✖
We knew that William Regal would have two big announcements to kick off NXT, and he certainly delivered on that promise. As earlier reports indicated, the first announcement was, in fact, a two-night NXT TakeOver event for WrestleMania week, and it will be called TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. The first night will kick things off on Wednesday, April 7th in NXT s typical timeslot on USA Network at 7 PM CST. Night two meanwhile will take place live on Thursday, April 8th on WWE s new streaming home Peacock, also kicking off at 7 PM CST.
This is the first time a TakeOver has ever been a two-night event and combined with everything else going on during WrestleMania week, it is going to be one of the most wrestling-packed weeks ever. It joins Monday Night Raw, the Hall of Fame ceremony, SmackDown, and then, of course, WrestleMania, meaning there will be something to watch every single night.
