re already drawing up contingency plans for the Euro 2020 tournament if needs be. The World Indoor Athletics Championships have been postponed a year.

It's pretty bad that I thought about the rammifications of cancelling WrestleMania and then have remembered that just about everything that happens at Mania anymore doesn't matter sometimes by the next night even. And looking at this card it'd be no exception.
That being said, you would hope it wouldn't have to come to that but if they have to then they have to.
