The upcoming WWE NXT One Night Only Return to Full Sail University has sold out rapidly, highlighting strong fan enthusiasm for the brand’s return to its original venue. Scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, the event will take place at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida, drawing loyal supporters eager to experience the unique atmosphere once again.
Event Details Highlight Intimate Venue and Fan Connection
The live broadcast is set for the cozy Full Sail Live arena, where ticket prices ranged between $52.75 and $78.50. This sell-out demonstrates the deep connection between NXT and its dedicated fanbase, many of whom remember the brand’s celebrated black-and-gold era filmed at Full Sail University. The venue’s smaller size offers an up-close experience that has long been cherished by attendees.
Full Day of Activities for Students and Recognition of Contributors
Beyond the televised show, Full Sail students will have the opportunity to attend guest lectures and presentations led by NXT superstars and WWE production staff. Alumni and students who have contributed to NXT’s production over the years will also be honored during the event. WWE is additionally expected to announce a special scholarship, enhancing the significance of this celebration.
Historical Importance of Full Sail in NXT’s Development
NXT started taping at Full Sail University in May 2012, making the site synonymous with the brand’s growth and early success. The intimate size fostered high energy from fans that helped boost what many regard as NXT’s golden era. Besides NXT, Full Sail also hosted a season of Tough Enough and provided valuable hands-on live television experience to students throughout the years.
Significance of the One-Night Return and Future Broadcast Plans
Although WWE last produced shows at Full Sail in late 2020 before relocating operations to the WWE Performance Center due to the pandemic, this one-night event represents a meaningful return to NXT’s roots. The show will be aired live on The CW Network in the United States and streamed internationally on Netflix. WWE plans to reveal the complete match card for the September 16 episode during next week’s NXT broadcast, adding anticipation among fans and participants alike.
