Summary

WWE is sending more main roster star power onto the NXT live event loop this weekend.

During the May 12 episode of NXT, it was announced that WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta, Bayley, and Grayson Waller will all appear on NXT house shows across three dates this coming weekend.

The advertised stops are Friday, May 15 in Buffalo, New York, Saturday, May 16 in Canton, Ohio, and Sunday, May 17 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Where the NXT weekend stands out

Penta showing up on the loop as Intercontinental Champion gives these NXT dates a little more weight than a standard touring weekend, especially with Bayley and Waller joining him on the cards.

It also continues the recent crossover between WWE's main roster and its developmental brand at live events, and that comes after Drew McIntyre recently discussed WWE house shows in broader business terms. For NXT fans in those markets, the immediate takeaway is simple: these shows now have three recognizable main roster names attached to them.

Dates announced

  • Friday, May 15, Buffalo, New York
  • Saturday, May 16, Canton, Ohio
  • Sunday, May 17, Johnstown, Pennsylvania
