WWE NXT "Takeover: In Your House" Main Event Will Now Be A Backlot Brawl

By Marc Middleton

The Velveteen Dream vs. WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole at Sunday's "Takeover: In Your House" event will now be a Backlot Brawl.

The stipulation was announced during tonight's go-home edition of NXT, which featured a Prime Target video preview for the bout. As noted, the "Takeover: In Your House" main event was filmed last Thursday on the backlot of Full Sail University. There's no word yet on if this will be a cinematic-style match, but it has been speculated. WWE previously held a Hollywood Backlot Brawl back in 1996 at WrestleMania 12, which saw WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper defeat Goldust.
