WWE has announced that NXT UK, a new weekly episodic series featuring the greatest male and female competitors from the UK, will stream on WWE Network on Wednesdays beginning October 17th at 8pm BT/3pm ET. This is an attempt by WWE to rival ITV's World of Sport relaunch but it would have been a much smarter move for the company to launch this on regular television in the country.

Regardless, the one-hour episodes will feature the biggest names from NXT UK, including Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews, Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven and Wolfgang. Joining the NXT UK broadcasting team as 
backstage interviewer is Radzi Chinyanganya, best known for hosting ITV gameshow Cannonball. Calling the action are commentators Nigel McGuinness and Vic Joseph.

They'll be joined by ring announcer Andy Shepherd and NXT UK General Manager The Legendary Johnny Saint. "NXT UK is the next step in our global localization strategy, and we are proud to do this in a place where WWE has had a special relationship for more than 30 years," said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, today.
