For years, the home of NXT has been Full Sail University. They have had a near constant presence there, having also run the Cruiserweight Classic and Mae Young Classic in the same arena. Despite this, there has been times when NXT has aired from elsewhere. With rumors of Full Sail being pre-booked for a week in the future, NXT will need a new home to air their show from. Thankfully, there is another venue nearby with a history for wrestling. This is over at Universal Studios, and is best known as The Impact Zone.
Universal Studios Was Home To Impact Wrestling For Years
Until Impact Wrestling made a move up towards Canada, and now does tapings in cities around the world, they were settled in at Universal Studios. With admission being included with a ticket to the surrounded theme park, you got plenty of wrestling fans, but also a lot of people escaping the Florida heat for a bit and catching some wrestling alongside some air conditioning.
NXT is a bigger deal than Impact Wrestling was in their time at the venue, and we could expect a packed house for any event they would run there. It would give a nice change of scenery for NXT, as while the Full Sail crowd is always rowdy, the venue has lost it’s luster and NXT feels small compared to AEW with it.
Would NXT Bring In Some Former Impact Wrestling Stars?
With most of the iconic stars from the past of Impact Wrestling being now in WWE, it could be a fun nod to the past to have someone like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Eric Young or EC3 make an appearance for NXT on that night. All those men have pasts in NXT in some form, with Joe & Roode being former NXT Champions who lost their winning ways after hitting RAW & Smackdown. They could arguably run a better Impact Wrestling reunion show than the one Impact is planning for Wrestlemania weekend.
Would you want to see NXT start to run out of venues that aren’t Full Sail University soon? Would removing NXT from Full Sail kill some of the magic that the brand has built up? Let us know what you have to say in the comment section down below.
