The city of Tampa, FL – the site of WrestleMania next month – will be meeting on Thursday “to discuss canceling or postponing ‘major’ events due to coronavirus,” CBS Tampa’s Ryan Bass reported.
.@CityofTampa and @JaneCastor will meet on Thursday to discuss canceling or postponing "major" events due to #Coronavirus. This weekend's River O'Green fest isn't likely to be canceled.

Obviously that could include WrestleMania, which is scheduled to take place at the 65,000+ seat Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on April 5.
If the city decides to cancel events and large gatherings, WWE would be forced to comply. No word on what a potential backup plan for WWE could be.
There are currently 23 reported cases of the coronavirus in Florida.
Even if Tampa doesn’t decide to cancel shows on Thursday, there’s still the possibility that things could be much worse by next month.
