WWE continues to entertain fans despite the coronavirus pandemic and no audience members at the WWE Performance Center which is where all the shows are being filmed. And with WrestleMania 36 coming up, the show will be very different and not just because of the lack of fans and the location.

Taping for WWE’s biggest event on the year will start on Wednesday, March 25 and it will end on Thursday, March 26.
