A fair appraisal from the NXT head honcho, as WWE's British brand as effectively "born" through January 2017's United Kingdom Title Tournament - a two-night affair also held in the Empress Ballroom.

The tapings also saw three bouts announced for TakeOver: Blackpool II. They are as follows:-

NXT UK's last TakeOver event, Cardiff, took place on 31 August. It was a night of critically acclaimed bouts capped by an awesome main event pitting WALTER against Tyler Bate, which drew a hefty *****1/4 rating from big Dave Meltzer and swathes of praise from all corners of the wrestling commentariat.
