NXT TakeOver: WarGames set for Survivor Series weekend
NXT TakeOver: WarGames is officially returning this November.
Ahead of tickets going on sale, WWE has announced that NXT’s Survivor Series weekend special in Rosemont, Illinois will be branded as TakeOver: WarGames and will feature a WarGames match. The show is taking place at the Allstate Arena on Saturday, November 23.
Tickets for TakeOver: WarGames will go on sale to the general public this Friday (May 24) at 10 a.m. Central time. The pre-sale will begin at 10 a.m. Central this Wednesday (May 22).
TakeOver: WarGames being held during Survivor Series weekend has become a tradition for NXT. The brand’s first WarGames match took place in 2017, with Undisputed Era defeating SAnitY and The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong in a three-team match. Last year’s WarGames match featured two teams, with The Viking Raiders, Ricochet & Pete Dunne defeating Undisputed Era.
NXT has two more TakeOver specials before WarGames. The Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut is hosting TakeOver XXV on June 1, while TakeOver: Toronto will be held at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 10 as part of SummerSlam weekend.
