WWE are set to leave their offices in Titan Towers in 2021, after spending nearly 36 years in the building. The company are moving their offices to much larger office complex nearby that can more easily house the employees.

With WWE finally set to leave Titan Towers, we decided to take a look at WWE HQ in Stamford, CT and take a look at some things fans may not know about the offices.

A lot of WWE fans would love the chance to go down to Stamford, CT and check out WWE Headquarters before WWE move to a new building in 2021. Unfortunately, a tour of WWE Headquarters is almost impossible.

Security at WWE headquarters are really strict and only Superstars and staff are allowed in. The only way to get in, if you aren't on the staff or a Superstar, is to have a prior business appointment. WWE don't even have any regular tours for fans either that could let you have an inside look at the home of WWE. The company did once hold a charity raffle with the winner getting a special guided tour of the building.


#7 It houses a massive gym which also doubles as a gym on Pokemon Go!

It's not a big surprise that WWE Headquarters house a massive gym inside. Both Vince McMahon and Triple H are obsessed with working out and it helps that the gym at WWE HQ is open to all employees and Superstars 24 hours a day. The gym also houses the latest training equipment.

Another interesting fact about the gym at WWE HQ is the fact that it was also a designated gym on Pokemon Go! Vince McMahon himself revealed this on Twitter, tweeting out a photo of a Ghastly inside the WWE HQ gym. Check out Vince's Tweet below:

Ever wonder what happens to the props WWE have used on their shows throughout the years? Well, they're all stored in a massive storage facility at WWE HQ called the WWE Warehouse. From title belts no longer in use, rings and even the classic SmackDown Fist, the Warehouse is home to it all. A section of the Warehouse is also home to the caskets used for The Undertaker's classic matches against the likes of Shawn Michaels and Kane.

WWE have the have an extensive tape library containing their own shows, both televised and live events which weren't broadcast, as well as the tapes for promotions like WCW, WCCW, and ECW. The tape library is so massive that it isn't housed inside WWE HQ itself but at a separate building nearby. A large part of WWE's tape library is now available for fans to watch on the WWE Network.

Triple H has become an integral part of WWE's management over the last few years. Since taking charge behind the scenes, The Game has instituted a number of changes backstage including a focus on home-grown talent in the Performance Center.

When the WWE Performance Center opened in 2013, Triple H made sure that a live feed of the PC was broadcast directly to his office in Stamford, CT. We got a brief glimpse of The Game's office during the WWE Network Special on the Ultimate Warrior including a shot of his television playing the feed from the PC.

At the time the first WrestleMania came around in March 1985, WWE were still operating out of the old offices in the Cape Cod Coliseum. The building used to host concerts and sports events when Vince McMahon bought it in 1979 and continued to do so until McMahon sold it in 1984.

WWF moved out of their offices there two months after the first WrestleMania in May 1985, moving into Titan Towers which is still their home.

#2 WWE used to shoot footage there

Back in the day, the studio inside Titan Towers was used to shoot footage for a number of WWE shows like Livewire. Apart from the studio shows, older fans might remember that the roof of Titan Towers was used in one of the RAW intro videos during the New Generation era. WWE went all the way with the video, setting up a ring on the roof of Titan Towers with fans and Superstars also present.

As the CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon has a sprawling office inside Titan Towers. This probably isn't surprising to fans. But what will be surprising is the fact that Vince McMahon has the fossil of a T-Rex skull inside his office.

The T-Rex fossil – named Stan T.Rex - was a gift from his son-in-law Triple H. The Game got the idea while filming The Chaperone in 2011. Triple H loved the fossils used during the museum scene in the movie and bought one for Vince. Vince McMahon says that the fossil on his wall represents his “appetite for life”.
