NXT presents its latest live event, Battleground 2023, on Sunday, May 28 from Lowell, Mass. Here is how you can watch the show and the full match card.
The last time that WWE’s NXT brand presented a live event was Stand and Deliver during WrestleMania 39 weekend. Over one month later, their next event will be broadcasted on Memorial Day weekend.
On Sunday, May 28, NXT presents Battleground 2023, live from Tsongas Center in Lowell, Mass. There are six matches scheduled for the card.
The main event will feature a rematch from Stand and Deliver, with Carmelo Hayes looking to retain his NXT Championship against the former titleholder Bron Breakker. Hayes won the title at Stand and Deliver, causing Breakker to take on a villainous role.
Also, a new NXT Women’s Champion will be crowned after Indi Hartwell vacated the title. Tiffany Stratton and Lyra Valkryia are the final two competitors remaining in the eight-women tournament, and will face off at Battleground for a chance to be the next titleholder.
