Furthermore, he emphasised that the NXT brand’s special Live Event will be held one night prior to WWE Backlash, which is a Pay-Per-View event for WWE’s SmackDown brand.

What’s next?

NXT TakeOver: Chicago will take place on May 20^th at the Allstate Arena in Chicago Illinois, one night prior to WWE Backlash that will be held on May 21^st.

The main event of TakeOver: Chicago hasn’t been confirmed as of yet.

Author’s take:

After impressing fans time and again with jaw-dropping performances featuring an excellent mix of blue-chip prospects as well as wily veterans (Yes, I’m a Bobby Roode fan damn it!), NXT TakeOver will ‘take over’ (pun intended) Chicago, come May 20^th.

Now mind you, this event will take place in Chicago, the hometown of You-Know-Who, and apart from awesome performances from our favourite NXT stars, we can also expect the undying Cult of Personality fans to rain down CM Punk chants at the Allstate Arena.

Besides, what better way to hype the crowd up for Backlash, which by the way will also be held just a few miles away in Rosemont, Illinois, than holding a TakeOver show in the very same state? It’s ~~Payback~~ Backlash season folks!
