Update On If WWE NXT ‘Takeover: Brooklyn’ Is Still Happening
Source: WrestlingINC
The WWE NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn” event will still be happening, according to WWE officials. The event was suddenly pulled from Ticketmaster this week and was not listed on WWE’s website but still remained on the Barclays Center website.
Ticketmaster will be re-adding the event soon with new logos and details, according to F4Wonline.com. There was a lot of speculation after the event was pulled, mainly due to the June 8th event being billed as “Takeover: The End” and WWE brand extension rumors. F4Wonline.com adds that there were many NXT talents concerned when the event was pulled on Monday.
Takeover is scheduled for August 20th during SummerSlam weekend in Brooklyn.
Velvet Sky Says She Wants To Go To WWE, Talks Why She Left TNA, More

Former TNA Knockouts Champion Velvet Sky was interviewed by Sports Illustrated recently. You can check out highlights below, and the full interview at this link.
How she’d do in WWE:
“I think I would do well there. The women there are killing it, and empowering and building up the women would be a great role for me. Bayley is so much fun to watch wrestle. She has so much energy and passion, and the people feel her energy and feed off that. She’s so great at expressing herself, and she’s so genuine.”
Trying to get to WWE:
“That is why I sacrificed right from the beginning,” she said. “That is why I left college, and the reason why I wrestled every weekend. The indie scene is not glitz and glamour, but a chance with the WWE is the reason I did this from the very beginning. I would totally embrace any opportunity with the WWE.”
Leaving TNA:
“Leaving TNA was best for me,” Sky said. “I’d been there for almost ten years and I’d accomplished everything I wanted to do. My contract was coming up, and this was a business decision I made for myself. It was hard because there are so many memories there with the fans and the TNA family, but I don’t regret it. I look back on the career I had with TNA, and I’m so proud. I did what I set out to do, and I’m very proud of what I accomplished.”

New Japan Pro Wrestling is capitalizing on all of the attention the company is getting after a Best of the Super Juniors match from night six garnered polarizing reactions from fans.
New Japan posted the full Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay match from last week, which featured the two stars going back and forth in an acrobatic, high flying match. Former WCW Champion Vader and several other talents were quick to criticize the two based on a short .gif of the match that surfaced the next day.
William Regal and Shelton Benjamin were a couple of the veteran wrestling names that stood up for Ricochet and Ospreay, putting over the style. Ospreay responded to Vader’s criticism by doing a Vader Bomb the next night.

Ticketmaster Pulls WWE NXT ‘Takeover:Brooklyn’ From SummerSlam Weekend, TakeOver: The End

There’s been a lot of speculation on if WWE NXT “Takeover: The End” refers to the end of the Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe feud or the end of the Takeover specials, or the brand as we know it.
Reader Dan Corey sent word that the NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn” event is no longer listed on Ticketmaster for the 2016 SummerSlam weekend in late August. Ticketmaster still has the pay-per-view listed and the post-SummerSlam RAW, both at the Barclays Center, but the NXT event is no longer available.
Triple H announced “The End” after the name “Revenge” was previously used at the NXT TV tapings. His announcement came just the same week as the WWE brand split news. We’ll keep you updated on the Takeover event.
