It’s truly a partnership. - Bringing WrestleMania to Tampa is a team effort, so I would like to thank Hillsborough County Commissioner Hagan and WWE for helping make this possible. - We look forward to seeing fans from all over the world converge on Tampa Bay in April 2020. - I would now like to introduce someone else that also helped make WrestleMania in Tampa possible. - He is a 14 time World Heavyweight Champion and WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative. - Please welcome Paul “Triple H” Levesque. WWE DO’S AND DON’TS  The date of WrestleMania 36 is Sunday, April 5, 2020 at Raymond James Stadium  When referring to our talent, we ask that you refer to them as WWE Superstars both for the men and women and NOT as “professional wrestlers.”  As of March 2016, our female Superstars are NO longer referred to as WWE Divas, so please call them WWE Superstars.  Please refer to our company as WWE and NOT World Wrestling Entertainment.  Please do not refer to our company as “the WWE,” but rather just “WWE.”  Please do NOT use the term “professional wrestling,” instead using WWE or Sports Entertainment to describe our brand (E.G. We have many WWE fans in the Tampa area or I have always been a fan of sports entertainment.”)  The WWE Championship or WWE Title are appropriate names for the title. It is not called a “belt” or a “strap.”  WrestleMania has a capital W and a capital M.
