TAMPA, FL – WWN, Inc. (WWN) is proud and excited to announce that the 2020 WWNLive Experience will be held at The Bryan Glazer Family JCC, which in on the historic site of the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory in Tampa, Florida. It will take place April 2nd-4th, 2020.

“Tampa Bay has been our home since WWN first started in 2001.” said WWN President Sal Hamaoui. “When we first heard that Wrestlemania might be coming to Tampa in 2020, we knew exactly where we needed to hold our events.
