Beth only has passion for one thing in all of WWE, and it ain't NXT UK or Edge.

The closure of NXT UK would suck for the talent because a whole bunch of people would lose their jobs.
The indie scene would get bigger overnight over here though.
They would also be absolute idiots to let go of Meiko alone never mind dozens of others like Nina Samuels, Jinny, Millie McKenzie, etc.

And now Tyler Bate shows up holding a belt he hasn’t officially won yet. I think we’re packing up and going home, folks. That's crazy. The kind of thing that might have happened in the 90s, maybe that was hbk's instructions, make it like the 90s but with less drugs.

I don’t think Tyler, Blair and Gallus showing is a sign NXTUK is closing down but rather it may be a set up for Worlds Collide 2 and have it take place the weekend of Clash in the Castle, sure they could sell a decent amount of tickets for the Motorpoint Arena in a couple of weeks

My gut feeling is that, if it’s happening, it’ll be at the PC.

I wonder who's winning that NXT UK title tournament. They should disqualify Bate for stealing the belt.

They would also be absolute idiots to let go of Meiko alone never mind dozens of others like Nina Samuels, Jinny, Millie McKenzie, etc. I'm not exactly sure they'd lose the job really. A majority would just be sent to American brands, and even if they did lose their gig.. Aren't they making very little anyway? Like the whole point of NXT UK was to kill off the UK indie scene after PROGRESS became massive and a World of Sport reboot was put in the works. I'm sure they'd all be fine long term.

It's one of the reasons why NXT UK had like no cuts during the pandemic.

Like people who just work in a generic office setting were making more money than them, and they weren't having to take bumps for a living.

The way that NXT UK was constructed, everyone was still working indies because they weren't actually being paid that much. They got paid to show up and wrestle, and then maybe a bit on top of that to make sure they only worked where WWE said they could work. They never cared about locking people down, just about drawing division lines in the scene. There were limits on what promotions people could be booked for and for talents they could be booked against, and even for companies WWE got in bed with, people could be yanked off any card at any moment because they were suddenly booked for a taping and that had to take priority.
The real reason it hasn't been slashed yet is probably because there really isn't much money being spent. People are getting paid dirt to work tapings that technically provide them with content, and it's just been allowed to sail by.

The irony of NXT spoiling an entire tournament after kicking out fans for spoiling their tapings during the pandemic era.

It's one of the reasons why NXT UK had like no cuts during the pandemic. We're talking about the UK, the home of the zero-hour employment contract. There may be a whole bunch of talent that _might_ qualify for a NXT contract, but not nearly as many of them are going to get one as some may think. The vast majority of them will likely be cut loose (once the axe falls on NXT UK as a whole.) I would think that Nick Khan has crunched the numbers and found that NXT UK is no longer needed for the purpose it was "off-the-label" designed for, and has suggested/advised strongly that it be wound down. Last night seemed to add a great deal of fuel to the fire causing the smoke surrounding its possible folding. Trips wants to save as many as he can, but he knows he can't bring everyone to Orlando.
