Yesterday, the Government of Ireland had issued a directive for all indoor events of over 100 capacity and all outdoor events of over 500 capacity due to take place between 12th-29th March and all gatherings from 30th March until 19th April to be canceled, and 3Arena confirmed they had postponed all affected shows.

NXT UK TakeOver: Dublin fell just outside of these dates but, less than 24 hours later, confirmation of the postponement has been issued.

The event was set to be the fourth ever NXT UK TakeOver, with two emanating from Blackpool and one from Cardiff thus far.
