WWE Head of Creative Triple H and CEO Stephanie McMahon have been bringing back some released starts to the company and that might be the case with NXT UK talents as well. The company recently officially announcement of the launch of NXT Europe, with NXT UK becoming a chapter in the history books. Fox News reported that NXT Europe will “reimagine the brand and talent pipeline” with a renewed focus on Europe. NXT UK will be going on hiatus a few months. Several “NXT UK” stars appeared on “NXT 2.0” this week, it has now been revealed that the UK-based brand will be undergoing a revamp, slated to take place in 2023.
Triple H and Stephanie might open the door to NXT UK talents
It has been noted that the talent cuts saw 21 wrestlers and on-air talents part ways with WWE’s British brand, including Emilia McKenzie, Flash Morgan Webster, Amale, Wild Boar, Mark Andrews, Jack Starz, Dave Mastiff, Ashton Smith, Nina Samuels, and Sam Gradwell. However, their release might only be temporary.
According to PWInsider, “the door is open” to bring back some of the released talents when the forthcoming “NXT Europe” is up and running. However, fans shouldn’t expect to see former “NXT UK” stars back in the fold any time soon as the planned European offshoot is still a work in progress.
It is certain that there could be plenty of roster spots and opportunities available if “NXT Europe” marks the next stage of WWE’s long-rumored international expansion of its developmental system. In the past, WWE considered launching “NXT” brands in Japan, Canada, and India, and PWInsider speculated that it’s possible Triple H and co. could resurrect those plans down the line. We will have to see what is next for the talents.
NXT Worlds Collide, will take place on Sunday, September 4 that will feature stars from “NXT 2.0” and “NXT UK.”
