WWE will not be coming to town Monday, the company has announced.
“Monday Night Raw” was set to take place at PPG Paints Arena and feature WWE Hall of Famers “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Edge, as well as WWE legend The Undertaker. But the show will now take place from its Performance Center in Orlando without a crowd.

“This Monday night, Raw will air live as regularly scheduled and emanate from WWE’s training facility in Orlando, Florida with only essential personnel in attendance. The event was originally scheduled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,” WWE said in a statement.
PPG Paints Arena tweeted out the same statement, confirming the relocation.
Although not specified in its statement, the relocation appears to be in relation to the coronavirus pandemic. Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto on Friday declared a state of emergency for the city and prohibited gatherings of more than 250 people.
WWE also moved its “Friday Night SmackDown” show set for Detroit tonight to the Orlando facility, as well.
