NXT TakeOver: Phoenix is an upcoming professional wrestling show and WWE Network event that will place on January 26, 2019 at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.[1] The event will be produced by WWE for the NXT brand that is streamed live on the WWE Network.

Production

Background

NXT TakeOver is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on May 29, 2014, as the WWE developmental league NXT held their second WWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver.[2] In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live specials. NXT TakeOver: Phoenix will be the twenty-fourth overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner, and the first to be held in 2019.

Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers.[3][4]. Storylines were produced on the NXT television program.

On the July 25 episode of NXT, Tommaso Ciampa defeated Aleister Black to capture the NXT Championship due to interference from Johnny Gargano.[5] On the December 5 episode of NXT, a rematch between the two for the title was scheduled for TakeOver: Phoenix.[6]
