NXT UK's September 'relaunch'
NXT UK has been effectively on hiatus since March due to COVID-19 lockdown and quarantine in the United Kingdom. However, it was announced last month that plans were in place for NXT UK television tapings to return in September from BT Sport Studios in London, England. BT Sport is WWE's main broadcast partner in the United Kingdom.
NXT UK founder Triple H recently went into greater detail about the return of NXT UK and the potential permanent move of television tapings to BT Sport Studios going forward during an interview with The Metro:
"That is the intent and the hope. BT has been – I can’t say it enough – an amazing partner. ‘When you look at that studio, it’s perfect for what we do – but they are perfect for what we do. They have been a leader in changing the game in sport across all of Europe and, really, globally."
"They have once of the most technologically advanced studios in the world.’ Initially, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic will still be felt with a closed set, and parts of the NXT UK team behind the scenes working remotely."
Triple H also discussed the desire for NXT UK to tape their programming regularly from BT Sport Studios going forward and eventually even bring back live fans to the television tapings in the future:
"It’s an amazing facility. The intent is for us to be able to in there long term to be able to create this content, and I think if later down the line, we get to a place where fans can come in – obviously we’d be thrilled and excited."
