WWE has no fans in live attendance and has used this opportunity to tape its shows ahead of time. This is a genius move by the promotion. If the state orders a lockdown, the WWE fans will be left stranded without their weekly dose of WWE television. To counter this, WWE has pre-taped its shows so that it has content to telecast on TV.

Last week's episode of SmackDown was pre-recorded. The show was promoting the match between Goldberg and Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship even though Reigns had made it clear that he would not be participating at WrestleMania.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Not only SmackDown but also WrestleMania has been taped earlier than the scheduled dates. For this reason, spoilers are available on the internet. We hope that you don't come across these spoilers and enjoy the extravaganza that the promotion has planned for you.
