WWE has announced that they will hold the first-ever NXT UK Takeover event in 2019.
NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool goes down on Saturday, January 12 at the Empress Ballroom and will air on the WWE Network, and there will be a TV taping the following day on Sunday, January 13. Tickets go on sale this Monday at 10 am for both shows at Live Nation. The Mirror first reported the news (h/t to WrestleTake).
“Two years ago, we told you we were coming to the UK to help you build your empire,” Triple Hsaid. “Well you have done it, because here we stand today – NXT UK is one of the hottest brands on the planet – because of you. You have made this a success across the board. The reaction to it has been off the chart.
“Talent from around the world are begging to come into NXT UK, because it is one of the hottest things this industry has ever seen. We are going to go back to where it all began – Blackpool.”
