Coronavirus has wreaked havoc in the WWE but that hasn't stopped the officials from ensuring that WrestleMania 36 goes ahead according to plan.

However, Braun Strowman's recent revelation on Twitter paints a disconcerting image of what the talents are facing from a monetary standpoint.

WWE has also been working overtime to tape all the upcoming TV shows and the Superstars could be really exhausted with the entire ordeal.

WWE was also forced to change its plans for Paige on this week's SmackDown.

A popular theme song will also most likely return to TV after a very long time. There is also a big reason why Asuka was on commentary on the recent episode of RAW.

On that note, here is the latest edition of the WWE Rumor Roundup:
