WWE NXT and Full Sail University have a great relationship, as WWE NXT was filmed at Full Sail for many years. The students at the University benefited from this as they got to work with the NXT technical team, with many of them working for NXT. But the pandemic forced WWE to shift NXT from Full Sail to the Performance Center.

Ever since that move, WWE NXT shows were taped from the WWE Performance Center. As per recent reports, WWE will continue their taping at WWE Performance Center, which may be sad news for Full Sail University.

The report further suggests that WWE has invested in the Performance Center so that the arena can give a breath of fresh air to the fans for the NXT Takeover 37. WWE deciding to invest in the Performance Center may have been the primary reason for not going back to Full Sail for tapings.

Moreover, the Covid-19 issue has restricted WWE from working in a constrained environment. The same goes with the University as Full Sail is slowly opening the college for its students, and now would not be the best time to have WWE on campus. Given this development, fans are excited to see what changes WWE brings to their Performance Center, as there is a lot of hype surrounding it.
