5 HUGE WWE NXT UK Prelude Predictions You Need To Know

Bea Priestley. She should have a debut vignette play during NXT UK Prelude.

It just makes sense. She's recently departed both New Japan Pro Wrestling and World Wonder Ring Stardom, the latter of which had been a home promotion for Priestley for the last couple of years.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer noted how she's not going to be returning to All Elite Wrestling, but how she will be going to a promotion that she isn't allowed to outright name as of yet. Surely, this would allude to WWE.

Now, yes, the former World of Stardom Champion would work perfectly in any of WWE's women's division, it's NXT UK's division that needs a name of her magnitude to fill some gaps. There's money to be made in Priestley vs. Io Shirai, for example, but this will come in time.

For starters, Priestley needs to work her way through the women on offer at BT Sports Studios. By having her face (and, most likely, defeat) the likes of Piper Niven, Dani Luna, and Jinny, you're establishing the former AEW star as a legitimate threat for WWE going forward.
