Folks, big news today. You’ve heard it, I’ve heard it, and believe me, it’s huge. Reports were swirling like a Las Vegas roulette wheel, saying the WWE Performance Center was packing its bags and hitting the Strip. But guess what? Just like your Uncle Louie at the slot machines, those reports came up empty!
The WWE Performance Center, that beautiful, tremendous facility in Orlando—you know, the place where future superstars are molded like fine, muscular clay—isn’t going anywhere. According to the fine folks at Fightful (great people, by the way, some of the best), the whole moving-to-Vegas thing? Fake news! That’s right, it’s staying right there in sunny Florida, where the cost of living is as pleasant as a day at Disney, and the proximity to main roster talent is as close as a gator in your backyard.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t Mark Shapiro, the big guy over at Endeavor, supposedly say something about Vegas being a fantastic sports and entertainment destination? Sure, he did. But multiple sources from WWE—let’s just call them “very powerful people”—said that’s not true. It never happened, folks. Orlando is staying put, and the Performance Center’s neon dreams will remain a fantasy for now.
But don’t worry, Vegas fans—you’re still getting your big show. WrestleMania 41 is rolling into Allegiant Stadium next year, where the lights are brighter than ever, and the stakes are higher than a high-flyer on a ladder match. Mark your calendars for April 19 and 20, 2025. It’s going to be yuge, as always!
