– WWE announced 14,975 fans in attendance at the sold out Amway Center in Orlando for tonight’s Takeover event.
– The dark match before Takeover saw Oney Lorcan defeat Elias Samson. Samson wrestled under a mask as El Vagabundo as he recently lost the “Loser Leaves NXT” match to Kassius Ohno. Lorcan ended up unmasking Samson before he was yanked to the back by a female NXT security guard.
