WWE NXT is seeking to hold a TV taping for New York City this March, PWInsider.com has learned.
We are told the proposed date is Tuesday 3/11 at The Theater in Madison Square Garden. That would be the day after Raw in MSG itself.
Over the years, the Theater in MSG (formerly The Paramount Theater) has hosted pro wrestling from time to time, including a NXT live event in 2016 and as well as two Lucha Libre AAA events, several WCW house shows and even a GLOW event in the '80s.
In its days known as The Felt Forum, the venue would routinely broadcast WWF house shows that were sold out in the Garden via closed circuit on the theater's big screen. There has been tons of combat sports hosted in the venue as well, including boxing, MMA and even sumo wrestling.
If the date goes forward, it would be the first-ever WWE broadcast from The Theater in MSG.
More as we confirm. As previously noted here on PWInsider.com, there's also been talk of NXT taping in Nashville as well.
