New date announced for the next NXT TakeOver

May 2, 2019 by Philip Lindsey

Last night, Cathy Kelly announced that the next NXT TakeOver event is scheduled for Saturday, Jun. 1. WWE hasn’t revealed the location of the show yet, but more details will be available next week.

Previously, the company planned for the next TakeOver to take place in San Jose on Jun. 8. However, that date would conflict with the recently announced Saudi Arabia show slated for that Friday, Jun. 7. So, WWE pushed it up a week.

Here’s their official announcement:

Next NXT TakeOver announced for Saturday, June 1

The next installment of NXT’s critically acclaimed TakeOver series will take place Saturday, June 1. The event will stream live, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.

Since its inception in 2014, NXT TakeOver has etched an unbelievable legacy of incredible action, career-making performances and unforgettable moments, with each TakeOver seemingly topping the one before it.

Stay tuned to Triple H’s social media this Monday afternoon for more information on the huge event!

The location and ticketing information for the unnamed event will be disclosed on Triple H’s social media accounts this coming Monday. So far, NXT hasn’t made the card official but they’ve planted the seeds for rivalries that could come to a head in the weeks to come.

Check back with Diva Dirt for more on the next NXT TakeOver.
