NXT UK Champions History

He went on to hold the title for a record 870 days, one of the longest title reigns for a heavyweight title in the history of WWE and the longest in the 21st century. He was overcome by Ilja Dragunov in the fall of 2021 who had to relinquish the belt due to an injury in 2022, after about a year of holding it.
The belt was then won by Tyler Bate in a match against Trent Seven for the vacant championship, making Bate the first superstar to hold the title twice. At Worlds Collide, Breakker defeated Bate to unify the titles and become the unified NXT Champion.
