Production

Background

The NXT TakeOver series of professional wrestling shows started on May 29, 2014, as the WWE developmental league NXT held their second ever WWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver.[2] In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by NXT and WWE for all of their NXT live specials as they held NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way, NXT TakeOver: R Evolution, NXT TakeOver: Rival, and NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable prior to NXT TakeOver: Respect.[3][4][5] NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first TakeOver show held outside of Full Sail University.[6] NXT TakeOver: London was the first TakeOver show held outside of the United States.[7] NXT TakeOver: Dallas was the ninth overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the first held in 2016.

Storylines

NXT TakeOver will consist of professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on the NXT television program prior to the TakeOver show itself. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[8][9]
