The 2024 NXT Battleground is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It will be the second annual Battleground held for the promotion's developmental brand NXT, and the seventh Battleground overall. The event will take place on May 26, 2024, at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia and will air via WWE's livestreaming platforms.

Production

Background

Battleground was an annual July pay-per-view (PPV) event established by WWE in 2013, although the original event was held in October.[1] Battleground continued until its final event in July 2017, which was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown brand division, following the reintroduction of the brand extension in July 2016 where WWE split the roster between the Raw and SmackDown brands where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform.[2] A Raw-exclusive Battleground was expected to be held in 2018, but it was taken off of WWE's PPV lineup as following WrestleMania 34 that year, WWE discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs, resulting in the promotion reducing the yearly amount of PPVs produced.[3] However, in 2023, WWE revived the event for its developmental brand, NXT.[4] On January 26, 2024, WWE announced a second NXT Battleground, scheduled for May 26, 2024, at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia.[5]

Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.[6][7]
