The upcoming WWE NXT Battleground PLE is slated to have a special location at the UFC Apex, which hosts weekly UFC Fight Night events that are broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+.
The company previously announced the show for May 26th at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, GA. As expected, AEW announced this week that they would be continuing its annual tradition of hosting Double or Nothing from Las Vegas on this same date, meaning the two shows would go head-to-head. This has happened in the past, as WWE has counter-programmed AEW on various occasions.
WrestleVotes reports that they’ve heard rumblings about the show being moved to June 9th and being hosted in Las Vegas at the UFC Apex.
WWE presents the Stand & Deliver event on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Here is the current card:
WWE NXT Championship Match:
Ilja Dragunov (champion) vs. Tony D’Angelo
Singles Match:
Trick Williams vs. Carmelo Hayes
WWE NXT Women’s Championship Match:
Lyra Valkyria (champion) vs. Roxanne Perez
WWE NXT Tag Team Championship Match:
Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin (champions) vs. TBA
NXT North American Championship Match:
Oba Femi (champion) vs. Dijak vs. Josh Briggs
Hearing rumblings of a significant schedule change, I’m told the NXT Battleground event will be moving off May 26th to June 9th. With the location shifting as well as Savanna, GA will no longer host the show. NXT Battleground will take place live in Las Vegas at the UFC Apex.
