About NXT TakeOver: WarGames (2019) in brief
NXT TakeOver: WarGames was a professional wrestling show and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their NXT brand division. It took place on November 23, 2019, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. Five matches were contested at the event, including one on the Pre-Show. In the main event, Team Ciampa defeated The Undisputed Era in a WarGames match while in the opening bout, Team Ripley defeated Team Baszler in the first-ever women’s War games match. It was the second TakeOver event in history in which the NXT Championship was not defended, and was the first which saw no title defenses on the card. The 2019 WarGames event was the 27th NXT Take over event and the third in the TakeOver WarGames chronology. The matches resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE’s writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on their weekly television program, NXT. On the October 30 episode of NXT, a brawl occurred with all the women on the roster after the conclusion of WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match.
This prompted the NXT general manager William Regal to schedule the first ever women’s warGames match with Rhea Ripley and NXT Women’s Champion ShaynaBaszler being captain for their respective teams. On November 6, Ripley chose Candice LeRae and Tegan Nox, while BasZler chose Bianca Belair and Io Shirai. On October 16, Pete Dunne performed a finger snap on Killian Dain, before Dain would later defeat Dunne in a rematch. On November 13, Dain and Dunne would fight in a match where Dain won by submission. As a result, a rematch between Dunne and Dain was scheduled for the November 6 episode of NXT and was later cancelled. On November 13, a match between Damian Priest and Damian Dunne was scheduled, where Dunne defeated Priest by submission and won the match. The following week, a men’s WarGames match was scheduled between Team Ciampa and The Undisputed Era against Matt Riddle and Keith Lee. The match occurred on the November 13 episode of NXT, where Riddle left Ciampa’s team after being scheduled to face Finn Bálor. Later that night, Riddle assisted Johnny Riddle in attacking Báloan and Riddle attacked Riddle, who retreated. The next night on NXT, the two were scheduled to fight against each other.
