Unusual match for Randy Orton announced

Randy Orton competed in his first WWE NXT match since 2013

On Tuesday, the SmackDown superstar himself announced that he would even have a match at the show.

Orton’s opponent is a spectacular young talent: Je’Von Evans, known for his wild flying moves. However, the 20-year-old should be wary of an RKO out of nowhere.

Fun fact: For Randy Orton, this will be the first second NXT match of his career. The 44-year-old last competed for the third WWE brand on February 21, 2013, and won against Damien Sandow.

Ticket sales in St. Louis did not satisfy WWE officials

NXT recently suffered a setback for the St. Louis event. The show was moved from the large Enterprise Center to a much smaller location (“The District” in Chesterfield, a city in the greater St. Louis area). The reason: low ticket sales! At least the hall in Chesterfield (which has space for around 3,000 people) is expected to be sold out on October 8th.

In addition to the Orton-Evans match, Grayson Waller and Austin Theory will challenge reigning NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer & Axiom that evening.

Rapper Sexyy Red is the guest star.

Before that, however, WWE is already planning a big program for the NXT show on October 1st. You can find out more in the NXT report, which you can find here:
