WrestleMania weekend Takeover moved back to Friday

The NXT Takeover events usually take place the night before one of the big 5 PPVs of WWE, except for the one that happens before WrestleMania.

 


 

Due to the Hall Of Fame event, the Takeover event before the Biggest Wrestling Show of the year used to take place 2 nights before the show on Friday nights.

WWE had changed this arrangement last year when they put the Hall Of Fame ceremony on Friday but they have announced that they are reversing it back and Takeover will once again be on held on Friday:

“WWE will be going back to its previous WrestleMania Week schedule with NXT TakeOver on Friday, April 5 and the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, April 6. We believe this better serves our fans,”

It’s interesting to note that ROH is going to run their planned MSG Supershow on Saturday during the same weekend and there are some who believe that avoiding this competition was also one of the reasons behind this change.
