NXT 2.0's reported plans to return to live events

The developmental brand underwent a revamp last year.

After two years, NXT is reportedly scheduled to resume its non-televised shows starting next month.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many businesses had to compromise with their usual setup. Among the companies that had to change their typical operations was WWE. An example of this is when they limited their in-person audience and opted to have them appear through screens in the ThunderDome.

Along with their major rebranding of NXT last year, the developmental brand has also experienced changes by halting live events and non-televised shows.

But according to Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Radio, the brand is looking to finally resume its live events after a two-year absence. Post Wrestling also reported that a schedule has already been put up for the shows starting in June. However, they will be limited to the state of Florida.

The brand last held a live-show event on March 7, 2020. It was then revamped as 2.0 in September 2021. No official confirmation regarding the live events has emerged as of this writing.
