A look at what time you can start watching all the action that will be NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II on Saturday evening
It’s SummerSlam weekend, which means that it’s time for one of the best professional wrestling weekends of the entire year brought to us by WWE. Of course, though, when it comes to WWE, there is now NXT, which most believe is more exciting than the main roster shows themselves. Saturday night, WWE will bring us NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II, live from the Barclays Center.
Last year Triple H took quite the gamble by running an NXT show in such a big venue, but it turned out to be quite the rousing success. It was legitimately one of the best wrestling shows of the entire year, and this year in Brooklyn they’re going to try and replicate that success.
This year, the biggest NXT show of the entire year is headlined of course by a match for the NXT title, as the champion Samoa Joe will be defending his gold against the one and only Shinsuke Nakamura, who has done nothing but impress since he arrived to the company earlier this year. Despite these two touring all over the independent scene the last decade, they surprisingly have never faced one another, so this match could be one for the ages.

As for another anticipated match on the card, the NXT Women’s title will be on the line as Bayley will be challenging Asuka, who recently has showed that she has quite the vicious streak to her. She’s been showing a more violent side to her since she took the title from Bayley this past spring in Dallas, so their second meeting on Saturday night might be a little different than the first.
Now with such an amazing show lined up, many of you are probably wondering what time you can start watching all of the NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II action. Well, the festivities on Saturday night will get kicked off on the WWE Network at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the show this year is expected to run close to three hours long, even more possibly.
