Bengaluru, March 25: WWE was forced to make many changes in order to host WrestleMania 36, which is set to take place at the Performance Center with zero audience in a pre-recorded format amid Coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this week, a couple of big title matches on the show of shows card also had to be changed as two WWE superstars were forced into self-quarantine.
As noted through the reports of Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE Superstars Dana Brooke and Rey Mysterio are currently in quarantine due to the coronavirus outbreak. This forced the WWE to make changes to the SmackDown Women’s Title, United States Title and Raw tag team titles match.
Rey won a non-title match via clean pinfall, on last week's RAW to set up the predicted contest, but the Master of 619 has now been pulled from WrestleMania 36 as he is in quarantine for 14 days due to concerns over the COVID-19 outbreak.
In his absence, WWE was forced to announce a new lineup on Monday Night Raw. Now US Champ Andrade will team up with Angel Garza to challenge RAW Tag Team Champions The Street Profits at WrestleMania 36, with the tag team titles on the line.
The champs, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were involved in a feud against the AOP which was supposed to culminate a highly physical contest at WrestleMania, but it has been nixed, due to current circumstances.
