CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – F&M Bank Arena was crowded with fans Sunday for the first-ever NXT premium live event in Tennessee. This event marked the 12th Vengeance event held by the WWE, which started in 2001. The sold-out arena offered the first 200 guests an access pass to a meet and greet with the NXT talent.

WWE NXT partnered with 5 Star Media Group and YAIPak Outreach to host a donation drive to support tornado relief efforts for those affected by the December tornado. The drive collected kitchen utensils, children’s clothing, children’s athletic shoes, and towels. Z97.5 FM hosted a live remote broadcast from 3 to 6 p.m. to support the effort. All ticketed guests who donated were entered to win a seat upgrade to sit in “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels’ personal ringside seats for the night.

NXT Vengeance Day at F&M Bank Arena featured wrestlers such as NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov, NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria, Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, Bron Breakker and more. NXT Vengeance Day at F&M Bank Arena was live streamed on Peacock and the WWE Network.
