It would nice if NXT could break out the WarGames stipulation a bit more organically. You know, where and whenever a feud between competing factions called for Dusty Rhodes’ two-rings-one-cage invention, instead of just every November.
But I guess that’s not the reality of promoting in 2019, where the black-and-yellow brand wants to stake their claim to the night before major WWE pay-per-view (PPV) events before a competitor can announce anything that targets their audience. And where the market is saturated to such a degree that even the biggest names don’t equal instant sellout.
All of which is build up to say that today (May 20), Triple H announced NXT’s third annual TakeOver: WarGames for Sat., Nov. 23 in Chicago’s Allstate Arena. Tickets go on sale this for the Survivor Series’ eve show this upcoming Friday:
.@WWENXT brings the war to Chicago #SurvivorSeries weekend...#NXTTakeOver: WarGames is LIVE Saturday, November 23rd from the @AllstateArena.

Starting May 24, Chicagoland fans and travelers can also get seats for the Friday before-Survivor Series SmackDown on Nov. 22, and the Raw fallout show on Mon., Nov. 25.
Who do you think Undisputed ERA face this year? Or will this be the first one without Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong?
