WWE top brass Triple H spoke with TV Guide recently, in a bid to help promoted WrestleMania 36 this weekend.

In a wide-ranging interview, The Game discussed this year's unique event, and the implications it'll have on the company's flagship show going forwards.

According to Triple H, some of the changes made through necessity in 2020's edition could be replicated in the future - almost as if the global crisis has been exploited to prototype a major upheaval of WrestleMania's established format.

Besides the lack of fans, which is something WWE will absolutely not want to repeat, if they can help it, by far the biggest alteration is spreading the show across two nights. Triple H described this as an "opportunity" to "do things in a way that we've never done before." He went on to say that a multi-night WrestleMania is something the company would be open to again, noting "this moment in time is changing everything, and I think there are opportunities that we will see and explore now that will become the new norm."

He went on: "Whether it's multiple nights, [...] off-site shoots or different things like that, I think those will all be opportunities that we can explore in the future."

"If they're successful here, they might be successful in the future as well," he concluded.

Triple H was also asked whether the world would get back to normal after the global medical emergency. "I don't think that's going to happen," he said. "I think the world has changed. I think that it will get back to some normalcy, but the new normal will be what is normal. It's not going to be what it was before."

And as far as that affects wrestling?

"For us, in some ways, the opportunity of doing these withouts fans and doing WrestleMania with these off-site shoots will open our eyes to different ways of doing things. Maybe [it] will change the product for the better in the long run."
