Fire up the WWE Network, it's time to get your NXT TakeOver Portland live stream in order — the show's just started. And it's got a stacked card, featuring multiple show-stealing matchups, with plenty of potential ramifications for WrestleMania week in April.
We've got 4 championship title matches on Sunday, with the NXT tag team championship bout being the hardest to predict. Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne have made a lot of progress so far as the Broserweights, but only time will tell if more of The Undisputed Era will lose their gold — or if NXT management is waiting for Tampa to pull that trigger.
For my money, Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic is the most hotly anticipated match on the card. Not only have these brawling behemoths made magic on NXT TV, but their 2017 PWG BOLA quarter-final match is probably one of the top 2 matches I've ever seen live.
The most predictable matches on the card are Rhea Ripley and Keith Lee's first title defenses, as they're too short into their reigns and it's too soon for a change in champions.
Here's everything you need to know to watch NXT TakeOver Portland live streams:

How to watch TakeOver Portland live streams with a VPN
While the WWE Network (more on that below) is widely available and quite affordable, if you’re on vacation and logging into public Wi-Fi to stream the PPV (which I’ve done in the U.K., among other places), you might want to check out a VPN. You’re using that Wi-FI network to cut down on data usage, but it opens up any non-secured activity to snooping, and a virtual private network will hide your online activities from other people on the same Wi-Fi network.
We've evaluated many VPN services, and our top pick is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.
