The event was originally scheduled to take place solely on April 5, 2020, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida and was to air live. In mid-March, all WWE programming was relocated to the WWE Performance Center training facility in Orlando due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with no audience and only essential staff present. The majority of WrestleMania's matches were pre-recorded at the Performance Center between March 25 and 26. Taking advantage of the format, two matches — a "Boneyard match" and a "Firefly Fun House match" — were filmed off-site in atypical, cinematic style.
