    I'm very interested in seeing if WWE is going to block out half the arena to keep the small and dark atmosphere of an NXT show or if they are going to try and run the show like they would a RAW or SmackDown episode. My guess is they would really like to know if the NXT guys could sell out a stadium or at least fill it up for future tour revenue reasons. Yet, I don't want them to rock the boat and hurt it either by trying it too soon.

      I would imagine it would be fairly easy to initially set up the arena for a half capacity and then measure demand based on ticket sales. Possibly extend by groups of rows at a time until capacity is hit or interests starts to decline. I'm intrigued to see whether they try and mimic the NXT atmosphere or go 'balls to the wall' and see how big they can make the show.

      They have a captive audience with the PPV the next night, I can't see why a lot of people wouldn't take the opportunity to go out and see the up and coming stars in the WWE. It's going to be an interesting night!

    This show is making me regret that I already bought tickets to Summerslam and can't afford to do both

    I would love to go to this show and do have tickets for Summer Slam. But I just picked up tickets for a Ring of Honor show that will feature a couple of New Japan wrestlers. It will be Shinsuke Nakamura, Kazuchika Okada and The Time Splitters. Whichever event you go to I'm sure it will be an awesome weekend.

      On one hand NXT is an incredible show. On the other, you'll eventually see a good amount of the current NXT brand on the main roster and will have few opportunities to see NJPW wrestlers locally.

      I'd have to follow your lead and head to ROH. That should be a special show and a hot crowd!
