The next NXT Takeover event was originally scheduled for June 8th in San Jose. It looks like there could be a change coming.
On Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer explained why WWE’s upcoming Saudi Arabia event is likely going to effect Takeover: San Jose.
Here is what Meltzer had to say (h/t to Ringside News for the quotes below):
TakeOver is supposed to be June 8th, but since the Saudi show is June 7th, the San Jose TakeOver… it hasn’t been announced, but I was told today because I’ve been asking for weeks and no one’s said anything that it does not look like the San Jose TakeOver will take place on that day.”
“Now it still may be in San Jose like a week later, you know whatever it is. They’re doing tapings this Wednesday and Thursday they’re taping NXT and that will be all the stuff through the next TakeOver so they’re gonna have to know and make a decision so Wednesday or Thursday when they do TV they’ll have to announce it, but yeah I was told if they go to Saudi Arabia then they’re not gonna do it on the next day at least the way things are scheduled right now.”
We will let you know if WWE makes any official announcement on it.
