World Wrestling Entertainment recently filed a lawsuit in California to stop unlicensed merchandise from being sold outside of its show.
This lawsuit included dates for all future NXT tapings and live specials, which you can find by clicking here.
Chris “Mookie” Harrington has revealed that WWE will be assigning letter grades (A, B+, B and C) to every city it visits, based on the drawing power from the previous visit.
Some cities appear more than once to differentiate between house shows and television tapings:
A: 70 examples (minimum: 3,500; maximum 15,913) – average: 9,235
B+: 32 examples (minimum: 3,122; maximum 14,481) – average: 7,608
B: 48 examples (minimum: 2,626; maximum 12,717) – average: 6,496
C: 61 examples (minimum: 2,230; maximum 6,996) – average 4,546
Overall Average: 7,002
