WWE Reportedly Holding Event at Former ECW Arena This November

WWE reportedly recently has booked a date for an upcoming event at the former ECW Arena this November, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his sources stated that WWE currently has a date booked for an event at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Meltzer reported that while the date has yet to be confirmed from his sources, the current belief is that this upcoming event will be taking place on Wednesday, November 6th and will be for that week’s NXT show. Meltzer reported that those spoken to stated that WWE will be holding a NXT show that week but the date has yet to be made official.

In regards to the reason why that week’s NXT show would be taking place on a Wednesday instead of their usual Tuesday night timeslot, this is due to The CW’s news coverage of the 2024 Presidential Elections that night.
