NXT TakeOver: Respect was a professional wrestling show in the NXT TakeOver series that took place on October 7, 2015, produced by WWE, showcasing its NXT developmental brand, and was streamed live on the WWE Network and is the 301st episode of NXT. It was held at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. The show was slated to feature the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament.

Production[]

Background[]

The NXT TakeOver series of professional wrestling shows started on May 29, 2014 as the WWE developmental league WWE NXT held their second ever WWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver. In subsequent months the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used by NXT and WWE for all of their NXT live specials as they held NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way, NXT TakeOver: R Evolution and NXT TakeOver: Rival prior to Unstoppable. NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first TakeOver show held outside of Full Sail University. NXT TakeOver: Respect was the seventh overall show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the fourth held in 2015.

Storylines[]

The NXT TakeOver featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines that play out on the NXT television program prior to the TakeOver show itself. Wrestlers portray faces (those who portray the "good guys") or heels (the "bad guys") as they follow a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match or a series of matches.

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic[]

At NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, NXT general manager William Regal announced that to honor the memory of WWE Hall of Famer and longtime NXT trainer/producer Dusty Rhodes, a tag team tournament billed as the "Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic" would take place over the following several weeks, culminating with the finals at NXT TakeOver: Respect. The "Dusty Rhodes Tag Tag Team Classic" tournament started on the September 2, 2015 episode of NXT with the first two matches out of the 16 team tournament with Corbin/Rhyno and Jordan/Gable moving on. The next four matches took place at several NXT live events between August 28th to September 4th, however the matches were not revealed until September 9th on the WWE's YouTube channel with Amore/Cassady, The Mechanics, The Hype Bros. and The Vaudevillains moving on. The final two first round matches took place on the September 9th edition of NXT, with Bálor/Joe and Gargano/Ciampa advancing.
