FREE POST: Update on WWE Performance Center (Patreon)

WWE says they're not moving the Performance Center.

Reports emerged on August 27, claiming that the WWE Performance Center would be moved to Las Vegas from Orlando. WWE sources that Fightful Select spoke to that afternoon claim that is false.

The original report cited Mark Shapiro as announcing that during a meeting, which one WWE source reached out quickly to say didn't happen unless there was another meeting held. Additional sources within WWE say that Mark Shapiro did not make an announcement indicating a move to Las Vegas for the WWE PC.

Specifically, we're told that Mark Shapiro was making a point that Las Vegas is a sports and entertainment destination and that having a WWE presence there is on the table. However, the company would need to figure out what that presence is, how much of a presence it would be, and when.

No sources at the WWE Performance Center had heard of any plans to move to Las Vegas, and were shocked when they saw word that it could happen. Many sources noted the proximity of the current PC to talent on the main roster, and their ability to easily access it. Among other things, cost of living of trainee talent was mentioned as being far more beneficial in Orlando.
