20 Huge Predictions For WWE's New Paul Levesque Era
19. NXT Sells Out A Stadium
Not only was WrestleMania weekend a massive one for the WWE main roster, it was also a record-breaking one for Shawn Michaels' NXT brand, too.
The Tuesday night delight managed to put on a Stand & Deliver event - one main evented by two Black superstars for the first time in NXT history - that became the highest attended NXT show of all time as a massive 16,545 crammed themselves into the Wells Fargo Center on April 6.
That gigantic number for a developmental show PLE once felt like little more than a fantasy for the struggling brand. But in the wake of yet another well-received event, it's likely the D-Generation X pals have already begun to dream a bit bigger.
Now no one is honestly expecting this home of the stars of tomorrow to sell out a Lincoln Financial Field any time soon. A slightly smaller stadium, though? Like the ones you'd find across the pond which typically host football matches? Why not, eh?
With the right build and a few main roster talents sprinkled in, WWE could probably move a solid 30,000 for a 'Mania weekend NXT show at some point in this new era - and that would be enough to fill a number of UK stadiums, including the Swansea.com Stadium in Wales.
Stand up and deliver an NXT stadium experience, HBK.
