5 Major ways COVID-19 has affected WWE

#2 Consistent venue

All of us know that the WWE is always on tour. RAW and SmackDown emanate from different states of the USA every week and sometimes even from different countries. The lives of everyone involved in the WWE team aren't easy as they are constantly living out of a suitcase and have very little time to spend with their loved ones.

When the WWE decided to conduct its shows in empty stadiums, little did it know that it would turn to the home of NXT for the coming weeks. With travel restrictions and concerns for its' employees' health, WWE has made a smart decision by telecasting its shows from one venue consistently. That venue is the Performance Center.

Now, the Performance Center in Florida will not only be the home of RAW and SmackDown but also WrestleMania. This year's WrestleMania surely is going down in the history books for many reasons. But for as long as the pandemic continues, WWE has one place it can call home and that is The Performance Center.

Kishan is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling and has been associated with the division for 8.5 years. Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.

Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.

He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.

Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
