WWE has its eyes set on returning to Tampa, Florida, not just for the highly-awaited Saturday Night’s Main Event special on NBC, but also to stage an NXT pay-per-view, post the main event.
Under an ongoing agreement with NBCU, WWE hosts four Saturday Night’s Main Event specials each year.
WrestleVotes is circulating news that the forthcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event is planned for May 24 and that the NXT Battleground will reign the stage, the succeeding night.
The report elucidates, “The other nugget that we’ve learned over the course of the week for you guys is we are told through sources that the location for next Saturday night’s Main Event has been confirmed, with the selection being Tampa, Florida, and the Amelie Arena, with the date of that show being May 24. In addition, we can break the news that the night following Saturday Night’s Main Event on Sunday, May 25, NXT will present the Battleground PLE also from Tampa, Florida, with rumors that Monday Night Raw on the 26th will take place in Tampa as well.”
