The gamesmanship between WWE and AEW as it pertains to live events appears to be continuing with a key location in the middle.

The WrestleVotes account reported earlier today that WWE is set to bring their NXT show back to 2300 Arena in Philadelphia for the episode dated August 19. The interesting detail is not necessarily the location but the date as it would be one week before AEW settles in at the famous wrestling arena for a two-plus week residency that will run from August 27 through September 11.

AEW’s residency will see the company run seven shows from the location: three episodes of Dynamite, three episodes of Collision as well as Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor.

While WWE hasn’t announced the event, if it materializes, it would represent the latest scheduling conflict between the two promotions with WWE the initiator. WWE recently announced that they will hold three shows on July 12-13, which is the same weekend that AEW runs All In: Texas. WWE NXT’s Great American Bash will actually run head-to-head against All In.

This past weekend, AEW ran Double or Nothing and WWE ran NXT Battleground directly against it and if you go back to 2024, WWE also chose to run a live event on the same day and city as an AEW PPV. AEW President Tony Khan was asked about WWE picking dates and locations against his shows and only commented that it’s been happening regularly and most consistently since Jim Crockett Promotions but that AEW’s future will not follow the same path.

We’re told WWE has an interesting location lined up for an upcoming NXT TV — Tuesday, August 19 at the 2300 Arena in Philly. That show comes just one week before AEW kicks off its 7-show residency at the same venue.
