So does this mean that the talent will progress from this to the main roster? Or will they be on this forever?
And what about the current Brits that are on NXT? (Pete Dunn, Moustache Mountain etc) Will they be moved to this show?

I think NXT UK will be a feeder to regular NXT... though it's pretty funny (and great) that Nixon Newell skipped this where if she signed now, she'd be in NXT UK.

I imagine they will be moved and that Dunne will be the kick-off centerpiece of the brand. Kinda figured their appearances on the showing coming more often as of late meant they were getting prepped for something, just wasn't sure what. Now my question is, does this mean they're going to be more reigned-in now and working exclusively for the NXT brand or will they still have the funky contracts that let them work indies? Wonder what comes next though. You know they're dying to do some sort of NXT Asia, but not sure they're strong enough in any of those markets to carry it. |

Honestly, considering some of the talent signed and where they spread out, the fact that NXT right now would have no room for most of them and they also have a lot of relationships to keep good, it’ll probably be the latter. It also helps in that regard there aren’t that many NXT UK dates compared to how the other indies in the area have so it’s likely the talent’ll still work. |

If it's on the network they would have said so in press release.
That means they either have a TV partner they aren't ready to announce or they're trying to negotiate one.

I kinda find it funny that while Vince is obsessing over the main roster, taking talent from NXT, Hunter is slowly building his own NWA with NXT, NXT UK, 205, and a possible Women's show. Some day in the future, the NXT Champion and WWE Champion will have a match with a disputed finish, followed by HHH announcing that NXT is breaking off as its own company, recognizing the NXT title as a World title. |

According to James Drake, they can still work other indies. I'd imagine it might limit which ones a little, probably no appearances on anything with VOD. |

It seems to be more than people think considering places like OTT and Fight Club Pro (probably because that’s Trent Seven’s baby) allow for it with BSS and others regularly going there. |

So, Trips has basically given up ever running the Main Roster so he’s slowly creating his own wrestling brand using Vince’s money? That’s genius.

Adding more division seems unnecessary.
Expecting a Japanese show next.

Yeah, the WWE selling out when it gets their is more due to it being a novelty than something that is sustainable for a long period of time. Kinda why for years TNA always sold out it's London Shows. |

So does this mean the WrestleMania weekend Takeover events will be NXT vs. NXT UK events? Because that sounds like it could be fun.

Cable and PPV never really taking off there really limits the market and subscription streaming services don't appear to be doing any better. |

How about the Owens Twins? Are they still wrestling? They would be a good addition to the women's roster.

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? Fewer teeth.  |

So, let's list the possible UK roster. These are those that I assume are possibly signed to a deal based on them working these tournaments and other shows (Download), or scattered reports that they've been signed.
Amir Jordan
Ashton Smith
Dave Mastiff
James Drake
Joe Coffey
Joseph Conners
Jordan Devlin
Kenny Williams
Ligero
Mark Andrews
Mark Coffey
Morgan Webster
Pete Dunne
Travis Banks
Trent Seven
Tucker
Tyler Bate
Tyson T-Bone
Wolfgang
Zack Gibson
---
Charlie Morgan
Isla Dawn
Jinny
Killer Kelly
Nina Samuels
Toni Storm
That's a solid base, and that's without mentioning guys from the previous tournament who could still be signed (Dan Moloney, HC Dyer, Roy Johnson, Sam Gradwell, Saxon Huxley) or people from the region working in other parts of the company (Danny Burch, Jack Gallagher, Noam Dar, Nixon Newell/Tegan Nox).

Here in Korea I doubt there's much popularity outside us foreigners. Unless BTS becomes something like the Spirit Squad. |
