New CDC Recommendation Makes WrestleMania Seem Highly Unlikely

That doesn’t sound great. WrestleMania is coming up but at the same time, the show is looking less and less likely. The Coronavirus has wrecked havoc on the world, including on sporting events. That very well may cause WWE to be forced to cancel the event, even if they certainly do not want to. While WWE is fighting to keep the show going, there might be a new development slowing them down.

One of the biggest things holding the entire situation back is the idea of having so many fans in a single place. A lot of locations have banned mass gatherings, including some with as low as 250 people. That can cause a problem as far as bringing in fans, but with WWE holding their events in empty arenas, it can be done. However, things may be about to get more complicated.

According to CNBC.com, the Center For Disease Control has recommended a cancellation of events with fifty or more people for a period of eight weeks. This would include anything from concerts to sporting events to family gatherings like weddings. The recommendation has no legal standing, but several local governments have followed the Center’s recommendations so far.

We might be coming up on a lack of weddings. Check out some of WWE’s best instead:

Opinion: I’m not sure what this means, but WWE could be in some trouble as a result. Maybe they can continue with the television shows in the Performance Center, but the idea of any city being willing to host WrestleMania sounds almost impossible to believe. The show needs to be dropped already, as it just isn’t happening at this point. I know WWE doesn’t want to admit it, but it seems to be over.
