Triple H explains why WWE NXT was not at Survivor Series
In his media call ahead of NXT Takeover: WarGames, Triple H revealed that COVID-19 was the main reason that WWE NXT wasn’t included to this year’s Survivor Series lineup:
He emphasized on how the pandemic is still going on and that they needed to keep the brands separately to ensure that there wasn’t an exposure. He also said that the battles between the brands had to be built and that they had to have “promotional time together”.
RAW and SmackDown have hosted their shows at the Amway Center, in what WWE have dubbed the ThunderDome, while NXT’s show have been held at the Performance Center, which is now called the Capitol Wrestling Center.
RAW and SmackDown will move to the Tropicana Field next week and will leave the Amway Center.
