WWE and the local government in Orlando, Florida have begun negotiations to extend WWE’s stay at the Amway Center in downtown Orlando.
The current agreement expires at the end of next month and while WWE continues to explore other options, they’re hoping to secure the Thunderdome at Amway Center until the end of the year if needed.
What’s complicated negotiations is that the NBA hasn’t decided yet when the 2020-2021 season will begin. It may end up taking place entirely in 2021 and if that’s the case, WWE would have the option of staying at Amway Center until the end of the year like they want.
But there’s also been discussion that the next NBA season could begin in early December.
The NBA is expected to make a decision by the end of this month, so WWE is in a bit of a holding pattern while planning the future for their broadcasts.
WWE continues to look at other venues, but the rent in Orlando has been so inexpensive that they’ve been unable to find any better options.
