In October, WWE NXT will move to The CW, ending a five-year tenure on the USA Network. WWE has been stacking the card for the first two weeks of WWE NXT in its new era, but one of these shows has now undergone a significant change.
The second episode of WWE NXT on The CW was scheduled to take place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on October 8, but that show has since been moved. WWE has confirmed that the event will now take place at The Factory at The District in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Fans who had already purchased tickets for the St. Louis event can seek refunds or exchanges. Tickets for the relocated event in Chesterfield will go on sale on September 18th at 12 PM CT via Ticketmaster.
For concerts and basketball, the Enterprise Center can hold 22,000 fans, while The Factory at The District has a capacity of 3,000 fans. Though WWE has not confirmed a reason for the move, the promotion will have an easier time filling the much smaller venue where the October 8, edition of WWE NXT will now take place.
WWE NXT – October 8
Wherever the show takes place, the October 8, edition of WWE NXT will be an exciting two hours for fans. When the show had been announced for St. Louis, it was announced that Randy Orton would be appearing in front of his hometown crowd.
The October 8, episode will also deal with the fallout from the previous week’s premiere episode of WWE NXT on The CW. That show will see the NXT and NXT Women’s Titles on the line, as well as an appearance by CM Punk in Chicago, Illinois. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on WWE NXT and its move to The CW.
