ECW made its presence felt in a huge way on the latest episode of WWE NXT.
Looking to maximise the rating given the change in day due to the ongoing election coverage, NXT took over the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia to present a special episode of the show paying homage to the legendary extreme brand. While multiple alumni from ECW were advertised ahead of time, many expected some surprises to take place on the night and were not disappointed when all was said and done.
Advertised ahead of time were appearances from RVD and Francine while Bubba Ray Dudley and Dawn Marie factored into matches. Additionally, a few familiar faces made their presence felt…
