A look at how to watch NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II and what will be seen on the match card.
NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II will emanate from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. This is the second consecutive year NXT has used this venue. Their 2015 show had matches like Bayley vs. Sasha Banks and Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens highlight the show.
The 2016 version of TakeOver: Brooklyn should see another exciting match card with six set to take place.
The main event will be Samoa Joe defending the NXT Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. After defeating Finn Balor on July 13, The King of Strong Style became the new No. 1 Contender to the title. NXT GM William Regal would announce this.

This NXT Championship match will be the first one to not feature Joe vs. Balor since TakeOver in Brooklyn in 2015. Nakamura replacing Balor should add a fresh presence to the title scene. Can he win the belt from The Samoan Submission Machine, though?
Asuka will defend the NXT Women’s Championship vs. Bayley, who had her show-stealing moment one year earlier at the Barclays Center. This time, she’s looking to win the belt for a second time. Will The Hugster become the first two-time NXT Women’s Champion?
