This was a big blow for many fans, with TakeOver shows often providing some of the best in-ring action and story-driven matches of the entire year.

Fear not, as WWE has confirmed a report from Sports Illustrated that states the matches planned for NXT TakeOver: Tampa will now take place on the coming episodes of NXT TV.

WWE has confirmed that Triple H will appear on tomorrow night’s NXT to announce which makes will be taking place on which date. The string of TakeOver matches will start the Wednesday before WrestleMania.
