The NXT TakeOver show featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines that played out on the NXT television program prior to the show. Wrestlers portrayed faces (those who portray the "good guys") or heels (the "bad guys") as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match or a series of matches.[1][2]
Event
The commentators were Tom Phillips, William Regal and Byron Saxton.[3] The pre-show panel consisted of Christian, Paul Heyman and Renee Young.[4] There was a non-match segment with Mojo Rawley confronting Rusev and Lana; Rusev dominated the resultant brawl.
