Production
Background
NXT TakeOver is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on May 29, 2014, when WWE's NXT brand held their second live special on the WWE Network.[2] The NXT UK brand debuted in August 2018 and subsequently adopted their sister brand's TakeOver specials, beginning with NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool in 2019. At NXT TakeOver: XXV, WWE announced that a second NXT UK TakeOver would take place in Cardiff.[1]
Storylines
The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT UK brand.[3][4] Storylines will be produced on the NXT UK television program.
