Odd, they announced the brand but didn't send me my plane ticket...
Ah well, I'll be around at the first taping to win the top men's title and Brock Lesnar that ho by not showing up again for about six months or so.

As long as they do regular shows up here in Newcastle, I'm happy about this.

Don't have a large knowledge of UK talents but does anyone have an idea of what the UK women's division might look like?

I really see this just ending up being a money pit.

Toni Storm, Jinny Couture, Millie McKenzie, Session Moth Martina, Killer Kelly, Isla Dawn, Candy Floss, Zoe Lucas And a ton more, there's a lot of female talent around the UK

More wrestling is fine by me.

It will be called NXT & Crumpets. BOOOOO! Also all matches are under 2/3 Falls, no closed fist and a standard Five 3 minute rounds.

That logo makes me envisage a pro-wrestling Hogwarts, with invites delivered by owls landing on wrestlers during indy shows.

Looks like Toni Storm, Jinny Couture, Killer Kelly, Isla Dawn, Charlie Morgan, and Nina Samuels. I am pretty sure that Viper aka Piper Niven from MYC has signed back with ITV to do World of Sport, even though she reportedly got out of her first contract with them. So don't expect her.

Don't have a large knowledge of UK talents but does anyone have an idea of what the UK women's division might look like? To add onto everyone else's suggestions, obviously I have to throw my recommendation behind a Knight Dynasty associate, so I'll say the standout would be Alex "Hail" Windsor, though she's probably not wrestling at all this year due to having the exact same knee surgery this news is seriously making me consider. I'd also say Kay Lee Ray is a given for this after they left her stuck in Florida for a month because Abbey Laith was being a jerk.
