WWE has officially announced a trio of NXT live events hitting the Southeast this September, marking the brand’s first return to Spartanburg and North Charleston, South Carolina since 2019. Scheduled from September 5 to 7, these shows promise fans an action-packed weekend with some of NXT’s biggest stars, including NXT Champion Oba Femi, Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, North American Champion Ethan Page, Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca, and TNA World Champion Trick Williams appearing live in the ring[1][2][3].

The three-event tour kicks off on Friday, September 5, at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The following evening, Saturday, September 6, NXT will land at the North Charleston Convention Center in North Charleston, South Carolina, before wrapping up on Sunday, September 7, at Augusta, Georgia’s Bell Auditorium. These venues reflect WWE’s intent to revisit passionate wrestling markets in the Southeast that have not hosted WWE NXT live events for over six years, sparking excitement among local fans and regional wrestling communities[1][3].

Tickets for all three events will go on sale to the general public starting Wednesday, August 6 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.com. Additionally, an exclusive presale window is open starting August 5 at 10 a.m. ET and runs through 11:59 p.m. ET the same day, offering fans an early opportunity to lock in seats[1][2][3]. According to WWE.com’s official announcement, this presale strategy indicates WWE’s confidence in strong demand for these live shows.

Featuring WWE’s current NXT champions and top-tier talent, the live events are expected to showcase high-stakes matches and character-driven storytelling that NXT has become known for in recent years. Trick Williams, who holds the TNA World Championship and has rapidly gained popularity with fans and insiders alike, is confirmed to appear at the tour, indicating WWE’s intent to feature rising stars alongside established NXT champions. Sources close to WWE noted that Trick Williams will be a central figure in these events, likely to generate significant fan interaction and momentum heading toward NXT’s anticipated premium live events like NXT No Mercy planned for later in September[1][2].

Veteran wrestling journalists and podcasts have highlighted the significance of NXT returning to these Southeastern cities, pointing out that Spartanburg and North Charleston have historically hosted memorable WWE events but have been absent from the touring schedule during the pandemic and subsequent years. Fans familiar with the region’s wrestling history view this as a positive signal that WWE is expanding its live event footprint and reengaging with under-served markets, which often bring lively crowds and enthusiastic atmospheres[3].

The September NXT tour also fits strategically between major upcoming NXT specials: “NXT Heatwave” scheduled for August 24 in Lowell, Massachusetts, and the highly awaited “NXT Halloween Havoc” expected in October. Industry insiders speculate that WWE is using these Southeast live shows as a warm-up platform to test storylines, character dynamics, and crowd reactions leading into bigger televised events[2].

From a business perspective, WWE’s TKO Group Holdings has been strengthening its live event calendar to complement streaming and television viewership, recognizing the continued value of in-person wrestling experiences. According to Fightful’s analysis, live events like these help WWE boost local engagement, merchandise sales, and overall brand visibility in key regions — especially areas where WWE NXT acts as a developmental ground for future main roster stars[1].

Fans who wish to attend can visit WWE’s official site or Ticketmaster beginning August 5 for early presale tickets, with general public sales commencing on August 6. The lineups for matches and specific talent cards are expected to be finalized and announced closer to the events, ensuring surprises for attendees.

A WWE insider commented, “Bringing NXT back to these cities is part of WWE’s broader goal to reconnect with passionate fanbases in important regions. With top champions on the card and rising stars like Trick Williams, these events promise some of the best live wrestling of the year.”

As WWE ramps up toward a new broadcast season and premium live events, this Southeast NXT tour offers an unmissable opportunity for die-hard fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike to witness the evolution of the brand up close.

For ticket details and updates on NXT live events, fans should monitor WWE.com and official social media channels.
