NXT TAKEOVER: IN YOUR HOUSE PARTICIPANTS’ TAKEOVER HISTORY

 Since I do the blogs looking at every Pay-Per-View every month, I thought I would do one looking at NXT Takeover: In Your House II. To see the entire history of Takeover, visit the Takeover History HERE. And for any feedback or comments about this, comment below or tweet me (@hbkid718). Thanks.

This will be the 1^st Takeover since Takeover 31 to not have a Triple Threat Match, the 1^st Takeover since it was instituted that the Women’s Tag Team Championship Match was not defended, & the 1^st Takeover since Vengeance Day on February 14 that the Cruiserweight Title was not defended.

Since no opening matches have been announced, here are the facts about it. If the Ladder Match opens, it will be the 2^nd Takeover in a row to open with a Ladder Match & 3^rd Overall or a Singles Match & both Grimes & Knight’s 1^st Takeover opener. If a Women’s Match opens, it will be the 6^th Women’s Match to open Takeover, & 1^st since Vengeance Day on February 14, 2021, which was both Ember Moon & Raquel Gonzalez’s last opener, & would be their 3^rd overall. It would be the 1^st ever Women’s Championship Match to open a Takeover. If Martinez VS Li opens, it would be the 1^st Women’s Singles Match to open since Asuka VS Emma at London on December 6, 2015. If the 6-Man Tag Team Match opens, it would be the 1^st Tag Team Match to open since Vengeance Day on February 14, 2021, the 1^st 6-Person Tag since In Your House on June 7, 2020, the 1^st North American Championship Match to open since Portland on February 16, 2020, the 1^st Tag Team Championship Match to open since Toronto on August 10, 2019, MSK, Reed, Mendoza, & Wilde’s 1^st Takeover opener, & Escobar’s 2^nd in a row, making him the 1^st since Moon, Gonzalez, Shotzi Blackheart, & Dakota Kai at War Games IV on December 6, 2020 & Vengeance Day on February 14, 2021 to wrestle in back-to-back Takeover openers.

FATAL 5-WAY MATCH FOR THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP: ADAM COLE VS PETE DUNNE VS JOHNNY GARGANO VS NXT CHAMPION KARRION KROSS VS KYLE O’REILLY

Adam Cole VS Pete Dunne VS Johnny Gargano VS Karrion Kross VS Kyle O’Reilly was the 6^th NXT Championship Match of 2021, the 1^st since NXT on May 25, 32^nd at Takeover, & 3^rd Takeover in a row. It will be the 5^th Fatal 5-Way of 2021, the 2^nd at Takeover & 1^st since the North American Championship Match at Takeover 30 on August 22, 2020, which was also the last 5-Way in NXT, & the 1^st ever for the NXT Championship. This will be the 25^th NXT Championship Match to main event Takeover & 1^st since Finn Balor VS Kyle O’Reilly at Vengeance Day on February 14, 2021. This will be Adam Cole’s 16^th Takeover, tying him with Finn Balor for the 2^nd Most Takeover Matches of All-Time & his 2^nd in a row. It will be his 10^th Takeover Main Event, which is the Most of All-Time & 2^nd in a row. It will be his 1^st NXT Championship Match at Takeover since he defeated The Velveteen Dream at In Your House on June 7, 2020, his 1^st ever Multi-Person Match for the NXT Title, & his 2^nd 5-Way after he defeated Aleister Black, Ricochet, Riddle, & The Velveteen Dream on NXT on March 20, 2019. This will be Karrion Kross’ 4^th Takeover & 2^nd in a row. It will be his 2^nd Takeover main event & 1^st since Takeover 30 on August 22, 2020. It will be his 1^st Multi-Person Match for the NXT Championship. It will be his 2^nd NXT Championship Defense, so if he would lose, he would be the 1^st since Keith Lee who lost to Kross at Takeover 30 on August 22, 2020 to lose in his 2^nd Defense. As of Takeover, Kross’ NXT Championship Reign has lasted 66 Days, so if he would lose, he would be the 1^st to lose in 66 Days, & would be the 7^th Shortest Reign of All-Time. If he wins, he would be the 1^st NXT Champion since Adam Cole at Takeover 25 on June 1, 2019 & Toronto on August 10, 2019 to win the title & then retain it at back-to-back Takeovers. This will be Pete Dunne’s 11^th Takeover, which is the 6^th Most of All-Time & 3^rd in a row. It will be his 1^st NXT Championship Match since he lost to Finn Balor at Vengeance Day on February 14, 2021, his 1^st ever Multi-Person Match for the NXT Championship & 1^st ever 5-Way Match. It will be his 4^th Takeover Main Event & 1^st since Vengeance Day on February 14, 2021. This will be Johnny Gargano’s 23^rd Takeover, which continues to be the Most of All-Time & his 7^th in a row. It will be his 1^st NXT Championship Match since he lost to Adam Cole at Toronto on August 22, 2020, his 1^st Multi-Person Match for the NXT Championship, but his 2^nd 5-Way Match & 1^st since he lost to Damian Priest, along with Cameron Grimes, Bronson Reed, & The Velveteen Dream at Takeover 30 on August 22, 2020. This will be the 1^st time he is not in a North American Championship Match since he lost to Finn Balor at Portland on February 16, 2020, ending his streak of the Most North American Championship Matches. It will be his 9^th Takeover main event, which is the 2^nd Most Main Events of All-Time & 1^st since Toronto on August 10, 2019. If Adam Cole or Johnny Gargano win, they will be the 3^rd 2-time NXT Champion in a row & 5^th overall after Karrion Kross, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, & Shinsuke Nakamura. Gargano would be the 1^st to be North American & NXT Champion twice. Also, this will be Cole & Gargano’s 6^th NXT Championship Match at Takeover, which is the 2^nd Most Title Matches of All-Time after Finn Balor (7) & ahead of Tommaso Ciampa, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, & Sami Zayn (4). This will be Kyle O’Reilly’s 15^th Takeover, which ties Tommaso Ciampa for 3^rd Most of All-Time & his 2^nd in a row. It will be his 1^st NXT Championship Match since he lost to Finn Balor at Takeover 31 on October 4, 2020. It will be his 1^st Multi-Person Match for the NXT Championship & 1^st ever 5-Way Match. It will be his 7^th Takeover main event, which ties Tommaso Ciampa for 3^rd Most Main Events of All-Time & his 2^nd in a row, making him & Adam Cole the 1^st since himself at Takeover 31 on October 6, 2020 & War Games IV on December 6, 2020 to be in 2 Takeover main events back-to-back. Dunne & O’Reilly would be the 1^st 1^st time Champion since Karrion Kross’ 1^st Reign, Dunne would be the 1^st ever to be UK & NXT Champion & he & O’Reilly would be the 1^st since Adam Cole to be Tag Team & NXT Champion. It would be the 2^nd NXT Championship of 2021, 1^st since Stand & Deliver on April 8, 2021, the 12^th to take place at Takeover, & 2^nd in a row, making it the 1^st time since Johnny Gargano defeated Adam Cole & Cole defeated Gargano at New York on April 5, 2019 & Takeover 25 on June 1, 2019 that the NXT Championship changed hands at back-to-back Takeovers. It would be the 1^st ever NXT Title Change in a Fatal 5-Way Match, but 2^nd Title Change overall as Damian Priest won the Vacant North American Title at Takeover 30 on August 22, 2020. It would be the 23^rd NXT Title Change of All-Time.
