Tonight's NXT New Year's Evil featured a host of fantastic matches throughout the night, but in the midst of it all, they gave fans another event to look forward to. Towards the end of the evening, NXT revealed the time and date of the next TakeOver, and it will take place on Valentine's Day, February 14th. Nothing else was teased in regards to the matches we might see or if the event will have an overall love theme, but since it is taking place on the big day, we'd imagine it will very much have at least a few love-themed aspects to it.

NXT has knocked it out of the park with their themed events, as Halloween Havoc and New Year's Evil both had fun with the theme and delivered matches that left everyone talking the next day. A Valentine's Day episode should be no different, though unlike those events it will likely not have a host.

Halloween Havoc and New Year's Evil were special events that took place on a traditional Wednesday as opposed to on Sunday like TakeOvers, and they weren't given the TakeOver moniker either. Still, have to admit that a host would be a great fit for one taking place on Valentine's Day, especially if it was an off the wall choice.
