That’s two. WWE has several advantages over most other wrestling promotions, as the company has been around for such a long time that it has built up quite the infrastructure. This includes its own in-house developmental system in the form of NXT as well as the Performance Center. Now though, things might be changing a bit, albeit not in the way it was expected.

Earlier this week, there were conflicting reports about the future of the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. One rumor said that the facility would be moving to Las Vegas, Nevada, while another story said that while no move was coming, WWE would be doing something in Las Vegas. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, a key person in WWE is saying that while there will be a Performance Center in Las Vegas, it does not mean the end of the original version in Orlando. There is a chance that there could be two Performance Centers, though no one in Orlando is said to know what is going on at the moment.

It’s a big deal. Check out the Performance Center:

Opinion: If this is true, it certainly makes more sense. I can understand WWE wanting to expand into Las Vegas, but shutting things down in Orlando, where everyone is already set up, would feel like a big stretch. There is nothing wrong with having another option, but switching everything to another place felt like it was coming pretty far out of left field. Maybe that is what is happening, but for now, it feels a bit better.
