Skip to content WWE officially announced today that its NXT brand Vengeance Day show will take place this Saturday, February 15 at Washington, DC’s Entertainment & Sports Arena. The show will be the first premium live event (aka pay-per-view event) held by WWE in the DC area in nearly nine years, the last one being WWE Battleground in July 2016.
The event will feature the wrestlers of WWE’s secondary NXT brand including current NXT Champion Trick Williams and current NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez. The NXT brand is designed to showcase primarily younger WWE wrestlers being developed to become future WWE stars on the company’s main Raw & Smackdown brands.
The Entertainment & Sports Arena had not previously hosted a WWE event before now but serves as a frequent destination for AEW weekly wrestling programs including AEW’s Dynamite & Rampage just last month. The Entertainment & Sports Arena also annually hosts the NJPW Capital Collision pay-per-view wrestling event.
Vengeance Day won’t be WWE’s only event in Washington, DC that weekend with WWE Smackdown airing live from Capital One Arena on Friday, February 14. Tickets for Vengeance Day will go on sale this Friday via Ticketmaster.com with the pre-sale starting on Wednesday.
