NXT TakeOver: Respect
NXT TakeOver: Respect was the seventh NXT TakeOver professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental territory, NXT. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network and took place on October 7, 2015, at NXT's home arena, Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
Six matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Bayley defeated Sasha Banks in a 30-minute Iron Man match to retain the NXT Women's Championship, in what was the first women's match to headline a major WWE event, the first time in WWE history that a women's match had this stipulation, and the longest women's match in WWE history at the time until Banks' match against Charlotte Flair at Roadblock: End of the Line in December 2016, which was also a 30-minute Iron Man match that had sudden death overtime. The event also included the semi-finals and final of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. This was also the first TakeOver event in which the NXT Championship was not contested in the main event, and the only one until TakeOver: WarGames in November 2019 where the title was not defended whatsoever. It also marked the first WWE match of Asuka, who would go on to have the longest undefeated streak in WWE history.
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. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live specials. Respect was scheduled as the seventh NXT TakeOver event and took place on October 7, 2015, at NXT's home base of Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
The card included matches that 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.
At TakeOver: Brooklyn, Bayley defeated Sasha Banks to win her first NXT Women's Championship. On the September 16 episode of NXT, NXT General Manager William Regal scheduled Bayley to defend her title against Banks in a 30-minute Iron Man match, to which the NXT fans chanted "Iron Woman". In addition, for the first time in NXT history, the NXT Women were put in the main event of a TakeOver special.
At TakeOver: Brooklyn, Regal also revealed that NXT would hold a tag team tournament billed as the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in honor of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, a longtime NXT trainer and producer, with the finals scheduled for TakeOver: Respect. The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament started on the September 2 episode of NXT, with the first two matches out of the 16 team tournament with Baron Corbin and Rhyno, and American Alpha (Jason Jordan and Chad Gable) moving on. The next four matches took place at several NXT live events between August 28 to September 4, however, the matches were not revealed until September 9 on WWE's YouTube channel with Amore and Cassady, The Mechanics (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson), The Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley), and The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) moving on. The final two first round matches took place on the September 9 episode of NXT, with NXT Champion Finn Bálor and Samoa Joe, and American Alpha (Chad Gable and Jason Jordan) winning their respective matches to advance in the tournament.
The event opened with the semi-finals in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. In the first semi-final, NXT Champion Finn Bálor and Samoa Joe faced The Mechanics (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson). In the end, Joe executed a muscle buster on Wilder and Bálor executed a "Coup de Grâce" on Wilder to advance to the final.
Next, Baron Corbin and Rhyno and American Alpha (Jason Jordan and Chad Gable) competed in the second semi-final. The end came when Rhyno executed a "Gore" on Jordan. Corbin executed an "End of Days" on Gable to advance to the final.
