NXT Takeover pre-show panel, WWE Network schedule, and other news

As Sean broke down earlier, the NXT Takeover match card line-up is officially set with five bouts booked for the live special scheduled for next Thurs., May 29, 2014, at 8 p.m. ET on the WWE Network. The show isn't as loaded up as the ArRIVAL card was, but it's just as likely to entertain.

In anticipation of the big show from WWE's developmental program, it's been revealed that a one-hour preview show, hosted by Renee Young, will air on Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET.

More from WWE.com:

The preview will also feature exclusive interviews with WWE Hall of Famers Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, one night before they will be ringside for the NXT Women's Championship Match between Natalya and Charlotte.

On Thursday night, be sure to have WWE Network on at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT for the LIVE NXT Takeover Pre-Show. Young will be joined by a panel of experts, including Christian, Paul Heyman and Cesaro, to break down the night of action ahead.

Of note is the fact that Hart and Flair are apparently both scheduled to work the Takeover show, as it was reported recently that he had prior commitments that would keep him from appearing. We'll know for sure come next week.

Looking forward to getting NXT wasted next week?
