Last night Triple H announced the date for the next NXT UK TakeOver special.. which just so happens to fall on the same day as two other huge wrestling events.
NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff will be held on August 31st, the same day as AEW’s ALL OUT PPV, and NJPW’s Royal Quest event from the UK.
According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE had the August 31st date locked in “for several months.”
So the announcement appears to not be a direct attempt to go head to head with AEW, or NJPW. It appears to be a coincidence that WWE made the announcement a week after AEW announced All Out for Chicago on Labor Day weekend as well.
Johnson said:
“The 8/31 date for the NXT UK Takeover in Cardiff, Wales had been locked in for several months before it was announced tonight.”
It looks as though there won’t be a time conflict between the NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff event and AEW’s All Out event, as the two will be taking place at different times of the day. NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff will begin at 3:00 PM EST, where as AEW’s ALL OUT is expected to have a 7 PM EST start time. However, NXT UK TakeOver might end up running head to head with NJPW’s Royal Quest, as both events are taking place in the UK.
