The COVID-19 pandemic has caused WWE to make several changes this year, including having to switch locations for RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and even their biggest show, WrestleMania. But what about next year?
WrestleMania 37, which is scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on March 28, 2021, might have some issues as California is trying to make their own adjustments to try to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The state has placed restrictions on large gatherings, and they might not be lifted until 2021. Plus the stadium might not actually be completed by March.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE has begun researching a new location to host WrestleMania 37 just in case the location needs to be moved.
See the full tweet below:
“Full disclaimer – it’s far too early to speculate on specific details, however: WWE has begun researching a “plan B” on an alternative site to host WrestleMania 37 if the state of California is not allowing large gatherings and / or SoFi Stadium is not finished on time.”

Tampa, Florida was scheduled to host WrestleMania 36 this year, but had to be moved to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida due to the pandemic. Rumor has it that Tampa might be in the running to host WrestleMania 37 next year if WWE can’t have the show in California as planned.
