Triple H Confirms NXT TakeOver Will Head To San Jose In June As A Standalone Event
NXT will get their own weekend in June.
On today’s NXT TakeOver: New York media call, Triple H confirmed that TakeOver will head to San Jose on June 8. The event will be held at the SJSU Event Center. This is especially big because there is not a WWE pay-per-view event scheduled for that weekend, meaning NXT will standalone in San Jose.
“(The SJSU Event Center) is a place where, before we were even doing TakeOvers, we kind of did the first WrestleMania weekend event where we were just testing the waters and it sold out and became this epic event that really set the brand in motion. I’m really excited to go back there on June 8, separate from everything else. No other pay-per-views around it. And put on an event that is epic and say ‘Thank You’ to that location for getting us off to such a great start,” said Triple H on the call.
Twitter user @WrestleVotes first reported the news earlier this month.
While there has been no TakeOver event in San Jose, the brand did hold a set of television tapings from the SJSU Event Center this past November.
