WrestleMania 36
2020 WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming event
WrestleMania 36 was a 2020 two-part professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown, and NXT brand divisions. It was the 36th annual WrestleMania and was the first major professional wrestling event to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that began in mid-March. As a result of the pandemic, the event was filmed on March 25 and 26, 2020, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no audience and was the first WrestleMania broadcast as a two-night event, airing on Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5, 2020. National Football League (NFL) player Rob Gronkowski served as the host of the event.

Why this record matters
“WrestleMania 36” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, WrestleMania, pay-per-view and livestreaming provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The first chronological checks are 2020.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
