NXT UK held their latest episode this past Wednesday. The UK brand had been slow to start but following a stellar Takeover: Blackpool event there is a lot more buzz surrounding the product.

Two matches have already been confirmed for next week’s show. The first will see Ligero taking on Mark Andrews. Both men are highly regarded light heavyweight talents in the UK, both men are former PROGRESS World Champions and have been performing for independent promotions across the UK/Europe over the past decade.

Xia Brookside has also been confirmed for a return next week. The female Superstar is an impressive performer in her own right but also has wrestling in her blood. Xia’s father is NXT Performance Center trainer and UK wrestling legend Robbie Brookside.

In the main event WALTER will be taking on Mark Coffey. The Gallus member ran into WALTER during this week’s episode and now the Austrian behemoth will get his hands on the ICW star. When WALTER appeared at NXT UK’s Takeover event it completely changed the landscape of the brand. WALTER is a top performer in the European scene and he looks set to continue his independent dates as PROGRESS World Champion, he is also being scheduled for the wXw 16 Carat Gold tournament later this year.
