Here’s the full match card for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III the night before WWE SummerSlam in the same building.
The night before SummerSlam, WWE’s NXT brand will host their third NXT TakeOver event inside of the Barclays Center for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III.
The Brooklyn-based event has basically become NXT’s version of WrestleMania over the last couple of years. Back in 2015, NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the very first TakeOver event for NXT that wasn’t filmed at Full Sail University and it was one of the best shows the brand has ever produced.
Fans won’t see the likes of Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Bayley or Sasha Banks this time around, but the card is shaped up to be a solid one, especially a main event featuring “The Glorious One” Bobby Roode defending the NXT Championship against former WWE Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre.
Other matches on the show’s card will be the unbeaten Asuka, in the midst of her 500+ day reign (!) as NXT Women’s Champion, defending her title against Ember Moon. The dominant Authors of Pain, led by Paul Ellering, will defend their NXT Tag Team Championship against Eric Young and SAnitY.
Can both Asuka and The Authors of Pain maintain their unbeaten runs or will we see some titles switching hands on Saturday night in Brooklyn? What about Bobby Roode? Only three men — Bo Dallas, Adrian Neville and Finn Balor — have held the NXT Championship longer than Roode. Will his glorious reign continue against The Chosen One?
Before we get to showtime itself, let’s take a look at the full match card, starting with the main event and working down the card.
