Impact Zone
sound stage in Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, Florida
The Impact Zone is the nickname for any one of three sound stages at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando; they received this nickname due to their use by the professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), who taped their weekly television series Impact! at the complex for much of its first two decades of existence.
Universal Studios Florida's soundstages have been used to produce professional wrestling since the 1990s, when the International Wrestling Federation used Soundstage 23 for television tapings in the early 1990s and World Championship Wrestling (WCW) which used Soundstage 21 to tape their syndicated wrestling shows between 1996 and 1998. The most prolific use of the soundstages were between 2004 and 2018, where TNA used Soundstage 21 to tape Impact! and many of their pay-per-view events, before moving to the smaller Soundstage 19 after its 2013 tour; Impact! is now taped in various venues around North America.
In 2021, the site served as the main studio for tapings of the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) online series Dark. In 2023, AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) also began taping its weekly program at the venue. Following the 2023 launch of AEW's second live show, Collision, Dark was cancelled and Ring of Honor tapings were paired with Collision dates across North America.
In 2025, the first rounds of the Professional Fighters League (PFL) World Tournament were held at Soundstage 19.

“Impact Zone” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Impact, Zone and sound provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2564594. Authority coordinates are 28.475, -81.469. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 1998, 2004 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
