Production

Background

TakeOver is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on 29 May 2014, when WWE's NXT brand held their second live special on the WWE Network.[2] The NXT UK brand debuted in August 2018 and subsequently adopted their sister brand's TakeOver specials, beginning with TakeOver: Blackpool in 2019. In February 2020, a fourth NXT UK TakeOver was announced to take place in Dublin, Ireland. This will mark the first NXT UK TakeOver event held outside the United Kingdom.

TakeOver: Dublin was originally scheduled to take place on April 26, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was postponed and rescheduled to occur on October 25.[1]

Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters to build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT UK brand, while storylines are produced on their weekly television program NXT UK.[3][4]
