WWE has officially unveiled a trio of NXT live events coming this September, marking a notable return to South Carolina and Georgia after several years. From September 5 to 7, 2025, fans will get to experience top-tier NXT action in Spartanburg, North Charleston, and Augusta, featuring marquee talents such as NXT Champion Oba Femi, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane, North American Champion Ethan Page, and notably, TNA World Champion Trick Williams will make a special appearance, adding a unique cross-promotional edge to the shows[1][2][3].

This announcement from WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, highlights three events in the Southeast U.S., underscoring WWE’s commitment to expanding NXT’s live presence beyond its usual Florida base. Tickets for the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium (September 5), North Charleston Convention Center (September 6), and Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Georgia (September 7) will go on sale publicly on Wednesday, August 6 at 10 a.m. ET, with an exclusive presale available earlier through Ticketmaster[1][3].

The September tour marks WWE’s first return to North Charleston and Spartanburg since 2019, a highly anticipated revisit for fans in these long-awaiting markets[1][4]. According to sources close to WWE, the inclusion of Trick Williams, currently holding the prestigious TNA World Championship title, is strategic. A WWE insider revealed, “Bringing in Trick Williams for these live NXT events not only energizes the crowd but also signals WWE’s willingness to embrace talent from various wrestling backgrounds, capitalizing on his rising popularity in the indie and TNA wrestling scenes”[2].

The line-up for these special NXT live shows is stacked with current champions showcasing the best of NXT’s competitive roster. Alongside Oba Femi and Jacy Jane, fans will witness the prowess of Ethan Page and Sol Ruca, the reigning North American Champions for men’s and women’s divisions respectively[1][2]. The blend of championship talent and the cross-brand appearance of Trick Williams promises intense matchups and exciting storylines to unfold live.

These dates come as part of an increasingly packed 2025 schedule for WWE’s NXT brand, which also includes major upcoming premium live events such as NXT Heatwave on August 24 at Lowell Memorial Auditorium, and the anticipated NXT No Mercy and Halloween Havoc specials set for September and October, respectively (venues TBA)[2]. The September live event tour will build momentum ahead of these large-scale shows.

Wrestling fans should note the strategic choice of venues: the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium and North Charleston Convention Center represent significant regional hubs reintroduced to WWE’s touring circuits after a six-year hiatus, while Bell Auditorium in Augusta has been a favored stop for wrestling events historically, promising excellent crowd engagement[1][4]. This regional focus highlights WWE’s efforts to broaden NXT’s footprint in the Southeast U.S., known for its rich wrestling fanbase.

Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com, with the presale window available from August 5 at 10 a.m. ET until midnight the same day. The general sale opens August 6 at 10 a.m. ET, giving fans ample opportunity to secure their seats for this exciting September slate of events[1][3].

In summary, WWE’s September NXT live events represent a dynamic blend of championship wrestling and special guest appearances, with Trick Williams standing out as a headline attraction. These shows promise to deliver high-energy live wrestling action, mark WWE’s return to key Southeastern venues, and further enhance NXT’s growing reputation as a premier destination for wrestling fans nationwide.

For ongoing updates, official ticket links, and live results, fans should monitor WWE.com and trusted wrestling news outlets such as Fightful and Wrestling Headlines.

WWE and AEW Revive Classic Wrestling Tradition Through Strategic Counter-Programming on September 20, 2025

The ongoing competition between WWE and AEW has renewed one of professional wrestling’s oldest but most contentious traditions: counter-programming. On September 20, 2025, both major promotions made headlines by simultaneously running their premium live events (PLEs), locking horns in a direct battle for viewers and fans, reminiscent of wrestling’s historic rivalries.

On this date, AEW hosted its marquee annual pay-per-view, All Out, while WWE countered by launching its first-ever Wrestlepalooza PLE on ESPN, marking a notable shift in WWE’s strategy. Traditionally, WWE’s counter-programming efforts targeted AEW’s NXT brand events, but Wrestlepalooza represented the first time WWE’s main roster went head-to-head against an AEW main event PPV on the same day and time frame[1][3][4].
