Two WWE NXT live events have been postponed in Florida as the state continues to be ravaged by Hurricane Milton:
- The Friday, October 11, NXT live event at the St. Petersburg Armory has been rescheduled to Friday, December 20 at the same venue.
- The Saturday, October 12, NXT live event has been moved to Saturday, November 2.
All tickets that were already purchased for this weekend’s shows will be honored on the rescheduled dates.
Wrestling with the Weather
These moved NXT live events are the latest wrestling shows to be impacted by ongoing harsh weather battering the United States. Last month, TNA Wrestling was forced to postpone a set of tapings from the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The company's 'Road to BFG' tapings instead took place in Nashville, with proceeds going to the Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts in Spartanburg. MLW was forced to cancel its October 4, event due to Hurricane Helene, with ticket holders receiving full and immediate refunds.
The stars of professional wrestling are doing what they can to help those affected by the weather. A GoFundMe set up by Cash Wheeler has reached over $69,000 in donations with huge amounts given by Tony Khan, Chris Jericho, Bayley, Orange Cassidy, and others. On Busted Open Radio, Adam Copeland shared that Tony Khan has been aiding the Asheville Police Department by sending Starlinks to help in the rescue of those in need.
The recent Hurricanes in Florida have sadly cost lives and devastated countless individuals. While fans would love to see the NXT roster in action this week, ultimately, the safety of the roster and the fans come before anything else.
