This is good news for NXT UK fans and wrestlers. It still doesn’t answer how soon until WWE starts producing new content for their United Kingdom brand.

NXT UK had a lot of things in the works, but now those angles might be nixed along with their TakeOver event and so many weeks of new content. At least WWE isn’t looking to cut the brand due to inactivity.
