NXT TakeOver: WarGames in November will be the fifth Takeover special of the year that WWE has run. That doesn’t include NXT UK, which has also run two of its own Takeover specials in 2019.
Triple H was recently interviewed by Newsweek. During the interview, he was asked if NXT moving over to the USA Network will lead to them running more Takeover specials per year.
Triple H teased that NXT (USA) will be moving up to 6 Takeover specials per year. Here is what he said:
I think you’ll see some changes there, but the other thing I don’t want to do, also, is flood the fanbase or overexpose the brand either. I want things to build organically and we have had success. We have the formula, the pacing, the timing and when the Takeovers take place that allows us to have more opportunities for a slower build. And when Takeover is done, we get a little bit of relief to promote the next thing. It allows you more chance to build and create epic stuff. To me that is the goal. I don’t see it changing dramatically.
This past year we had five Takeovers with the brand here and two in the U.K. I think you might see that go up to six in the U.S. and we’ll continue to monitor the U.K. to see what we can add there.
How would you feel about 6 Takeover specials per year? Let me know in the comment section below.
