Will John Cena Defend On Tonight's RAW?, Big WWE NXT Crowd For WrestleMania 32 Week, Alex Riley
- As revealed in the WrestleMania 32 travel package details earlier, WWE NXT will be running that Friday in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Arena, which is the same area that Axxess will be held. The Arena features 7,400 seats in the low and balcony levels and can hold another 1,800 seats on the floor so there should be around 9,000 fans in attendance that night. While it won't be the largest NXT crowd ever, it will be bigger than the WrestleMania 31 NXT live event that drew around 5,000 fans.
- Alex Riley returned to work at the WWE Performance Center today after having surgery back in May. He tweeted the following on his comeback:
When I'm finished, what I have done will be puzzled over & studied & followed... Forever. You will barely be able to comprehend @wwe
