WWE NXT Takeover 31 Lineup for Oct. 4: Three Title Matches So Far

The first three matches have been announced for WWE NXT Takeover 31 on October 4. As I covered in the WWE NXT review earlier in the day, they set up the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship matches.

There have been rumors that this Takeover may take place at the WWE ThunderDome in Orlando instead of Full Sail University in Orlando, but that hasn’t been confirmed. It will be somewhere in Orlando at least.

Here’s what we know so far.

NXT Championship: Finn Balor (c) vs. Kyle O’Reilly

North American Championship: Damian Priest (c) vs. Johnny Gargano

NXT Women’s Championship: Io Shirai (c) vs. Candice LeRae

They usually have five matches on a Takeover card or sometimes six, so we’ll see if WWE chooses to add more matches.
