Night One Of NXT TakeOver To Be Commercial-Free On Peacock
Three titles are on the line
During Friday's TakeOver: Stand and Deliver media call, Triple H revealed that with night one's simulcast of the event, the Peacock version will not have commercial breaks.
In regards to the logistics of the two simultaneous presentations, Triple H said, "In essence it's almost like two TakeOvers happening within two days of each other. One being on USA, again, with potential commercial breaks. And also simulcast at the same point in time on Peacock where there won't be those breaks. So you have to approach it differently."
The card for NXT TakeOver: Stand and Deliver, taking place Wednesday, April 7, and Thursday, April 8, is as follows:
NIGHT ONE
* NXT Women's: Io Shirai (c) vs. Raquel Gonzalez
* NXT United Kingdom: Walter (c) vs. Tommaso Ciampa
