This week’s episode of NXT television got around to giving us the main event of the upcoming TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 scheduled for Sat., Aug. 18, 2018, at the Barclays Center in New York:

That may not actually be what’s happening, however.
Indeed, WrestleVotes notes that Aleister Black is not expected to be cleared to return from his groin injury in time to actually wrestle on the show. We’re still just under two weeks away, however, and WWE has yet to announce he’s been pulled and is going ahead as though it’s happening.
The perils of pre-taping.
In the event he can’t make it, a Gargano vs. Ciampa title match is one hell of a replacement, though obviously that would mean booking it sooner than NXT would have liked.
We’ll keep you up to date on any official announcement from WWE.
