NXT TakeOver: XXV
NXT TakeOver: XXV was the 25th NXT TakeOver professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network and took place on June 1, 2019, at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Seven matches were contested at the event, including two taped for the following week's episode of NXT. In the main event, Adam Cole defeated Johnny Gargano to win the NXT Championship. The undercard saw NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler and NXT North American Champion Velveteen Dream defeating Io Shirai and Tyler Breeze, respectively, to retain their titles, and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) won the vacant NXT Tag Team Championship in a fatal four-way tag team ladder match.
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. Titled for being the 25th NXT TakeOver event and announced on May 1, 2019, TakeOver: XXV was held on June 1, 2019, at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Tickets went on sale on May 10 via Ticketmaster. The event was planned to be held on June 8 in San Jose, California, but due to Super ShowDown being held the day prior, the event was rescheduled to June 1.
The event included matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT.
At TakeOver: New York, Johnny Gargano defeated Adam Cole in a two out of three falls match to win the vacant NXT Championship. On the May 15 episode of NXT, following more weeks of feuding, a rematch between the two for the title was scheduled for TakeOver: XXV.
On the February 6 episode of NXT, Bianca Belair, Kairi Sane, and Io Shirai defeated NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir in a six-woman tag team match with Shirai pinning Baszler. Shirai, Sane, and Belair then failed to defeat Baszler for the NXT Women's Championship in a fatal four-way match at TakeOver: New York. On the April 17 episode of NXT, Sane faced Baszler for the title once again under the stipulation that she would be barred from challenging for the title again if she lost. The ending came when Shirai shoved Baszler to cause a disqualification finish. After the match, Shafir and Duke pulled Shirai out of the ring and forced her to watch as Baszler stomped on Sane's injured arm. The following week, Shirai was being interviewed backstage about the attack when Baszler, Duke, and Shafir ambushed her. On the May 1 episode, while being interviewed about her attack on Shirai, Baszler refused to answer. The following week, while Baszler was coaching Duke and Shafir, Shirai attacked Baszler, who was then saved by Duke and Shafir, before trainers broke it up. On the May 15 episode, NXT general manager William Regal booked Baszler to defend the NXT Women's Championship against Shirai at TakeOver: XXV.
During the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up, NXT Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) were drafted to Raw. They then voluntarily relinquished the titles on the May 1 taping of NXT (aired May 15), though had one final title defense against The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) that ended in disqualification after The Forgotten Sons (Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler) and Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch got involved. A fatal four-way tag team ladder match was later scheduled for TakeOver: XXV between Lorcan and Burch, Street Profits, The Forgotten Sons, and The Undisputed Era (Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish).
Since the April 24 episode of NXT, Matt Riddle had been engaging in a feud with The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, and Bobby Fish). This led to a match between Cole and Riddle for the May 8 episode, where Riddle won due to an untimely assist from Strong. After the match, Cole blamed Strong for the loss. The following week, The Undisputed Era were being interviewed, and Cole reassured that the group was better when they were on the same page. On the May 22 episode, Riddle joined forces with Johnny Gargano to lay out The Undisputed Era. Afterwards, William Regal announced that Riddle would face Strong at TakeOver: XXV.
