The UFC Apex in Las Vegas, NV, witnessed its inaugural WWE event, titled NXT Battleground 2024, on Sunday night.
The highlight of the show was the bout between NXT Champion Trick Williams and Ethan Page, who made his debut in the promotion that night. Simultaneously, the co-main event saw the NXT Women’s Champion, Roxanne Perez, defending her title against TNA Knockouts Champion, Jordynne Grace.
However, a twitter post by WrestleVotes indicated that a number of NXT Superstars were dissatisfied with the available spacing around the ring at the venue during the event.
A tweet from WrestleVotes reads: “While thankfully nothing came of it, I’m told a handful of Superstars were unhappy with the floor spacing around the ring last night at the UFC Apex for Battleground. It was noticeably tighter than at standard WWE/NXT events.”
These issues notwithstanding, the event marked a significant milestone for WWE at the UFC Apex.
