WWE NXT TakeOver The End: 5 Near-Guarantees & 5 Possible Surprises

10. Near-Guarantee: This Is Not 'The End' Of NXT

We could just drop the 'near' part from this title because this is a stone cold guarantee. Let's take a moment to clear something up before we get going: this TakeOver special does not signify the end of NXT.

Fans of the WWE developmental product were sent into a panic when Triple H announced that TakeOver would be titled The End. As wrestling fans often do, many jumped to the conclusion that NXT would be coming to a close because of the brand extension. Of course, Ticketmaster pulling tickets from its website for the scheduled TakeOver: Brooklyn show for SummerSlam weekend didn't help either.

In case you missed it, that rumour has been expelled by various media platforms - but mostly WhatCulture because we do stuff better than everyone else - and the SummerSlam TakeOver is still set in stone. it's difficult to even understand how fans thought NXT may be finishing even with the above reasons considering its popularity, success, and effectiveness as a developmental product.

'The End' is a simple reference to the conclusion of Samoa Joe's battles with Finn Bálor, or perhaps something a little bigger. Don't worry, we'll get to that.
