NXT TakeOver was a series of professional wrestling pay-per-view and livestreaming shows by WWE produced for their NXT brand. Wrestlers who have not made it to one of WWE's two main weekly TV shows, Raw or SmackDown, wrestle on NXT.
NXT TakeOver shows were the biggest shows for wrestlers on NXT. They aired live on the WWE Network, with later events airing on Peacock and traditional pay-per-view channels in the U.S. Some events took place on the weekends of WWE's big main roster shows like WrestleMania or SummerSlam. For the NXT UK brand, WWE held the NXT UK TakeOver series.
When NXT was renamed to NXT 2.0 in September 2021, the TakeOver name was no longer used, starting with NXT WarGames that November. The last TakeOver event was NXT TakeOver 36 on August 22.[1]
