10 Predictions For NXT After TakeOver: San Antonio
6. British Stars Debut
Fans were left with mixed emotions after the UK Championship Tournament. A terrific show of wrestling ended without any real explanation of the role these competitors would play on WWE television. Expect us to get some answers in the coming weeks and months.
The star of the event was the 19 year-old Tyler Bate who overcame the odds to be crowned the inaugural UK Champion, and though the belt may not become a mainstay on WWE television, expect the youngster to debut in Full Sail. This will hopefully be accompanied by a debut from Pete Dunne who garnered very positive attention from wrestling fans for his hard-nosed style, as well as other standouts like Trent Seven, Mark Andrews, and Wolfgang.
NXT needs another layer of depth as well as a renewed intrigue, and capitalising on the success of the UK tournament is the perfect way to put the wind back in the sails of the developmental brand.
