On Thursday, Oct. 23, WWE taped the remaining episodes of “NXT” leading up to the final live NXT special on the WWE Network. In total, four episodes of “NXT” were taped, ranging from Nov. 13 to Dec. 4. During the night, the final NXT Takeover special was announced, according to PWInsider’s show-by-show results.
On Thursday, Dec. 11, WWE will air “NXT Takeover: Evolution” live on the WWE Network. Throughout the tapings on Oct. 23, four matches on the card were made official.
Below are those matches:

NXT Women’s Championship
Charlotte (c) vs. Sasha Banks

Adrian Neville (NXT Champion) vs. Sami Zayn
The Adrian Neville vs. Sami Zayn match was made on the second episode of the tapings, which will air on Nov. 20. The two highly-touted prospects were verbally clashing about their match from the previous episode, until NXT General Manager William Regal interrupted. Regal would announce that Neville would put his NXT Championship on the line against Zayn at “NXT Takeover: Evolution.” In closing, Zayn said if he does not win the match, he will quit WWE.
Editor’s Note
Wow. That main event is going to be stellar, and may lead to both Neville and Zayn debuting in WWE in 2015.
