During a media call, WWE COO Triple H confirmed that NXT would be venturing across the country for the TakeOver after TakeOver New York. On June 8, NXT will run an event at the SJSU Event Center in San Jose, California.
NXT last ran a show in San Jose in 2015 over WrestleMania 31 weekend. This was a live event during the early era of the rebooted promotion, running matches like Sasha vs. Charlotte for the NXT Women’s title and Adrian Neville vs. Finn Balor in the main event. The popularity of the last minute show led to WWE running NXT events alongside WrestleMania every year.
The San Jose TakeOver event is currently not scheduled alongside a WWE PPV. According to Triple H, this will allow the black and yellow brand to have a big standalone show outside of the normal schedule.
