Since 2015, NXT Takeover: Brooklyn has been one of the best WWE shows of the year. The Takeover: Brooklyn specials have produced memorable battles such as Bayley defeating Sasha Banks for the NXT Women’s Championship (2015), The Revival vs. DIY (2016) and many more. History will be made once again in August when NXT Takeover invades Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for the third consecutive year.
Based on the latest round of NXT TV tapings (Spoiler Results) and the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, expect to see the following matches at Takeover: Brooklyn III:
- NXT Champion Bobby Roode vs. Drew McIntyre
- NXT Women’s Champion Asuka vs. Ember Moon
- NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain vs. Sanity
- Hideo Itami vs. Kassius Ohno
It also looks like they’re building towards No Way Jose vs. Andrade Cien Almas.
