WWE might be bringing its NXT brand to a legendary pro wrestling venue next month. According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has booked a date at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, famously known as the former ECW Arena.
While the date has not been officially confirmed, there’s speculation that NXT will take place there on Wednesday, November 6. This shift is likely to occur as NXT is expected to air on Wednesday instead of its usual Tuesday slot to avoid competing with election night coverage. This means that NXT will go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite that week.

This anticipated event at the former ECW Arena is poised to be a notable milestone for NXT, given the venue's storied history in professional wrestling.
