As previously reported, the Royal Rumble weekend NXT Takeover has long been replaced by a “Worlds Collide” event. In past years, these have been WWE Network specials with talent from all of WWE’s brands battling. Since we’re just hours removed from a similar event in the Survivor Series, this sort of action didn’t make much sense.
