WWE NXT will travel to Allstate Arena in Chicago on Tuesday, October 1, for the premiere episode on the CW Network before going to St. Louis on October 8th. Fans can expect some noticeable changes to the show when they tune in as NXT begins its new chapter.
As previously reported on WrestleVotes Radio, WWE will change the logo and presentation of NXT. Speaking with the Chicago Tribune, WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels confirmed that changes are coming.
“Certainly we want to make a big splash on the CW Network. We’ll have some big changes, but I think more of that will be from a look and physical standpoint. We will still be what NXT is, which is bringing some of the most talented, young, diverse athletes in all of the nation, and developing them into the WWE superstars of tomorrow. The hunger, the passion that’s always been the core value of NXT is always going to be there. But certainly we’ll try to put on some pretty cool bells and whistles for the CW launch on Oct. 1.”
WWE confirmed today that NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez vs. Giulia will open the October 1st episode.
