[Report] WWE Has Discussed Pushing Back The Date For WrestleMania 37
WrestleMania 37 is currently scheduled to take place on March 28, 2021.
WWE has yet to announce the change of location, but it's widely believed that they'll relocate the event to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. The initial plan was to hold the event at SoFi Stadium - home of the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams - in Inglewood, California.
The location may not be the only significant change for WrestleMania 37. According to WrestleVotes, there have been talks about moving back the WrestleMania date to Apr. 11 or possibly Apr. 18.
WrestleVotes noted that WWE still has "the goal" of having fans present for WrestleMania. That could be the key factor in a possible decision to move back the date for the Show of Shows.
WrestleMania 36 was initially scheduled to take place at Raymond James Stadium, but WWE had to relocate it to the Performance Center in Orlando (with no fans in attendance) due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
WWE hasn't had any fans at their shows in over seven months now, although the ThunderDome concept (which began on Aug. 17) has been widely successful thus far.

It was noted last month that under Florida's Phase 3 reopening plan, Vince McMahon may be allowed to have some fans in attendance for WrestleMania.
For what it's worth, WrestleVotes also reported last week that "WWE is working on something different for the Royal Rumble." A date and location hasn't been announced for, but WrestleVotes noted that WWE is hoping to have fans for that show as well.
Wait-And-See Mode
During the pandemic, it's impossible to plan things long in advance. WrestleMania is more than four months away, so who knows if it'll be safe to have fans by then? Again, WWE still hasn't announced the relocation to Tampa Bay for WrestleMania 37, and there's obviously plenty of stuff they must sort through. It's simply wait-and-see mode as the company tries to maneuver their way through these many bumps in the road.
