The latest NXT TakeOver event comes to us tonight. NXT TakeOver: Respect is live on the WWE Network from Full Sail University. Tonight we see the semi finals and finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic as well as the match for the NXT Women’s Championship.

This will be the first NXT TakeOver event to have the NXT Women’s Championship defended as the sole main event. We’ll see Women’s Champion Bayley defend against former Champion Sasha Banks in a 30 minute Iron Man match.

As well as the first time we’ve seen a women’s match in the main event spot, Respect also sees the TakeOver debuts of several NXT stars. This is a card unlike any we have seen before.

16 teams set out to win the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, tonight one team will walk away with the honour of being the inaugural winners, with the trophy set to be presented by Dusty’s two sons Cody and Dustin Rhodes. Both men honour their legendary father by stepping in to the NXT ring to award the prize to the winners.

We also see Apollo Crews face Tyler Breeze and the debuting Asuka taking on Dana Brooke with Emma.

A lot has happened since NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn and this is the next step on the road towards the first NXT held overseas, NXT London will be held on December 16th in the capital of Great Britain.
