Last year, NXT had an event during Wrestlemania weekend, but it wasn’t televised. Due to the success of NXT in 2015, WWE feels that a Takeover special during Wrestlemania weekend is earned.
NXT TakeOver Dallas will take place on April 1st, 2016 only two days before Wrestlemania 32. As of this writing, no matches have been announced.
WWE.com has posted the following statement for the event:
Just two days before WWE invades AT&T Stadium for The Show of Shows, WrestleMania 32, the WWE Universe will get to see the Superstars of Tomorrow on their biggest stage: NXT TakeOver!
WWE COO Triple H announced on Twitter that the next edition of the highly acclaimed series of WWE Network live specials is coming to Dallas on Friday, April 1, 2016, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas.
