NXT’s TakeOver events started as a way to showcase WWE's developmental talent, but have quickly become synonymous with exceedingly high quality wrestling. Furthermore, since leaving the small set of Full Sail University, the TakeOver events have consistently sold out twenty-thousand arenas due to their reputation as the best offerings produced under the WWE umbrella.

However, what ALL IN had that a TakeOver doesn’t is the feel of something truly historic and influential. While NXT's specials frequently feature the crowning of new champions and countless five-star matches, their status as a WWE subsidiary has kept them from accomplishing anything truly revolutionary. On the other hand, ALL IN's success wasn't just because of its wealth of top independent stars but was largely due to its feel of being a milestone.

With that, if there is to be any direct response to Cody and The Young Bucks' event in Chicago, NXT is more likely than the WWE’s main roster to do so. Many of NXT’s current champions and stars were just recently members of the independent scene and will likely look to top the accomplishments of ALL IN at the next TakeOver in Los Angeles.
