John Cena Hypes Upcoming WWE NXT Appearance
For the first time ever, Cena will travel to Tuesday night to support Carmelo Hayes as the former NXT Champion squares off against Bron Breakker, who will have Paul Heyman’s legal assistance.
The NXT chant was used by Cena in his social media response to Melo’s statement, and he also added that fans will be able to watch him live on October 10th.
Also announced for the show is Cody Rhodes, who has been advertised to be making a major announcement on NXT. Cena and Rhodes are just two of the main roster stars making a one-off appearance on the third brand in what could be the best-ever rating for the show. With the company looking to make the upcoming episode a success, it is expected that the show will be “heavily promoted” the previous day.
There are two theories as to why NXT has loaded up the show with big names. The first reason is that the media rights for the show are due to be renewed so the company are looking to push ratings as high as possible to secure a more lucrative deal. The second theory is that October 10th will also see AEW Dynamite broadcast that day and NXT have loaded their card to make sure viewers remain on the USA Network.
