WWE appears to have avoided a major issue ahead of this week’s NXT broadcast after earlier travel problems raised concerns about the show.

The March 17, 2026 episode of WWE NXT is set to air live from the 713 Music Hall in Houston, Texas as the company continues building toward NXT Stand & Deliver. Earlier in the day, there were serious concerns after multiple talents were reportedly stuck in Orlando due to a ground stoppage caused by severe weather in the Southeast.

Storms and tornado conditions led to widespread flight delays and cancellations, creating uncertainty about whether the NXT roster and production crew would be able to make it to Texas in time for the live show. That situation now appears to be resolved.

According to PWInsider, nearly everyone expected for the broadcast has made it to Houston despite the travel complications. While the journey was described as extremely difficult, the roster and staff ultimately arrived in time for the show.

“In asking around, we are told that just about everyone one would expect to be in town for the taping are indeed in Houston. We are told it was an extremely rough travel day, but the crew made it to Texas.”

The update comes after earlier reports noted that talent had been stuck at the Orlando airport for hours, leaving WWE monitoring the situation closely as the clock ticked down toward the live broadcast.

With the travel issues now behind them, WWE can move forward with its planned show in Houston without needing major last-minute changes.
