WWE NXT Coming To Download Festival - UK Tour Dates Announced
Wrestling's hottest brand returns to the UK this June.
TakeOver: Dallas may have been a new height for NXT, but the brand's not about to start coasting.
The WWE developmental league has announced a new series of shows for the United Kingdom and Ireland this June, and stars Finn Balor, Bayley, Baron Corbin, and Shinsuke Nakamura have already been confirmed as appearing, according to the promotional material (see above).
Of course, all cards are subject to change but it's interesting to note Finn Balor's inclusion in the promos given the expectation that he may be going to the main roster soon afterWrestleMania 32.

NXT matches will run alongside performances by bands such as Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, and the stars of the brand will also be available for autograph signings.
