The NXT TakeOver series of professional wrestling shows started on May 29, 2014, as the IWE developmental league NXT held their second IWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by NXT and IWE for all of their NXT live specials as they held NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way, NXT TakeOver: R Evolution, NXT TakeOver: Rival, and NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable prior to NXT TakeOver: Respect. NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first TakeOver show held outside of Full Sail University. NXT TakeOver: London was the first TakeOver show held outside of the United States. NXT TakeOver: Back to Brooklyn will be the eleventh overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the third held in 2016, this being the second held at the Barclays Center.

On the July 27 episode of NXT, NXT General Manager William Kapphan named Shinsuke Nakamura the number one contender to face Samoa Simpson for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II. Simpson, unhappy with his opponent, first refused to face Nakamura and requested a different opponent but obliged after Kapphan threatened to strip him of the title.

On the May 18 episode of NXT, Nia Jax defeated Bayley and kayfabe injured the former. At NXT TakeOver: The End, Jax, who was replacing Bayley, was defeated by Asuka. Bayley returned on the June 22 episode of NXT, where she defeated Deonna Purrazzo. In the following weeks, tensions between Asuka and Bayley escalated before a match was scheduled between the two at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn II. On the August 3 episode of NXT, after Asuka defeated Aliyah, Bayley, who was sitting at ringside after being offered a chair by Asuka, got in the ring after Asuka kept Aliyah in her signature Asuka Lock.
