This past week, WWE announced that, instead of cancelling or postponing WrestleMania 36 in Tampa, they were moving the annual mega-event to their own Performance Center in Orlando, with no fans in the stands. Now the event has changed even more, with WWE, a few days ago, releasing the news that WrestleMania 36 will take place over two nights – on April 4 and April 5.
Per WWE, “WrestleMania, for the first time ever, will be held as a two-night event streaming on Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5 at 7 pm ET on WWE Network and available on pay-per-view. The two-night pop culture extravaganza will be hosted by three-time Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski.”
