WrestleMania Off-Season is here. The good news is wrestling will continue during Covid-19. KOP looks at what we can expect.

While most TV and live sports productions in America have temporarily shut down because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, two wrestling companies will continue to film. AEW stopped production a few days ago, but both WWE and Impact Wrestling will reportedly tape more TV this week.

According to reports by PW Insider and Fightful Select, WWE plans on taping the episodes of Raw, Smackdown, and NXT leading up to the May 10 Money In The Bank pay-per-view this week. Fightful says the filming will begin on April 10 and go through April 16, which PW Insider has it beginning on the eighth or the ninth. Like the pre-taped shows leading up to WrestleMania, these episodes of WWE TV will take place in the Performance Center with a closed set and no fans in attendance. WWE is reportedly changing the ropes, turnbuckles, ring canvas, etc., between every match to try and prevent the talent from contracting COVID-19.

PW Insider also reports that Impact Wrestling will tape between six and eight weeks worth of TV this week in Nashville, Tennessee. The tapings may include Impact’s next PPV, Rebellion, which was originally scheduled for April 19 in New York.

WWE And Impact Wrestling Will Reportedly Have TV Tapings This Week-Uproxx-4/7/20

KOP recaps Day 1 of WrestleMania 36: the workaround without fans. We review the first night and analyze why WWE felt the show had to go on.
When you look at the amount of sponsorships and partnerships WWE had going into Wrestlemania 36, maybe they had no choice.
Vince McMahon could lose the gate and the merchandise sales, but not the PPV money, the subscribers, nor let down their broadcast partners in their dire need of content.

Should WWE Cave and Cancel WrestleMania 36… Or Not? KOP looks into the pressure being created to cancel WrestleMania. Maybe It wouldn’t hurt?
Wrestlemania 36
WrestlingNews.co reports:

The World Health Organization has officially declared the coronavirus a worldwide pandemic.

This is obviously a huge concern for large scale events being held in cities across the country including WrestleMania 36. As of now, WWE still plans on running WrestleMania and surrounding events as scheduled but many wrestlers in the company are openly talking about the very real possibility that all WrestleMania weekend events will be postponed.

In regards to WrestleMania plans, WWE issued the following statement:

“The health and safety of our fans, performers and employees are our top priorities and we are monitoring the situation closely with our partners and government officials in Tampa Bay. We remain committed to hosting WrestleMania at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, April 5, and like many other entertainment properties in the U.S., there are currently no plans to cancel or postpone our upcoming events.”

Officials from the city of Tampa will be meeting to discuss the possibility of canceling or postponing large events. The mayor said earlier today that WWE will have a chance to weigh in but ultimately, the city will make the final decision.

KOP discusses the ramifications and why WrestleMania could serve to be canceled for different reason aside of the pandemic.
