- WWE has notified Bright House Network that they've decided to end their association and are shutting down Florida Championship Wrestling effective immediately. The promotion's programming continues through the next three weeks that have already taped and then will be over.
Everyone involved with the company is being moved to the promotion's home base in Stamford, Connecticut for the time being while a decision about the company's developmental program is made. WWE employees are under the impression that a developmental promotion will end up opening in Connecticut, as well as a possible second promotion elsewhere.
FCW has been the promotion's sole developmental territory since the company ended their affiliation with Ohio Valley Wrestling. FCW began specifically as a developmental promotion for WWE in 2007 after they ended their relationship with the Georgia-based Deep South Wrestling in early 2007.
