Breaking: WWE NXT May Need To Alter TV Plans
There could be changes coming for an upcoming WWE NXT television event.
The WWE NXT brand is set to head to Houston for the March 17th episode of its weekly Tuesday night television show.
However, the Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reports that the NXT talent based out of Orlando may not be able to make it to Houston in time due to weather issues.
“NXT talent apparently stuck at the Orlando airport which is currently at a ground stoppage with flights delayed so far above four hours.
NXT is in Houston tomorrow and WWE is monitoring the situation in case they can’t get out of Orlando.”
The city of Orlando is currently dealing with severe thunderstorms that are all over the southern United States, and leading to cancellations of many flights in the area.
