WWE has talked about moving the date of WrestleMania 37
Earlier this year, WWE confirmed that WrestleMania 37 would take place on March 28, 2021 from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Since that time, a lot has happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been reported that WWE plans to move the show from the west coast to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The reason for that is to have fans in attendance for the show as that won’t be possible in California.
WrestleVotes sent out a report today noting that WWE has talked about moving the date of the show to April 11th or April 18th.
“There has been internal discussions about moving the scheduled date of WrestleMania from 3/28 to 4/11 or even 4/18. The goal remains to have fans in attendance for the event. The thought process of moving back the show a few weeks only helps that out.”

Jon Alba gave an interesting take about this report:
One important thing to note about this timeline, though it is a bit early:
Dr. Fauci recently said he believes a vaccine could be widely available by April. Should that be the case, that could be a major influence. #WWE https://t.co/z2FV9hdZHg

WWE was supposed to hold WrestleMania 36 from Tampa, but that of course was nixed due to the pandemic. With moving the show to Tampa next year, not only would it allow WWE to have fans in attendance, but also be a make-good for the cancellation of WrestleMania 36 in the city.
