WWE reportedly looking to run NXT event shortly before AEW residency in the same city

Earlier this month, AEW announced a summer residency at the 2300 Arena (formerly ECW Arena) in Philadelphia in late August and early September of 2025. This week, Twitter/X account @WrestleVotes noted the following…

“We’re told WWE has an interesting location lined up for an upcoming NXT TV — Tuesday, August 19 at the 2300 Arena in Philly. That show comes just one week before AEW kicks off its 7-show residency at the same venue.”

WWE previously ran NXT television at the venue in November of 2024.
