WWE has an issue with the crowds at the NXT shows, apparently.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the crowds at the NXT shows are “down” and they have been unhappy with the crowd reactions.
Meltzer wrote that WWE sent a notice to all of the talent and crew that they should “strongly encourage their friends and family in the central Florida area to attend NXT tomorrow evening at the Performance Center to help bring energy to the crowd in the final shows leading up to Stand & Deliver.”
NXT tapings are free but to get in you have to sign up on a list. Meltzer noted that the notice sent out was for the shows taped on 3/21, which is also the go-home taping because they also taped the show for 3/28.
The crowd fatigue may be seen as another sign that they need to get out on the road for some TV tapings. However, the reason why they tape at the PC is because it’s cost effective.
