Iconic ECW Arena to Host Upcoming Episode of WWE NXT

WWE is growing at a solid rate, especially thanks NXT’s move to the CW Network earlier this month. Three shows have already concluded under the CW Network banner and it appears WWE is planning yet another special episode of NXT on the road for an upcoming show.

The debut episode of NXT on the CW Network took place on October 1st at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois and it was an epic start to the new era of NXT. WWE followed it up with the October 8th show, at the Factory in St. Louis, Missouri and it featured Randy Orton competing against Je’Von Evans in a solid match and Stephanie Vaquer’s debut. Naturally, fans wondered whether NXT would be on the road again soon.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE has booked the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, although the exact date hasn’t been confirmed. It’s believed the show will take place on November 6th, which would be an NXT TV taping on a Wednesday, the day after the election.

While the date isn’t officially confirmed, many have verified that the show will happen. NXT will air on a night it’s not usually scheduled, likely going head-to-head with AEW. Hosting NXT at the famous ECW Arena for the first time is expected to create buzz and help boost the show’s audience as they compete with AEW.

We will have to wait and see whether NXT making its return at the famous ECW Arena will prove to be beneficial for the show next month, as AEW will likely try to combat this move by booking a loaded show as well.
