WrestleMania 36 to become a two-night event
For the first time ever, WrestleMania will be split into two nights.
The WWE made the announcement today via social media. “WWE WrestleMania 36 is now set for a historic two-night presentation on WWE Network with former New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski -Gronk hosting The Show of Shows at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5,” they said in a statement.
This follows their major decision to move WrestleMania 36 to the Performance Center. The event was originally schedule to take part at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, but the coronavirus forced them to change plans.
