Dark Match Announced For NXT Takeover: War Games

WWE announced on Tuesday afternoon that Pete Dunne will be putting his WWE United Kingdom Championship on the line at NXT Takeover: War Games. Unfortunately for fans, you will only be able to see this match if you are inside of the arena.

He won’t be putting the title on the line against someone from the WWE UK division…. He will be putting it on the line against NXT’s own: Johnny Gargano! WWE released the following statement:

“If you want to bear witness to WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne’s next colossal title defense live, there’s only one way to do so: By scoring a ticket to NXT’s debut at the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday, Nov. 18. Fresh off making his unforgettable debut on WWE Monday Night Raw, The BruiserWeight will put his WWE U.K. Title on the line against former NXT Tag Team Champion Johnny Gargano”

The match will only be for those in attendance:

“The match will not air as part of that night’s TakeOver: WarGames live special on WWE Network, meaning those lucky NXT fans in attendance in the Toyota Center will have an exclusive opportunity to watch the title bout unfold before their eyes. One of the most popular Superstars in all NXT, Gargano has struggled to find his footing in the singles division since the painful breakup of #DIY last May. Could Johnny Wrestling change his fortunes in Houston by dethroning the devilish Dunne and becoming the first American to capture the U.K. Championship?”
