Sunday’s NXT TakeOver 31 event won’t be taking place at Full Sail Live.
Post Wrestling’s John Pollock reported on Thursday night that “beginning this Sunday with TakeOver, WWE will be moving its NXT broadcasts from Full Sail University over to the WWE Performance Center.” Pollock wrote that sources tell them NXT will be making the move to the Performance Center for the foreseeable future. 205 Live will also be running out of the Performance Center starting next week.
The report has been confirmed by our Dave Meltzer.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque said on his pre-TakeOver media call this week that TakeOver 31 will have “a very unique look and feel, something totally different that hasn’t been done so far.” Levesque said we’ll find out more on Sunday and he hopes it will be game-changing for them.
TakeOver 31 will feature Finn Balor vs. Kyle O’Reilly for the NXT Championship, Io Shirai vs. Candice LeRae for the NXT Women’s Championship, Damian Priest vs. Johnny Gargano for the NXT North American Championship, Santos Escobar vs. Isaiah “Swerve” Scott for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and Kushida vs. Velveteen Dream. WWE is also hyping that a wrestler will be returning to NXT at the event.
