One of the highlights of this week’s WWE NXT episode was its ECW-themed presentation from Philadelphia’s iconic 2300 Arena. WWE tapped into nostalgia by featuring legendary ECW names, including Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Rob Van Dam, and Rhyno. This nostalgic element may have played a role in boosting NXT’s viewership figures.
The episode featured an exciting matchup of Bubba Ray Dudley and Trick Williams against Ridge Holland and Ethan Page, adding to the night’s appeal. Other returning stars included Nunzio and Dawn Marie, which likely attracted fans of wrestling history to tune in.
