WWE has been preparing to move from Titan Towers to its new corporate headquarters located at 707 Washington Blvd in Stamford, CT, but following the news of WWE being acquired by Endeavor, there have been some questions regarding plans for the new HQ.
Once the transaction goes through, WWE will merge into a new company with the UFC. Vince McMahon will stay on as the executive chairman.
The new headquarters have been in the works for years due to it being delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest word on moving employees from Titan Towers to the new HQ was for it to happen after WrestleMania. This news was before the acquisition.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE being acquired won’t impact plans to move to a new HQ as WWE and UFC will be under one company but run separately, just like the UFC does with Dana White’s PowerSlap league.
“They’re still going to go….they’re still going to go into the new….there’ll be layoffs and stuff most likely, but they’re moving to the new place. UFC is going to stay in Vegas. There might be some layoffs there, who knows, but they’re going to stay in Vegas. WWE will be headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. That’s not changing. They’re being run as two separate companies, but they are sister companies, and there will be people who will be working on both,” Meltzer stated.
Meltzer continued, “Like when WWE had some of their attempts, whether it was running boxing or running the World Bodybuilding Federation, Vince’s side things. People in the company [WWE] were involved in the XFL. A Lot of people in WWE worked on XFL, not the second one but the first one [2001 version].”
