There is currently one show for WWE’s upcoming acquisition in Tampa, Florida. Originally, the company was planning to hold four consecutive events from the Yuengling Center. They were scheduled to hold the main events on Saturday night, “WWE NXT” Battlegrounds, “WWE RAW” and “NXT.”
With each Ticket Master, the “NXT” event emanating from the Yuengling Center has been cancelled, with ticket buyers imminent refunds. Additionally, the Yuengling Center website has removed the May 27th event from its event calendar. According to Wrestletix, approximately 1,700 tickets were distributed upon cancellation. For comparison, the “NXT” Battleground Premium Live event has moved over 6,000 tickets to date.
As of now, WWE has yet to name the alternative venue for airing on the CW network for next week’s “NXT” show. The WWE Performance Centre in Orlando, a regular home for “NXT”, is about a 90-minute drive from Tampa. This week’s episode of “NXT” is ongoing, with Kerani Jordan taking on Zaria, especially in singles competitions. Meanwhile, Trick Williams and Joe Hendry engage in a musical battle.
Several matches will be held at the NXT Battleground on May 25th. Elsewhere, Stephanie Verker defends the NXT Women’s Championship with Jordyn Grace, while Oba Femi puts his NXT Championship against Miles Bourne. Tony D’Angelo also faces his previous stable Channing “Stack” Lorenzo.
Update: The “NXT” commentary team has confirmed that next week’s broadcast will be coming from Orlando’s WWE Performance Center.
