This week’s episode of WWE NXT brought nostalgia for many fans as it was held at the old home of ECW at the 2300 Arena, where several ECW originals appeared, including Rhyno, Nunzio, and D-Von Dudley.
NXT Champion Trick Williams teamed up with Bubba Ray Dudley in a tag team match against Ethan Page and Ridge Holland. Also, in a hardcore match between Jaida Parker and Lola Vice, Dawn Marie was the special guest referee while RVD helped Je’Von Evans go over Wes Lee.
PWInsider.com reports that the talent they spoke with was blown away by the atmosphere at the event and hoped the company would return at some point, even if it was just for live events. They were told the ECW Originals were happy to advise anyone who asked.
The hope among talent is that they will do similar shoots and tapings in other cities as they did for this show by going to iconic locations in the city. One star stated they would like to see an NXT show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in the future.
