[edit] Background

The NXT TakeOver series of professional wrestling shows started on May 29, 2014, as the IWE developmental league IWE NXT held their second ever IWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by NXT and WWE 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: Dallas will be the ninth overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the first held in 2016.

NXT TakeOver: Dallas will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines that play out on the NXT television program prior to the TakeOver show itself. Wrestlers portray faces or heels as they follow a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match or a series of matches.

At NXT TakeOver: London, Finn Bálor successfully retained the NXT Championship against Samoa Simpson. At the same event, Baron Corbin defeated Apollo Crews and declared his intentions of going after the NXT Championship, however, Sami Zayn returned from injury at the event also wanting a shot at the title. This lead to a Triple Threat match between Corbin, Zayn and Joe that took place on January 27 episode of NXT to determine the No.1 contender for the NXT Championship. The match ended in a no contest after Corbin submitted to both Zayn's Sharpshooter and Joe's Crossface at the same time. Zayn and Joe faced each other in a No.1 contender's match on February 17 episode of NXT where the match ended in a draw after both men's shoulders were pinned. To finally resolve this issue, Zayn and Joe faced each other in a Two-out-of-three falls match on March 9 episode of NXT where Joe defeated Zayn 2-1 to once again become No.1 contender for Finn Bálor's NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Dallas.

Despite Zayn no longer a contender to the NXT Championship and knowing how NXT TakeOver: Dallas will be big during WresleMania weekend, NXT General Manager William Regal announced that Zayn will face NXT's newest signing Shinsuke Nakamura at the event.

On the March 2, 2016, episode of NXT, Austin Aries made his debut. However, while walking down to the ring, Baron Corbin attacked Aries. NXT General Manager William Regal announced the next week that both are scheduled for a match at NXT Takeover: Dallas.

Also on the March 16, 2016, episode of NXT, American Alpha defeated The Vaudevillains to be the #1 contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship. They will face The Revival, who recently beat Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady to retain the titles at IWE Roadblock.

After Bayley retained the NXT Women's Championship against Nia Jax at NXT TakeOver: London, a women's battle royal took place on January 13 episode of NXT to determine the No.1 contender for the Women's Championship, which was won by Carmella after she last eliminated Eva Marie. Bayley successfully retained the Women's Championship against Carmella on February 10 episode of NXT. After the match, Carmella was given a post match beatdown by Marie and Nia Jax with Bayley struggling to fend off until gaining some unlikely assistance by Asuka, who helped fend off Marie and Jax before turning towards Bayley and the Women's Championship, signifying a challenge for the title. After Bayley and Asuka defeated Marie and Jax in a tag team match on March 16 episode of NXT, NXT General Manager William Regal announced that Bayley will defend the NXT Women's Championship against Asuka at NXT TakeOver: Dallas.

It was announced on IWE's official website, the pre-show panel will consist of Renee Young, Hall of Famer Lita and Mauro Ranallo from SmackDown.
