Looks like this is off. I think they'll do the matches on NXT TV, maybe the two weeks before WrestleMania.

Pat LaPrade posted that the plan for Takeover is to do a special episode of NXT on April 1st with the planned Takeover matches, though they will have to be truncated given the two hour time slot.

Wonder if they could get an extra half hour or hour from USA to do it right. Two hours is perfectly fine for 5 matches in front of no fans. Don't get me wrong, I love Takeovers, but my only beef with them is that every single match has to be epic. This way, it'll just be the matches that NEED to be epic given length, and the rest can be normal matches.

I guess Balor and WALTER might be off? Otherwise, there’s the ladder match, Ciampa-Gargano, Cole-Dream, Broserweights-UE-Grizzled, and Lee-Djakovic-Priest. Could cut one of the last 2 matches if needed.

Guessing Papa H announces the rest of the card tommorow and then they spread it out over the entirety of april with whatever they have been taping.
hope the womens match still happens...not betting it will remain a ladder match though.

According to reports, they taped the next 2 weeks of Smackdown on Saturday, the 2 weeks of Raw yesterday, they're suppose to be taping the post-WM Raw and Smackdown today and WrestleMania Nights 1 & 2 on Wednesday and Thursday this week since they weren't sure when they'll be able to use the facilities again.
Makes me wonder if the NXT content that they taped on Sunday at Full Sail are the Takeover matches that they'll be airing the next few weeks.

Two qualifying matches for the Ladder Match (still a Ladder Match despite no fans) on tomorrow's NXT - Candice LeRae vs. Kayden Carter and Xia Li vs. Aliyah.

The "Takeover" match next week is Keith Lee vs. Damian Priest vs. Dominik Dijakovic for the North American Championship.
In two weeks, it's the Women's Title #1 Contendership Ladder Match, featuring Chelsea Green, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Io Shirai, Candice LeRae, and the winner of next week's Second Chance Gauntlet.
Also next week, it's Velveteen Dream vs. Bobby Fish, where Dream MAY be considered for an NXT Title Match if he wins.

And in two weeks, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa will meet in an empty venue with just them and a referee. When it's over, IT'S OVER. One of them isn't returning.
And what role will the unnamed Killer Kross play in it?

And what role will the unnamed Killer Kross play in it? Kross feuds with Ciampa, perhaps? Smackdown could probably use Gargano to boost its roster.

So as most would have expected, Dakota Kai took the final spot in next week's Ladder Match.
