WWE News: Triple H announces TakeOver: Phoenix, tickets go on sale this weekend

What's the story?

As per by WWE COO, WWE's development brand NXT is all set to host it's first ever TakeOver event in Phoenix, Arizona during Royal Rumble weekend in 2019.

In case you didn't know...

The inaugural NXT TakeOver event took place first on 29 May, 2014 at the Full Sail University, just within a few short months after the WWE Network launched. The first NXT TakeOver show witnessed two grand main events in one night, as Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya to win the vacant NXT Women's Championship, whereas, Neville defeated Tyson Kidd to retain the NXT Championship in the other main event.

NXT is currently coming off NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV which took place on the 18th of August, 2018 at the Barclays Center with Tommaso Ciampa defeating Johnny Gargano to retain the NXT Championship in a Last Man Standing match main event.

The heart of the matter

Earlier this week, Triple H took it to his official Twitter handle and made another historic announcement, as 'The Game' confirmed the next NXT TakeOver event, TakeOver: Phoenix, which is all set to take place during Royal Rumble weekend.
