WWE is undergoing significant growth and change, marked by NXT’s upcoming move to the CW Network later this year. It has been confirmed that the show will be on the road for the first two episodes on the new network. Randy Orton has now confirmed that he will make an appearance on one of these shows.
NXT has been televised on the USA Network for a long time, but that will end in October this year, as the show will be airing regularly on the CW Network going forward. It was also reported that the show will remain on Tuesdays after moving to the CW Network.
Shawn Michaels confirmed today that WWE NXT is set to hit the road in celebration of its new home on the CW Network. The inaugural event will be held on October 1st at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. Following that, NXT will head to St. Louis for a show on October 8th.
Randy Orton took to Twitter and responded to Shawn Michaels’ announcement about WWE NXT’s road shows by expressing his enthusiasm for the St. Louis event on October 8th. He confirmed his participation and looked forward to the show, mentioning that he would be seeing everyone there.
”HBK – If you’re bringing NXT to my backyard, count me in. See you in St. Louis on October 8. #WWE #NXT”
Randy Orton is set to square off against GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Bash in Berlin this month, but there’s a lot of time until the October 8th edition of NXT. Therefore, we’ll have to wait and see what he will do on the show.
