One of the most interesting parts of the report is when WWE lay out their plans to expand on-site production in 2018.

What does this mean? It doesn't signify WWE's hope to increase production at TV tapings or pay-per-view. Nah, Vince McMahon fancies adding to the juggernaut he's steadily been building since the '80s by either enhancing the Performance Center or adding to WWE's portfolio of offices.

$50 million to $70 million is the budget WWE have set aside to "retrofit a recently purchased facility". Behind the scenes, the organisation are quite clearly looking beyond what they already have and McMahon's interest in procuring more buildings his staff can work out of remains strong.

Expect more announcements on this in 2018. The report suggests that work was delayed on the above project until this year, so once plans have been finalised more information should be made public.
