The acquisition of WWE by the Endeavor Group will not affect the company’s upcoming move into a new headquarters.
This week, it was announced that Endeavor is set to purchase WWE and merge the promotion with the UFC in a new company.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained that WWE’s plans to move from Titan Towers to a new location will not be affected by the deal. He said,
“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.
“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].”
WWE’s new corporate headquarters is located at 707 Washington Blvd in Stamford, CT.
Vince McMahon expects the deal with Endeavor to be finished within the next four-to-six months.
