WWE NXT is shaking things up in 2024 like a toddler with a glitter bomb! With a slew of successful Premium Live Events, fresh faces popping up like weeds in a garden, and a bromance with TNA that’s blossoming faster than a rom-com montage, the excitement levels are off the charts. But wait, there’s more! Come October, when NXT hops over to The CW, they’ll be rolling out two live episodes from Chicago and St. Louis. That’s right, folks, NXT is hitting the road again!
For years, the Tuesday night staple has been chilling at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, probably because they have a really nice snack bar there. But according to the folks at Fightful Select, the NXT roster is buzzing like bees in a soda can about this road trip. Fightful’s own Corey Brennan reports that the vibe is more positive than a motivational cat poster. Everyone’s pumped to take NXT on tour, though whether this is a long-term fling or just a couple of fun dates is still up in the air.
And it gets better! CM Punk will be dropping by on October 1 in Chicago, and Randy Orton will grace St. Louis with his presence on October 8. WWE insiders are hinting that more main roster superstars will join the fun, especially for the October 8 show, which conveniently goes head-to-head with AEW Dynamite’s “Title Tuesday.” AEW is being pre-empted by the MLB playoffs, but you didn’t hear it from me.
So, mark your calendars, folks! It’s going to be two nights of NXT madness, and who knows, you might even catch a flying elbow or a powerbomb. Stay tuned, and remember, always bring earplugs to a wrestling show – those fans can scream!
