Conflicting Reports on WWE Moving Performance Center
Reports have emerged about a recent all-employee meeting at WWE Headquarters where TKO President Mark Shapiro discussed the potential relocation of the WWE Performance Center from Orlando, FL to Las Vegas, NV. However, there are conflicting reports on this topic.
– Wrestle Votes initially reported that moving the Performance Center to Las Vegas was a primary discussion point at the meeting.
– Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez later mentioned that while Las Vegas was brought up, it was unclear whether it would be in addition to the Orlando facility or a replacement for it.
– Fightful Select refuted claims of a move, stating that Shapiro discussed the idea of having a WWE presence in Vegas due to its reputation as a sports and entertainment hub. However, the specifics of this presence, its scale, and timeline are yet to be determined.
Factors to Consider

– The proximity of the Orlando facility to main roster talent and the affordability of living for trainees were cited as reasons to remain in Orlando.
– Wrestle Votes maintains their initial report about Vegas, indicating that it may not be an immediate change and could take time to materialize.
