When will NXT UK return?

NXT UK television tapings and live events have been definitely postponed since March due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Television tapings of RAW, SmackDown and NXT in the United States have been able to proceed. However in the UK, due to Government guidance and the subsequent lockdown, WWE have been unable to continue taping episodes of NXT UK.

However, it was reported by SportsKeeda's Gary Cassidy in June that WWE does have "tentative plans" on taping content for NXT UK in the coming months.

NXT UK Superstars have continued to work during the break between television tapings. It has been reported that NXT UK talent has been utilizing video calling software to complete acting seminars and "skull sessions."

With certain lockdown measures easing in the United Kingdom, it could be assumed that we will hear some news about NXT UK's future in the coming weeks.

When do you think NXT UK will return to our television screens?
