There are heavy rumours doing the rounds on social media that Bea Priestley will soon debut on NXT UK as 'Blair Davenport'.

A mysterious vignette appeared on the brand's latest episode. It showed a robe-wearing woman approaching a briefcase - she then pulled a WWE contract out of it and signed the new Davenport name. Many fans on Twitter are already speculating that Priestley is Blair.

The former STARDOM and AEW star has been linked with the company for a while now.

Piper Niven, who has been renamed erm...Doudrop, recently left NXT UK to become Eva Marie's pal on Raw. That has left a hole in the women's division on UK, and some believe Bea is the one set to fill it; if so, then fans should look forward to matches between Priestley and the likes of Kay Lee Ray and reigning NXT UK Women's Champion Meiko Satomura.

Things didn't quite work out for Priestley in AEW, so she'll be looking to make a splash in WWE and prove she belongs at an elite (ahem) level.
