If Hulk Hogan were to cup his ear to the crowd, he wouldn’t hear a thing.

For the first time ever, “WrestleMania” will be held without a live audience.

That’s right, sports arenas may be shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, but for the WWE, the show must go on in order to continue the high-flying, smack-talking, soap-opera story lines of sports entertainment.

“WrestleMania 36” was supposed to take place Sunday live on pay per view in front of 65,000 cheering fans at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. However, it has since been moved to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, to be taped, edited and shown over two nights this Saturday and Sunday.

Hosted by Rob Gronkowski, this year’s matches include Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg, Shayna Baszler vs. Becky Lynch, The Undertaker vs. A.J. Styles, and John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt.

As you gear up for wrestling’s biggest weekend, it’s time to rank the Top 10 WrestleMania matches ever.
