NXT UK is welcoming fans back.
Early March 2020 was the last time NXT UK presented a show with fans in attendance. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the brand to move to the BT Sport Studios and empty-arena shows have been ran up to this point.
A press release was recently issued to announce the return of fans at NXT UK events starting October 14th. The shows are still taking place at BT Sports Studios and on that 10/14 return show, Ilja Dragunov is going to defend the NXT UK Championship against A-Kid.
