WrestleVotes is reporting on Twitter that WWE is set to leave The Amway Center by December 1 and is currently looking for new arenas in Texas, North Carolina, and Illinois.
"ThunderDome update: source states WWE is set to leave the Amway Center by the 1st of December. Arenas in North Carolina, Texas & Illinois were discussed over the weekend. WWE needs to find a spot where NO team plays + able to house the weight & power requirements of the setup.
A newer arena is preferred as the weight of the ThunderDome won’t work with older buildings. Also, a major travel hub is needed as talent will be flying in and out each week. Not the easiest combination of things to find."

The contract itself has not changed between #WWE and Amway Center. With the #NBA looking to start its season in December, and the #ECHL's Orlando Solar Bears beginning play as well on approximately Dec. 11, this appears to be the end of ThunderDome's run in Orlando.
