History

{{main article|WWE brand extension}}

In a press conference at The O2 Arena on December 15, 2016, Paul "Triple H" Levesque revealed that there would be a 16-man tournament to crown the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion. The tournament was held over a two-day period, January 14 and 15, 2017, and aired exclusively on the WWE Network. The championship was intended as the top championship of a new WWE Network show, produced in the United Kingdom (the show and its premiere date had yet to be revealed by the WWE at the time).[3][4] Tyler Bate won the inaugural tournament to become the first WWE United Kingdom Champion.[5]

On May 19, 2017, WWE held a follow-up to the United Kingdom Championship tournament,[6] titled United Kingdom Championship Special.[7]

On April 7, 2018, a second United Kingdom Championship Tournament event was scheduled for June 18 and 19 at the Royal Albert Hall.[8][9] [10] On June 7, Johnny Saint was appointed General Manager of WWE's United Kingdom-based brand.[11][12]

On June 18, 2018, it was announced that WWE's United Kingdom-based brand would begin filming a new show titled NXT UK in July 2018, and that championships for the brand's women's and tag team divisions would be introduced.[13]

On October 11, 2018 the WWE announced that on October 17, 2018 that NXT UK will air on the WWE Network at 8 p.m. BT/3 p.m. ET. [14]
