NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the sixth NXT TakeOver and inaugural TakeOver: Brooklyn professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental territory, NXT. The event aired on the WWE Network and took place on August 22, 2015, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. It was the first night of what was billed as a WWE "triple-header" at the arena, with SummerSlam taking place the following evening and Raw the night after that. This was the first TakeOver to be held outside of Full Sail University; WWE promoted it as NXT being "on the biggest stage yet". It was the first TakeOver to have its own subseries of TakeOvers, as well as the first TakeOver held as a support show for one of WWE's main pay-per-view events.

There were two main events for the show: a ladder match for the NXT Championship with reigning champion Finn Bálor defending the title against former champion Kevin Owens and a singles match for the NXT Women's Championship, where Sasha Banks defended her title against Bayley. A match for the NXT Tag Team Championship was also part of the show with The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) capturing the championship. TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first WWE-promoted event appearance of Japanese wrestler Jushin Thunder Liger, who made a one-off appearance for the company in a match against Tyler Breeze. The show also marked the TakeOver debut of Apollo Crews, who defeated Tye Dillinger.

The match between Sasha Banks and Bayley was widely acclaimed and is now regarded as one of the greatest women's matches of all time and has been cited by many as the start of the Women's Revolution in North America. It is also considered as one of the most influential matches within its category as its impact has played a pivotal role in reshaping industry standards, setting a new benchmark that has significantly influenced subsequent generations of female wrestlers.
