Triple H has been teasing a big announcement regarding NXT during SummerSlam weekend and boy did he deliver.
WWE’s COO revealed on Friday afternoon that NXT will not only be holding a live event in Brooklyn, New York during SummerSlam weekend, but that the event will take place from the Barclay’s Center and will be a special TakeOver event that will likely air live on the WWE Network.
NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn takes place on Saturday, August 22nd, the night before SummerSlam.
The Barclay’s Center is the largest venue to host an NXT show to date, by a long shot. It remains to be seen how many tickets are made available and how much of the venue they can fill up. This is a bold move by WWE and a wise strategic move in their quest to make NXT a viable touring brand.
