WWE issued the following on Thursday:
NXT® Battleground Set for Lowell, Massachusetts on May 28
STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WWE® (NYSE: WWE) today announced that NXT Battleground will take place live at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass. on Sunday, May 28. Tickets for the premium live event go on sale Saturday, April 1 at 10 a.m. ET via http://www.tsongascenter.com/.
This marks the first time that an NXT premium live event has taken place in Massachusetts and the second time since February 2020 that a stand-alone NXT premium live event has taken place outside of the state of Florida. NXT Vengeance Day emanated from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte this past February.
NXT Battleground will feature the biggest Superstars from NXT in action, including NXT Champion Bron Breakker, North American Champion Wes Lee, NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez, Carmelo Hayes, Tiffany Stratton and more.
“We look forward to returning NXT to the road and delivering an incredible night of action to the passionate fans of Massachusetts and those watching at home,” said WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels.
NXT Battleground will stream live exclusively on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else. Additional information on the event will be announced in the coming weeks.
NXT Battleground will be held the same day as AEW’s Double or Ning live on Bleacher Report and Traditional PPV, which takes place from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
WWE recently filed to trademark the Battleground name for an NXT premium live event, which was used as a WWE pay-per-view name between 2013 and 2017.
