As noted earlier, tonight’s WWE NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University saw The Viking Raiders apparently relinquish the NXT Tag Team Titles because they are now on the WWE RAW roster. It’s now confirmed that the titles were vacated.
A Fatal 4 Way will take place at “Takeover: San Jose” to crown new NXT Tag Team Champions. It will be The Street Profits vs. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch vs. The Forgotten Sons vs. Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish of The Undisputed Era.
Takeover will also see NXT Champion Johnny Gargano defend his title against Adam Cole.
Other rumored but un-confirmed matches for Takeover look to be Roderick Strong vs. Matt Riddle, Tyler Breeze vs. NXT North American Champion The Velveteen Dream and some sort of multi-woman match with Marina Shafir, Jessamyn Duke and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler vs. Io Shirai, Candice LeRae and a partner.
While not officially announced, the first-ever “Takeover: San Jose” event is believed to take place on Saturday, June 8 from the Event Center Arena at San Jose State University in San Jose, California.
Based on what happened at tonight’s tapings, it looks like a Ladder Match stipulation or an Extreme Rules stipulation could be added to the NXT Title match or the NXT Tag Team Titles match.
