The brand returned to live touring in the state of Florida in 2022 and Shawn Michaels previously stated that the plan was to get NXT back out on the road in 2023.
“From an NXT standpoint, getting out for our Premium Live Events. Hopefully, that means getting out for live events as well outside of Florida. Those are decisions that come from people above me. We certainly want to do it, and we’re excited to do it, but we’re going to start with Premium Live Events and see how that goes first.” Shawn said on a media call following NXT Halloween Havoc 2022.
