During Sunday’s NXT Halloween Havoc, General Manager Ava announced that ECW original Dawn Marie will be part of the special Wednesday, November 6 episode of NXT, which will air live on the CW from 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Marie will be the special guest special referee for the Hardcore Match between Jaida Parker and Lola Vice. This will Marie’s first appearance in WWE since 2005. Her time in WWE was between 2002 and 2005.
The reason NXT will air on Wednesday night that week is because WWE does not want to go up against election night coverage with NXT. Instead, NXT will go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite.
Marie was released from her WWE contract on July 6, 2005, after her status in the company had changed to maternity leave, as she announced that she was pregnant.
