NXT TakeOver: WarGames (2019) is an upcoming professional wrestling show and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their NXT brand. It will take place on November 23, 2019 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.[1][2] It will be the third event under the War Games chronology.

Production

Background

NXT TakeOver is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on May 29, 2014, as the WWE developmental territory NXT held their second WWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver.[3] In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live WWE Network specials.

Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters to build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand.[4][5] Storylines are produced on the NXT television program.

On the October 30 episode of NXT, a brawl was broke out with all the women on the roster after the conclusion of WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match. This prompted the NXT general manager, William Regal to schedule the first ever women's WarGames match with Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley being captain for their respective teams.[6]
