The current plan is to do five WWE NXT Takeover events in 2018, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The extra event is set to take place on Saturday, June 16th in Chicago during WWE Money In the Bank weekend.
MITB will now be positioned as one of the “big five” events instead of the “big four” events they have been doing – Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series. There were also 5 Takeover events during 2017 as “Takeover: Chicago” took place during Backlash weekend.
