NXT: TakeOver To Make Canada Debut Over WWE Survivor Series 2016 Weekend
Canada lands their first TakeOver.
For the first time ever, NXT TakeOver will be broadcast from Canada on Saturday, Nov. 19.
Just like we saw WWE go all-in on SummerSlam at the Barclay Centers in New York by airing TakeOver, SummerSlam and Raw all in the same building in three consecutive nights, the Air Canada Centre in Toronto will be hosting three events in three nights over Survivor Series Weekend.
Right now, NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, Tag Team Champions The Revival and Women's Champion Asuka are the only ones advertised for TakeOver. But with the show more than two months away, that's certainly no guarantee they'll be holding onto their titles at that time.
Also of note is that this is the first Survivor Series in Canada since Montreal in 1997. You have to think there will be some sort of reference to that infamous night. It will also be interesting to see if WWE will be able to resist the urge to do a screwjob finish in one of the matches.
Survivor Series is one of the pay-per-views where both Raw and SmackDown talent will both be featured on, so that should make the show a little more intriguing than in past years.
Tickets for NXT TakeOver go on Sale Friday, Sept. 23 at 10 a.m. ET.
