In November 2023, WWE and The CW announced a five-year agreement to bring NXT to broadcast television for the first time in its 13-year history. NXT joins a growing roster of live sports on The CW, including the NASCAR Xfinity Series, ACC football and basketball games, Pac-12 football games, Grand Slam Track and AVP beach volleyball.
Powell’s POV: The Met is an opera house that opened in 1908. It has a listed capacity of 3,500, though it’s unclear how it will be configured for pro wrestling. AEW will hold its Philadelphia residency at 2300 Arena on August 27 through September 11.
