With the announcement of the WrestleMania travel packages came also the news that WWE will be holding an NXT live event on Friday, April 1, two days before WrestleMania. Earlier this year WWE did the same and sold out NXT in a matter of minutes with virtually zero advertising.

The Friday NXT show in Dallas will take place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Arena, located inside the Convention Center where WWE will host the multi-day Axxess fan interaction event.

The perfectly round arena is located on the Exhibit Level and features approximately 7,400 permanent tiered seats in the low and balcony levels, and can accommodate another 1,800 seats on the floor.
