#1. Hope isn't true: Unrest in the locker room after the WrestleMania announcement
WWE's decision to host WrestleMania 36 in the Performance Center (and an undisclosed venue for the second day) is one that's a result of Vince McMahon simply wanting to get the whole show over with.
While it's not the same issue as Crown Jewel in 2018, it's a tricky one for WWE as they faced tremendous pressure to cancel WrestleMania 36 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Tom Colohue reported that the entire WrestleMania announcement was like a 'bolt out of the blue' for WWE employees, with certain superstars upset by the decision:
According to backstage sources, the news that WrestleMania would be taking place on site in an empty arena was "a bolt out of the blue". There was apparently a lot of frenzied discussions, disagreements and unrest backstage after the news initially broke. Certain superstars are said to be upset at the decision.
Further, he said that Vince McMahon and his team were determined to go through with WrestleMania at the expected date.
Over the last few days I have been told by a number of different sources that the WWE, including Vince McMahon and the wrestling team in particular, were determined to put on a show on the date of WrestleMania however they were able to do so.
We hope the part about the backstage reaction isn't true, but it's only expected and understandable as well. It's just a frustrating situation for everyone. However, we do hope that the show goes on - and it happens without any leak of the results.
