Exclusive: Five NXT Full Sail Dates Revealed For 2018, None For Center Stage
If you're going to be in the Orlando area and want to take in some wrestling, WWE has five dates set aside to film NXT at Full Sail University in 2018.
Fightful.com reported this spring that WWE has filed a "verified complaint for injunctive relief," which was to prevent potential bootleggers from selling counterfeit WWE merchandise outside of WWE events. You can see an excerpt from Fightful's article below.
Normally a legal action around obtaining an Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order would not normally seem like exciting news. However, the interesting part comes hidden in Exhibit #3.
Just like last year, WWE has supplied a tentative list of live WWE events scheduled from April 2018 through March 2019. This year, it appears that WWE only included their U.S. events (though curiously they did leave on the September 1, 2018 show for Shanghai, China.)
This has opened up WWE's schedule for public viewing, and has uncovered some of WWE's plans.
Thursday June 21, Thursday August 23, Thursday September 20, Wednesday October 17, and Wednesday November 28 are the dates currently penciled in for NXT to film at Full Sail University. Full Sail has served as home for WWE and NXT for several years, but have sometimes had scheduling conflicts that would end up forcing WWE to other venues.
One of those other venues is Atlanta's Center Stage, which served as the home for WCW at times. However, WWE doesn't have anything on the schedule for Center Stage in the document.
