WWE Reportedly Has Booked The Former Home Of ECW (2300 Arena) For A NXT Show 11/6/2024

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has booked the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Meltzer notes the date the venue is booked for is November 6, with the belief WWE hold an NXT show there. However, at the time of his report, nothing has been officially confirmed.

The report further indicates for first week of November, NXT is expected to air on the CW on Wednesday instead of Tuesday to avoid going up against election night coverage and will be going head-to-head with AEW Dynamite instead.

Meltzer said the following:

“WWE has a date booked for the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. While not confirmed, the belief is that it will be on 11/6, which would be the NXT TV tapings on a Wednesday, the day after the election. The fact there will be a show has been confirmed by many, just not the date. NXT will be on the unfamiliar night and I presume they’ll loaded up going head-to-head with AEW. It makes sense the idea of NXT from the ECW Arena for the first time will get enough buzz to help grow the audience in the attempt to beat AEW.“

2300 Arena is formerly known as Viking Hall. However, it was made famous and given the name of the ECW Arena when the promotion under Paul Heyman would hold its television tapings and other shows at the venue between 1993, up until the promotion was sold to WWE in 2001.

ROH, under Sinclair Broadcast Group, TNA Wrestling and MLW have all held television shows from the 2300 Arena.

Near the end of the match, Jade hit the ring to nail Giulia with a DDT on the outside while the referee was trying to convince Perez not to use the Women’s Title as a weapon on the other side of the ring.

Jade eventually rolled Giulia back into the ring, and Perez hit Pop Rocks to retain the title.

Report – WWE Show (NXT Level Up) May Be Discontinued After CW Deal Kicks In

WWE has new TV deals, with Monday Night RAW moving to Netflix in January, Friday Night SmackDown returning from FOX to the USA Network, and NXT moving from USA to the CW Network next month.

NBCU still has a streaming deal with WWE for the WWE Network to air in the United States on Peacock. As part of the new deal, the full past-season library of WWE SmackDown is available on Peacock, with new episodes becoming available 30 days after airing on the USA Network.

New episodes of WWE RAW are also accessible on Peacock 30 days after airing on the USA Network. However, Peacock will no longer have the libraries for NXT and RAW after 9/19 and 10/1, respectively.

Moreover, fans will notice countdown clocks for NXT and RAW programming on Peacock, indicating that the library will expire, but only for episodes after the mentioned dates.

WrestleVotes Radio is reporting that NXT Level Up will end soon after airing on Fridays on Peacock since February 2022.

The report states, “While we’re talking about NXT, with the WWE Hulu contract coming up next week, the NXT secondary show Level Up will be discontinued. That’s what we’re hearing. They will no longer continue filming the Level Up show that airs on Peacock, that features a lot of the younger NXT talent. And you know, it is what it is. It’s just a lot of moving parts right now, but we will say goodbye to Level Up.”

It’s uncertain whether the entire NXT library will be removed from Peacock once the CW deal takes effect.

The report adds, “It’s likely everything from NXT 2.0 up until today will disappear and move over to the CW app. With that said, we don’t know if Takeovers are included here. Again, it could be just 2.0 stuff, which would include Deadlines and No Mercy and things like that, could disappear from Peacock, but a lot of the more recent NXT stuff will be gone off of the WWE Network/Peacock….it just comes down to the rights of that now that CW is in charge of having the NXT rights. I think that because they were formally in the hands of Peacock and USA Network. How those agreements all are written is definitely playing into why those past episodes will no longer be available moving forward.”

In addition to potentially discontinuing NXT Level Up, WWE will expand SmackDown to three hours starting January 2025.
