Backstage Reaction to NXT’s 2300 Arena Show – This week’s WWE NXT episode brought fans a dose of nostalgia as the show took place at the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, once the legendary home of ECW. The venue set the stage for a memorable night, which featured appearances by several ECW originals, including Rhyno, Nunzio, and D-Von Dudley, each of whom played a role in paying tribute to the storied history of the arena.
In one of the night’s standout matches, NXT Champion Trick Williams teamed up with Bubba Ray Dudley to take on Ethan Page and Ridge Holland. Fans saw another nod to ECW’s hardcore legacy in a brutal match between Jaida Parker and Lola Vice, with former WWE and ECW star Dawn Marie serving as the special guest referee. Additionally, RVD made an appearance, lending his support to help Je’Von Evans score a victory over Wes Lee.
The unique atmosphere was not lost on the talent. According to PWInsider, several wrestlers expressed that they were genuinely moved by the energy in the building and hoped to see WWE NXT return to this historic venue in the future, even if just for live events. ECW’s alumni were reportedly happy to be a part of the event and were open to offering advice to NXT talent.
The night also sparked discussions among WWE talent about potentially bringing NXT to other famous wrestling venues across the country. One performer expressed interest in seeing NXT host an event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, a venue deeply associated with both wrestling and ECW’s legacy.
