WWE is taking NXT on the road for a special live event and Philly is getting the spotlight.
The company announced that a special edition of NXT is officially set for Tuesday, August 19 at The Met Philadelphia. The episode will air live at 8 PM ET on The CW, marking another major moment for WWEs third brand under its new broadcast deal.
Tickets for the event go on sale this Wednesday, July 9 at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT through Ticketmaster. But those looking to lock in seats early can jump on the exclusive presale by using the code NXTLIVE starting Tuesday, July 8 at 10 AM ET/7 AM PT, running through 11:59 PM ET that same day.
This announcement comes nearly two years after WWE and The CW revealed a five-year agreement in November 2023 to bring NXT to broadcast television for the first time in the brands 13-year history. NXT now shares space on The CW with live sports like the NASCAR Xfinity Series, ACC and Pac-12 football, basketball games, Grand Slam Track, and AVP beach volleyball.
Philadelphia has hosted its fair share of wild wrestling moments over the years and with NXTs stars looking to prove themselves on the big stage, this special edition promises more of the same.
