RUMOR: Keep Them Coming. NXT Takeover May Be Undergoing A Change.

Put another one on the calendar. In a little over a month, NXT is expanding to a two hour live show every Wednesday night, meaning things are going to get a little bit more interesting in the wrestling world. That means that we are going to have more content on television, but it turns out that there is something else that could be added to the schedule to balance it out.

According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, WWE may consider adding in a sixth NXT Takeover to the calendar, which would be in addition to the five already taking place every year. The decision would depend on how NXT draws as a show on USA starting on September 28. At the moment it is not clear when the show would take place, as Takeovers currently take place around the same time as the Big Four pay per views, plus in early June.

A source states adding a 6th TakeOver event is a real possibility in 2020, all dependent on how the USA Network numbers look. The current TakeOver schedule of Jan, Mania weekend, June, Aug & Nov makes finding a slot for a 6th show a bit difficult.

We need more of this. Check out part of the most recent Takeover main event:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m surprised at something like this as WWE certainly loves content at this point. The problem is that Takeover works so much better because it isn’t around as often. I’m hoping that this change doesn’t take place as it would hurt the way NXT operates, but that has already been done with the expansion to two hours. Maybe it could work though, as NXT has surprised me several times before.

Do you think more Takeovers will work? How many Takeovers should NXT run? Let us know in the comments below.
