Just a short time ago, Triple H tweeted out the full match card for the NXT Takeover: Brooklyn live special on the WWE Network scheduled for this coming Sat., Aug. 22, 2015, at the Barclays Center:

The full card:
- Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens
- Sasha Banks vs. Bayley
- Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin
- Tyler Breeze vs. Jushin Thunder Liger
- The Vaudevillains vs. Blake & Murphy
- Hype Bros and Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Jason Jordan & Chad Gable and Dash & Dawson
- Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch vs. Emma vs. Dana Brooke
- Bull Dempsey vs. Elias Samson
- Apollo Crews vs. Tye Dillinger
- Eva Marie vs. Carmella
That's a loaded line-up. Anyone want to go so far as to say it's anywhere near the level of SummerSlam the night after?
Sean note: The poster lists a 7:30PM bell time, while the show on WWE Network isn't scheduled to start until 9PM. It's likely that everything except Crews vs. Dillinger is either house show-specific or being filmed for a weekly episode of the regular Wednesday night show. The five matches that have been promoted to date and a squash from the debuting star would be closer to the usual TakeOver model of six or seven matches in two hours.
The email promoting the show on the Network features this poster:
