Currently, NXT puts on five TakeOver events every year. The special shows normally take place in January, April, June, August and November, usually the night before a WWE main roster pay-per-view.
However, with NXT moving to the USA Network next month, and the show doubling in length and moving to a live format, the company are considering changing up sed schedule.
According to the ever-reliable WrestleVotes, WWE is considering adding a sixth TakeOver event in 2020.
A source states adding a 6th TakeOver event is a real possibility in 2020, all dependent on how the USA Network numbers look. The current TakeOver schedule of Jan, Mania weekend, June, Aug & Nov makes finding a slot for a 6th show a bit difficult.

They note that the decision will be made once the company sees how NXT copes on the USA Network.
However, WrestleVotes says that WWE will struggle to find a sixth slot to have the show take place, with the current schedule making his hard.
This year, NXT TakeOver: XXV in June was the first-ever stand-alone TakeOver event.
WrestleVotes does not state whether WWE wants this new TakeOver to take place the night before a WWE pay-per-view, or as its own show.
