Augusta, Georgia will experience the thrill of professional wrestling when WWE NXT makes its live debut in the city on Sunday, September 7, 2025. The event will take place at the Bell Auditorium and is part of a mini-tour that highlights NXT’s growing presence beyond its typical Orlando, Florida programming.
The live event in Augusta follows two other shows scheduled as part of this tour, starting with a performance at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on September 5, and continued by a stop at the North Charleston Convention Center in North Charleston on September 6. This mini-tour is notable as it marks WWE’s first return to both Spartanburg and North Charleston since 2019, underscoring the organization’s efforts to expand its geographical reach and engage fans in the region.
The NXT Champion, Oba Femi, known as “The Ruler of NXT,” recently retained his title at NXT Heatwave against Je’Von Evans. Femi, who was born in Nigeria, is relatively new to the wrestling scene but has quickly established himself as a formidable competitor. Before becoming a wrestler, he achieved notable success as a shot putter, winning championships while attending the University of Alabama.
Despite retaining his championship title, the identity of Femi’s next challenger remains a mystery, heightening intrigue for the upcoming events. Femi’s presence is expected to attract significant attention, as he is one of the standout stars in NXT today.
In addition to Femi, the live events will showcase other key wrestlers from the NXT roster. Fans can look forward to appearances by NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane, North American Champion Ethan Page, and Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca. The events will also feature TNA World Champion Trick Williams, adding to the excitement of the three-day wrestling showcase.
Tickets for the mini-tour went on sale to the general public on August 6, 2025. A presale opportunity was also made available, allowing fans to secure their spots before the general release. Given NXT’s rising popularity and the unique opportunity to see top-tier wrestling live in Augusta, tickets are expected to sell quickly.
The decision to bring NXT to areas like Augusta, Spartanburg, and North Charleston reflects WWE’s strategic aim to engage fans in various locales. With a strong lineup of wrestlers and a growing fanbase, NXT is expanding its live event offerings into new territories, fostering a deeper connection with audiences across the United States.
This live debut in Augusta is more than just a wrestling event; it represents a milestone for the local wrestling community, promising a night filled with adrenaline, competition, and entertainment, and sets the stage for future engagements in the region. As the date approaches, anticipation for what promises to be an exhilarating evening continues to build.
