[edit] Production
[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 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. The next live special NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first TakeOver show held outside of Full Sail University. Between NXT TakeOver: London and NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, NXT TakeOver: Respect was held on October 7. NXT Takeover: London will be the eighth overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the fifth held in 2015. NXT is scheduled to complete a seven-show tour of Britain with stops in Newcastle. Glasgow, Sheffield, Blackpool, Nottingham, Cardiff and finally London for the NXT TakeOver show.
[edit] Storylines
The NXT TakeOver show 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 (those who portray the "heroes") or heels (the "villains") as they follow a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match or a series of matches.
