- Mojo Rawley took to Twitter last night and commented on tonight's special SmackDown on FOX episode, which will air live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL, instead of Detroit, due to the coronavirus pandemic. There will be no regular crowd at tonight's show.
"No Live Audience. Can't wait to see this. This will be different," Mojo wrote in response to WWE's announcement on the show.
Xavier Woods, who is currently on the shelf with an Achilles injury, also had fans talking with an interesting tweet on WWE changes due to the COVID-19 outbreak yesterday. Woods' tweet was made before the WrestleMania 36 status update was issued, and before SmackDown was confirmed for the WWE Performance Center.
Woods wrote, "So like is mania happening? Matter fact, is smackdown happening tomorrow? Y'all usually know before me..."
