The Mall of America will host another “Nitro” 27 years after the premiere episode of WCW Nitro emanated from the famous location in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Arik Cannon has announced that F1RST Wrestling will hold “Saturday Night Nitro” at the Mall of America on September 10. As of this writing, the card for the show has not been announced. At the company’s “Wrestlepalooza XIX” event in March, Ariya Daivari faced Darius Martin, Skye Blue battled Shazza McKenzie, and Dante Martin took on Aramis and Arez.

The premiere episode of WCW Nitro aired on September 4, 1995, and it featured the classic moment of Lex Luger appearing, marking his departure from the WWE just one night after he competed at a live event for the latter promotion.
Last fall, the official Twitter account for the Mall of America expressed the location’s willingness to host an episode of AEW Dynamite.
