It was a night of major announcementsThis week’s NXT episode was a step towards bigger things. Takeover: Dallas is on its way and so is part of WWE’s build up to Wrestlemania 32. Matches were made and the card looks as interesting as any Takeover card.Zayn made quite a determined statement that NXT’s going to steal the show during Mania weekend and then Regal made a game-changing announcement which you may already know if you were following the spoilers.This was a great way to kickstart NXT’s Road to Wrestlemania as Aries Vs Corbin was already set in stone and we had three more matches being made official this week.Here are the 5 points to note from this weeks’ show  

#1 Zayn gets a match at Takeover

Zayn will be at Takeover Dallas

Sami Zayn made his way to the ring, still happy to meet his NXT audience despite his loss to Samoa Joe last week. He knows that NXT will steal the show during Wrestlemania weekend, but he was still unclear what role he’ll play since he’s nowhere near the title picture.

William Regal came out to tell him that he is special to NXT and that’s why he’s got something for him for probably NXT’s biggest Takeover. Shinsuke Nakamura made his presence felt for the first time on NXT and in a briefer than brief promo – where you couldn’t decipher much since the audience was quite overwhelmed and were freaking out – he said he’ll see us at Dallas.

Way to kick off the show.

Zayn will now have double duty during Mania weekend since he might face Owens for the IC title at Mania
