NXT’s latest TakeOver event will take place on Saturday night. What time can you watch the return of War Games?

The latest installment in the NXT TakeOver series is coming up. This time around, they have gone and spoiled us. A huge card for Saturday night in Houston is on tap. The card includes the return of a gimmick that has been dormant for almost 20 years. That gimmick, of course, is War Games. The staple of World Championship Wrestling’s Fall Brawl PPV will make its first appearance under the WWE umbrella. The Undisputed Era will face Sanity and the team of The Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong. Undisputed Era, the group featuring Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish wreaked havoc in NXT since putting their stamp on TakeOver: Brooklyn III. Now, though, they’ll have to face two entities with a lot of bad blood coursing through.

That’s not all though, of course. The NXT Championship will be up for grabs. Champion Drew McIntyre defends his title against Andrade “Cien” Almas, who will be accompanied by the great Zelina Vega. Almas will wrestle in his first-ever NXT Championship Match in Houston, and with Vega at his side, it’s a wonder if he will be able to strike and win the title. Also, the vacant NXT Women’s Championship will finally find a home. Peyton Royce, Nikki Cross, Ember Moon and Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane are going to duke it out for the prestigious title.

In addition, The Velveteen Dream will get a crack at the enigmatic Aleister Black. And, finally, the great Kassius Ohno battles newcomer and big man, Lars Sullivan.
