WrestleMania weekend next year has undergone a minor shakeup, as WWE confirmed NXT TakeOver will now take place on Friday night instead of Saturday.

WWE confirmed to Pro Wrestling Sheet: “WWE will be going back to its previous WrestleMania Week schedule with NXT TakeOver on Friday, April 5 and the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, April 6. We believe this better serves our fans.”

Fans who purchased travel packages were first alerted of the change this morning via email.

This means TakeOver will no longer run against the ROH/NJPW show at Madison Square Garden.
