I mean she knows she's signing with an openly corrupt company with little disregard for anyone working for them, and moving to somewhere as horrible as this place is insane, but I assume this is something to do with a Sendai Girls deal, but if it means new talent then whatever, hopefully they go the way of Deonna Purazzo and crew once they've just used up these morons high level resources and equipment for their own gain so NXT UK hopefully just goes the way it was meant to - away So what's wrong with living in the UK? im here and I can say IT'S TOO COLD and IT STINKS OF POO

Well, they had a promo on NXT UK basically confirming it.
And I still stand by what I said; good for her but sending her to NXT UK would be like signing Speedball Mike Bailey and sending him to FCW. It just feels wrong.

It just feels wrong. It was likely because it is the easiest and far shorter travel since she still runs her own promotion in Japan. She is probably gonna follow in how they use Walter occasional special appearances stateside but no permanent move is ever going to happen.

Hey, whatever the logistics are, she’s probably being paid well. As a fan, though? And after last summer? Just feels really gross.

Imagine wanting to hire Meiko Satomura for your wrestling promotion, someone who is world travelled and regarded as one of the best of her generation, and shoving her to your least important brand that wasn’t drawing when there were crowds. WWe acquires talent like I acquire games on the Steam Summer Sale, and that's not a good thing. They're like how I acquire graphic novels at Ollie's Discount Outlet!

NXT UK is so weird. It's like it's run by two separate people, one of whom really cares about putting on good wrestling, and the other of whom falls asleep whenever they even think about expending any effort to put on a good TV show.

Remember when WWE made documentaries and said LOL WCW cause they were paying 80s era wrestler 6 figures to part of giant 60 man battle royals and work the saturday night C show. Now WWE just signs some of the best seasoned intl star's to work on their Network exclusive streaming show that is probably the 6th or 7th most important show to the company and will be watched by a low 6 figure amount of fans worldwide.

Maybe she just wants to semi-retire and train in peace, and NXT UK is where there is a vacancy?
Aside from all the moaning about talent grabbing and wasting and blah blah, WWE is a corporate entity. They have vacancies, they need to fill them. Maybe she was told this job was there, she applied, and she got it?

If not for the pandemic, she'd probably be in the Royal Rumble. Damn COVID!

Glad they've moved away from their policy of only hiring sex criminals for the time being at least
