This episode will be going head-to-head with AEW Dynamite. Two weeks ago, Dynamite aired on Tuesday night head-to-head with NXT and it drew one of the lowest viewership levels for Dynamite. This one-week renewal of the 2019-2020 Wednesday Night Battle will be on Dynamite&#8217;s home turf, but it appears WWE will be building up this episode as something special. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That week, the election takes place on Tuesday, so NXT was likely going to lose much of its regular viewership to election coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Since moving to The CW this month, the first two episodes of NXT took place &#8220;on the road&#8221; outside of the Performance Center homebase. This is another instance that shows NXT might be semi-regularly looking to take NXT on the road, likely to venues smaller than the major arenas that Raw and Smackdown take place in.<\/p>\n<p>The 2300 Arena was the most famous venue for the original ECW, home of some of the most raucous crowds and intense pro wrestling of that era.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets go on sale tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The following is the full press release&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote><p><strong>NXT TAKES PLACE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 AT 2300 ARENA \u2013 FORMERLY ECW ARENA \u2013 IN PHILADELPHIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Tickets On Sale Tomorrow, October 22 at 12pm ET\/9am PT Via <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2300arena.com\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.2300arena.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1729613509879000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0TgEBFAfIYvABoFl2phDHN\"><em>2300arena.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Exclusive Presale Access Begins Tomorrow at 10am ET\/7am PT<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>October 21, 2024 <\/strong>\u2013 WWE<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, part of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), today announced NXT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> will take place Wednesday, November 6 at 2300 Arena \u2013 formerly the ECW Arena \u2013 in Philadelphia.
