WWE is reportedly scheduling an NXT episode to air directly against AEW Dynamite on November 6, the day after the U.S. election.

• The event is expected to take place at the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, formerly known as the ECW Arena.
• This move would pit NXT against AEW Dynamite’s show in Manchester, NH.

Why it matters

By the numbers

• NXT debuted on CW on October 1, 2024
• The last head-to-head clash between NXT and AEW Dynamite occurred on October 8, 2024

What they’re saying
