1) Pressure On NXT To Change Takeover Schedule
According to journalist Tom Colohue, NXT is under pressure to add more Takeover events to their yearly calendar.
Here is what Colohue wrote:
According to backstage sources, this is likely to change this year under pressure from WWE management. Triple H and Vince McMahon are in constant conversation about the 2020 schedule for NXT.
The success of the NXT UK TakeOver events is said to outweigh the overall success of the NXT UK product. Each subsequent TakeOver spikes the numbers for NXT UK on the WWE Network and with the brand launching domestically in the UK it has been strongly suggested to SportsKeeda that the WWE are planning to capitalize on this with an enhanced TakeOver schedule.
Colohue also added the following:
Meanwhile, with Worlds Collide set to become a more heralded yearly event we could also see a major expansion of NXT TakeOver events. This will not just relate to the amount of events but the length of them and the amount of matches on the cards for each event.
My Take:
- As long as they don’t mess with it too much I am okay with it. Takeover specials are perfect how they are and WWE better not ruin them.
