- Yesterday we posted that Triple H teased a WWE NXT live event for SummerSlam weekend in New York City. One idea discussed was a live WWE Network special with the NXT brand to be held the night before SummerSlam in Brooklyn. If they go this route, the special would go up against Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling in the same area.

I doubt you will get 18k for NXT. That is quite a big jump compared to other venues they been in. Its not like you will see Zayn, Neville, or Itami wrestle. Owens might not be there unless he loses the NXT title and wants a rematch. Charlotte might be called up to the main roster by then and Bayley and Becky are injured. The draws right now is Balor, Joe, Enzo & Cass, and Sasha. Its not bad but its not great either.

There's no WWE house show that night, so I'm assuming it's going to feature some logical main roster guys as well. (Neville, Owens, Ziggler)
according to their calendar they have a houseshow set for white plains that same night but its a small venue (4,400 seats) so they could easily cancel it as they have done with the nxt takeover special on august 12th it would seem or send a skeleton crew to white plains that night while adding neville, cesaro, even cena and rollins to the nxt special in brooklyn

So is this replacing the August 12th Takeover that was in the list of live tapings which was leaked a little while ago?

Seems pointless to have a 'normal' Takeover on the 12th and then have the biggest NXT show of all time, 10 days later.

As mentioned before it's a shame that Zayn and Itami are injured. Even if Zayn was on the main roster by now, it still would have been right to include him (as I hope they include Neville) He's one of the guys that made NXT what it is today.

I wonder if they'll bring in some ex-NXT talent right from the beginning, seeing as it's such a huge show and the only main eventers you have are Balor, Owens and Joe atm.

Bring in Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins, Paige, Big E, would be very cool to see talents from the Beginning of NXT along with the NXT of today.

edit: I bet WWE got the idea to do this after that MASSIVE house show for NXT that they did on Wrestlemania weekend, which Vince attended.
