Background
TakeOver was a series of professional wrestling shows that began in May 2014, as WWE's then-developmental league NXT held their second WWE Network-exclusive event, billed as TakeOver.[1] In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live specials. Announced on September 28, 2015, Brooklyn III was scheduled as the 16th NXT TakeOver event and was held on August 19, 2017, as a support show for that year's SummerSlam pay-per-view. It was subsequently the third event in the TakeOver: Brooklyn chronology, a subseries of TakeOvers that were held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York as a support show for WWE's annual SummerSlam pay-per-view.[2] Tickets went on sale on June 9 through Ticketmaster.[3]
