Paul “Triple H” Levesque has had a busy week, popping up everywhere from The Pat McAfee Show to Tony Hinchcliffe’s Kill Tony taping, all while overseeing WWE’s huge crossover weekend in Las Vegas. Between WrestleMania 43 being announced for Saudi Arabia, the blockbuster WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event, and the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight tied to TKO’s Saudi partners, The Game has been at the center of it all.
During his Vegas trip, Triple H joined Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson on their Nightcap podcast, where the conversation turned to WWE’s future and the development of the next generation of stars. That’s when the Chief Content Officer revealed some major news — WWE is currently building a new Performance Center in Orlando.
The existing facility, which first opened in 2013, has been the hub of WWE’s developmental system and home to NXT. Over the years it’s gone through upgrades as the brand evolved, and it’s also been central to WWE’s plans for a global talent pipeline, bolstered recently by the AAA acquisition, partnerships with TNA and Evolve, and the NIL/ID programs.
With WWE now part of TKO, there’s been speculation about relocating more operations to Las Vegas and possibly tying into UFC’s Apex facility. But according to Triple H, that’s not the case for developmental — Orlando will remain the home base.
“It’s in Orlando,” Triple H confirmed. “We’re in the process of building a new one now in Orlando — it’ll be even bigger and better.”
While no additional details were given, the comment signals that WWE is making a serious investment in its talent system. Given how much WWE has emphasized international expansion and cross-promotion lately, fans can expect the upgraded Performance Center to play a key role in shaping the company’s future stars.
