The news was confirmed in the following statement shortly before Monday Night RAW, which also took place at the Performance Center, went on the air.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Drew McIntyre Claymore Kicks Brock Lesnar into tomorrow: Raw, March 2, 2020\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sjZIc5aO_08?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In coordination with local partners and government officials, WrestleMania and all related events in Tampa Bay will not take place.

Only essential personnel will be on the closed set at WWE\u2019s training facility in Orlando, Florida to produce WrestleMania.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is set to defend his WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre, whereas ex-UFC bantamweight Shayna Baszler is scheduled to challenge Becky Lynch for the RAW Women&#8217;s Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Many comparisons have been drawn between the UFC and WWE over the course of the last few days, with both companies attempting to put on shows despite the odds being against them. However, despite WWE suggesting WrestleMania will still go ahead, it still appears as if there&#8217;s a chance that won&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fightoracle\/status\/1239763504061648896\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fight Oracle on Twitter<\/a> has noted that the City of Orlando could still decide to shut down the event if things continue to escalate, but if that happens, WWE would likely still receive a payout from their insurance providers as they&#8217;ve been seen to do everything they can to mitigate damages by moving the venue.<\/p>\n<p>While the report also suggests that they could be aiming to re-locate it to Madison Square Garden in early June, that still appears to be quite a quick turnaround.<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 3\/16\/2020.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE has announced that they will be moving WrestleMania 36 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa to their Performance Center in Orlando, with the event being set to go on behind closed doors.
