Excitement Within WWE NXT Over Possible Touring, Will Expansion Hurt Local Independents?

WWE reportedly has holds on potential venues for NXT live events to happen as soon as May but plans aren't 100% finalized yet as they aren't sure when they want to launch the touring. We've noted how they could be debuting at the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia this spring.
