NXT TakeOver is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on May 29, 2014, as the WWE developmental league NXT held their second WWE Networkexclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver.

NXT TakeOver: WarGames is the eighteenth overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner, and the fifth to be held in 2017. Originally promoted as NXT TakeOver: Houston, it was changed to WarGames after an announcement by Triple H on October 4, 2017. The event's name is derived from an old match type that was originally used in the National Wrestling Alliance, and later, an annual match held by World Championship Wrestling.
