WWE Turning Orlando’s Amway Center Into ‘WWE ThunderDome’ for TV Production Going Forward

WWE has made it official: This Sunday’s SummerSlam is taking place at the Amway Center in Orlando.

WWE will also take residency in the Amway Center for the foreseeable future, holding Raw, SmackDown, and pay-per-views in the building, which will be rechristened the WWE ThunderDome.

Kevin Dunn, WWE’s executive vice president of television production, confirmed the news to Sports Illustrated.

“When people think of WWE, most think of the spectacle that we are, but it was just impossible to put on a spectacle in the Performance Center,” said Dunn.
