Description
Available in:
WWE Performance Center is a group of professional wrestling schools owned by WWE. They serve as a training and tryout facility for WWE talent, and also contain sports science and medical facilities. WWE currently operates two Performance Center locations, with the first opened in Orlando, Florida on July 11, 2013, replacing the training facility of WWE's former developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). A second branch opened on January 11, 2019, in Enfield, London.
The Performance Center in Orlando temporarily became the home arena for WWE's Raw and SmackDown brands in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with its television programs Monday Night Raw, Friday Night Smackdown, 205 Live, and Main Event, as well as WWE pay-per-view events (including WrestleMania 36) being recorded in a studio at the Performance Center with no audience. In August 2020, WWE moved Raw and SmackDown's closed productions to an arena setting dubbed the "ThunderDome"—which used a larger-scale production more in line with its touring shows, but with a virtual audience.
NXT and 205 Live subsequently moved to the Performance Center in October 2020, with NXT moving from its former home at Full Sail University, and its main studio being reconfigured as the "Capitol Wrestling Center" (CWC) to suit the look and feel of NXT programming. Unlike Raw and SmackDown's tenure at the Performance Center, NXT's move was permanent, and most of its remaining COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in June 2021. The CWC naming was dropped in September 2021 as part of a larger relaunch of NXT, which saw a second reconfiguration of the arena.
