It was confirmed by WWE in December of 2020 that Ben Carter signed with the company and would be a part of the NXT UK brand going forward. Carter made his NXT UK debut in January and he challenged Jordan Devlin for the NXT Cruiserweight Title.
He is currently on a two match win streak but as of today’s edition of NXT UK, Carter underwent a name change and will now be known as “Nathan Frazer”.

On the 3/11 NXT UK show on the WWE Network, Piper Niven and Jack Starz defeated Jinny and Joseph Conners in the main event. A promo segment for Ilja Drajunov was promoted for next week’s show which will start at 4 PM EST instead of 3 PM. The current NXT UK Champion WALTER is going to make a statement on 3/18.
