Following last night’s NXT TakeOver: War Games II event on the WWE Network, Triple H participated in a media call. One of the things that Triple H talked about was WWE’s NXT UK brand, and he said that there will be a massive announcement while the company is in Liverpool, England next week.
Triple H had the following to say regarding NXT UK:
“Right now, as far as shows, we are focusing on the UK right now. You’ll see a lot of involvement in them obviously around WrestleMania weekend, whether that be via Axxess and creating content. As we come into the beginning of the year, you’re going to see that brand begin to grow again. We’ll have a big announcement coming up. We have shows in Liverpool next week. It is hard to keep track, they are coming fast and furious. When we are in Liverpool, we’ll be making a big announcement about the first quarter of the year.”
Triple H also talked about his desire to continue to improve the NXT UK brand and product, as they are still in its infancy. Triple H also mentioned that he isn’t completely happy with everything in the brand just yet.
“The brand has been wonderfully successful. It took us a while to get it rolling, we wanted it to be right. We had a few glitches on our side regarding the timing of it all, but now that it is up and running, Wednesday has been this massive destination site on the Network for NXT UK, NXT itself and 205 Live. The traffic has been amazing, the response to NXT UK is amazing, people love the show. It has the same gritty feel as NXT, yet feels wholly unique. It feels, while still in the same vein of what you love, slightly different, and that was the goal. I’m obviously not happy with everything about it, but we’ll change that. You’ll see that happen towards the beginning of the year.”
There is no official word on what the announcement that Triple H was teasing will be, but with him alluding to how the announcement will affect the first quarter of the year for the NXT UK brand, it has lead to some speculation or expectations that it could have something to do with an NXT UK special.
We will keep you updated if we hear anything more regarding the announcement that Triple H was teasing for their upcoming NXT UK tour next week.
