Notes from NXT TakeOver: In Your House Media Call

Paul “Triple H” Levesque held a media call this past Thursday for NXT’s TakeOver: In Your House event this Sunday at WWE’s Performance Center.

Some notable highlights included:

• Triple H did not directly answer a question regarding if the company’s talent have been given actual coronavirus tests to ensure their health safety and well-being. Triple H did mention that he currently has some doubts on the accuracy of tests being done by other companies and the tests WWE has been using have been working so far and follows CDC recommendations.
• Triple H stated that NXT was originally caught off guard by Drake Maverick’s firing due to the Interim Cruiserweight Championship tournament had already been entirely mapped out and booked. Triple H also stated that Maverick was given the option to continue working and once he decided to do so, they changed the tournament’s direction which led to his eventual rehiring.
• Triple H confirmed that NXT TakeOver: In Your House will be a live event at the Performance Center with the exception of the NXT Championship match, which was taped at an outdoor setting.
• Triple H stated that he was thrilled with the recent Pit Fight cage match between Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher and looks forward to it becoming a new signature match for the NXT brand.
• Triple H stated that the company is currently considering options of running NXT live events with fans outside of the Performance Center but will only do so when it is safe for everyone.
• Triple H also stated that WWE still has plans to eventually open new Performance Centers and NXT branches in Japan and Latin America.
