Last week, Stephanie McMahon and other WWE higher-ups commented on the possibility of the company being forced to cancel this year’s WrestleMania due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
The company is seemingly taking the safety of its fans and performers rather seriously, with a meeting being held prior to this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw regarding the virus.
Three nights before WrestleMania 36, WWE has confirmed that The Bella Twins will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The news was confirmed on an episode of SmackDown last month.
As they will be in the Tampa Bay area, WWE originally booked Nikki and Brie for a fan signing at this year’s WrestleMania Axxess event. However, the duo have now been pulled.
The #WrestleMania #Axxess autograph session with The @BellaTwins will be rescheduled to feature another @WWE Superstar.
Details, including on-sale information, will be announced shortly.

WWE confirmed the news on Twitter today that Nikki and Brie will not be doing their scheduled autograph session during fan axxess this year. They will be replaced by another WWE star.
Coronavirus is spreading fast, with two people in Tampa Bay being confirmed to have the infection. With Nikki and Brie both pregnant, it is highly likely that they were pulled from the fan evet to limit any chance of them contracting the disease.
Speaking of WWE Hall of Famers, one of the men already inducted has revealed that Vince McMahon nearly fired him for working out and getting into ridiculous shape following an injury.
