First Takeover Event Under the WWE NXT 2.0 Revamp Reportedly Set for Next Month

[Dale]

The first WWE NXT 2.0 Takeover event is reportedly scheduled for next month.

The tentative date for the first special event under the NXT 2.0 revamp is reportedly scheduled for Sunday, December 5, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.

There is no confirmation that “Takeover” will continue to be the brand name of the NXT special events, but we hope to have an update soon.

The NXT 2.0 special event will be the only major WWE event to air on Peacock and the WWE Network in the month of December as there is currently no pay-per-view scheduled. The company will return to pay-per-view with the WWE Survivor Series on Sunday, November 21, and then again on Saturday, January 1 with WWE Day 1.

The NXT 2.0 special event appears to be a late decision as PWInsider reported that as of October 21 there were no NXT Takeover events scheduled internally for November or December.

The last NXT Takeover event was the Takeover 36 event, held on Sunday, August 22, the day after WWE SummerSlam, from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. That event was headlined by Samoa Joe defeating Karrion Kross to capture the NXT Title, plus Kyle O’Reilly defeating Adam Cole in The Undisputed Finale 2 of 3 Falls match, and Ilja Dragunov capturing the NXT UK Title from WALTER.

I would have probably waited a little longer myself but i'm sure they'll still deliver with it. I guess since it will be in the PC and they can do it super last minute, they decided to go route since there was nothing else on the calendar for December.​

good stuff, really thought these were dead lol match quality will be a far cry from old but they still have plenty of people that can go that should make it fine

Only gotta look at the very first Takeover card and to see what it grew into

I'd personally retire the TakeOver name for two reasons. I think the name should be the defining thing for that 1.0 run, and secondly, you don't really need a single name forever. Like In Your House, you should eventually phase it out and get annual events with their own names.

also it doesn't make much sense to call it takeover if you're not taking over any other arena but the pc

 

[Chris]

They'll retire TakeOver for TakeOver 2.0

 

[Comrade Khan]

They'll retire TakeOver for TakeOver 2.0

probably, yea

I get retiring the name and wouldn't be against it but I also like Takeover continuing to be their thing.
