The last time it rained at a WrestleMania was in 2017 when the PPV emanated from Orlando, Florida. Being a state popular for its tropical weather, Florida isn’t unprepared for sudden downpours. However, the weather seems to have improved from what fans at the stadium have posted on Twitter.
With the Kickoff Show underway, there’s probably time for the skies to clear before Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley enter the battleground for their match. By the time the main event arrives, the weather will clear up.
The severe weather has passed and fans are being allowed back into the stadium.

It would be a real downer if Mother Nature ruined the first WWE PPV to have fans in attendance since the pandemic struck. WWE has compromised on the number of spectators, with only a third of the maximum capacity allowed.
Night 1 match card
The opening match of Night 1 will be the blockbuster WWE Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley. Following McIntyre vs Lashley will be difficult, but Bad Bunny, Damian Priest, The Miz, and John Morrison will try their best to keep up.
