WWE has officially announced the live return of NXT to California, for the first time since WrestleMania 31 weekend in San Jose. The promotion will be taking part in this year’s Monster Energy AFTERSHOCK festival in Sacramento on October 24th and 25th.
From WWE.com:
For the first time ever, AFTERSHOCK will feature live, in-ring matches with NXT Superstars and Divas like Finn Bálor, NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, NXT Tag Team Champions Blake & Murphy, Charlotte, Bayley, Baron Corbin and more, alongside a star-studded lineup of the biggest names in hard rock, alternative and metal. The festival lineup includes Slipknot, Faith No More, Deftones, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Marilyn Manson, Coheed & Cambria, Stone Temple Pilots, Breaking Benjamin, Eagles of Death Metal and many more!
As always, the card is subject to change. It’s quite possible that some of those names may not even be mainstays on the NXT roster by late October.
The first round of pre-sale tickets – limited to the first 1,000 people – will be made available at AftershockConcert.com this Wednesday at 1PM ET for only $79.50. And that’s an all-inclusive weekend pass for the entire two-day event. After that, they will begin releasing more waves of tickets at a higher rate, until the general on-sale date on June 1st, where tickets go up to $114.50 each.
