Welcome to PWInsider.com’s coverage of WWE NXT Takeover War Games from Chicago, Illinois.

Charly announces that Mia Yim was attacked earlier and we see Mia being checked out while Rhea Ripley,is not in a good mood.  We see Candice and Tegan checking on Mia.

Charly shows us a tweet that Tommaso Ciampa sent out earlier today about the fourth man.
