Here’s the full match card for the NXT TakeOver: Orlando show the night before WrestleMania 33 in Orlando.
Before Raw and SmackDown Live come together to put on WrestleMania 33, NXT will put on their second TakeOver special of 2017 with NXT TakeOver: Orlando on Saturday night.
Five matches are scheduled on the card, including the main event for the NXT Championship. Bobby Roode, who became NXT Champion at NXT TakeOver: San Antonio against Shinsuke Nakamura. Could this be Nakamura’s final match in NXT with WrestleMania Monday looming with a raucous crowd in Florida?
A match that could steal the show on Saturday night is the NXT Women’s Championship match between Asuka, the longest-reigning champion in NXT history, taking on Ember Moon. Asuka remains unbeaten in NXT and is closing in on one full year as NXT Women’s Champion after her victory against Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Dallas.
It’s safe to say that the match to open the night will be the eight-person mixed tag team match between SAnitY and the rag-tag quarter of No Way Jose, Roderick Strong, Tye Dillinger and Ruby Riot. Why? The pops. Oh, the pops for Jose and Dillinger. 10-counts for days.
Here’s the full NXT TakeOver: Orlando match card, which includes all three NXT titles being on the line in Orlando.
