4 ECW originals who are officially confirmed for NXT's 2300 Arena Show 

NXT will travel to Philadelphia on Wednesday, November 6 for the 2300 Arena show, which will take place in ECW's original home. Quite a few ECW originals have been confirmed for the show and are expected to make their return to WWE after a long time.

With that in mind, we take a look at four ECW originals that are set to appear at the NXT 2300 Arena Show.

Dawn Marie will return to WWE for the first time in nearly 20 years. She spent five years working in ECW and SmackDown before leaving the company in 2005.

She has also worked as a commentator in ECW. During her time in the ring, she was involved in storylines with former WWE stars like Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, and Michelle McCool.

Dawn Marie was announced as the special guest referee in the Hardcore Match between Lola Vice and Jaida Parker.

#3. Francine

Another name that will be part of the 2300 Arena show of NXT will be Francine, who, like Dawn Marie, will return after several years to the Stamford-based promotion.

The 52-year-old former wrestler took to social media and announced that she will be in the 2033 Arena (formerly known as the ECW Arena) for next Wednesday's show.

Francine spent seven years with ECW almost three decades ago, staying with the company from 1994 through 2001.

#2. Bubba Ray Dudley

An iconic figure from ECW and a legendary tag team champion alongside D-Von Dudley, Bubba Ray will also show up at the 2300 Arena show.

Unlike Dawn Marie and Francine, though, he will be seen in action, as he teams up with the reigning NXT Champion Trick Williams to take on Ethan Page and Ridge Holland in a tag team match.

Bubba Ray Dudley had a verbal confrontation with Holland and Page on Tuesday, with Trick coming to his aid.

Holland called ECW overrated and trash-talked the ECW legend, saying he would dominate Bubba Ray, after which Dudley accepted the challenge, making the match official for the NXT 2300 Arena show.

The last time he showed up in WWE was back at WrestleMania 40, when he was the special guest referee for the tag team match between The Pride and The Final Testament, helping the former win.

#1. Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam made a guest appearance on NXT on Tuesday and was seen discussing with GM Ava about plans for next week's show.

However, a backstage fight between Wes Lee and Je'Von Evans seemingly gave him the perfect idea for the NXT 2300 Arena show.

"I got it. You gave me a fantastic idea. I know what I wanna do next week. I’ll see you all in Philly," he said, hinting at what he will do next week, via wrestletalk.

Thus, he is expected to be the special guest referee for the match between Wes Lee and Je'Von Evans.

That said, it will be interesting to see what plans WWE has for the 2300 Arena show and whether any more ECW legends, like Paul Heyman or D-Von Dudley, will show up in the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia.
