WWE cancels July NXT UK tapings due to coronavirus pandemic
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, NXT UK’s television tapings that were scheduled to take place in Glasgow, Scotland next month have been canceled.
The tapings were supposed to be held at Braehead Arena in Glasgow on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25. The arena wrote about the cancellation of the shows: “NXT UK Live events scheduled to take place on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25 at Braehead Arena, Glasgow, have been cancelled. Ticketholders will be contacted by their ticket providers shortly.”
NXT UK hasn’t held an event since their tapings in Coventry, England on March 6 and March 7. Those tapings were supposed to lead into NXT UK TakeOver: Dublin on April 26, but that show has been postponed to October 25.
During a conference call prior to NXT TakeOver: In Your House, Triple H said WWE is still as committed to NXT UK and their United Kingdom Performance Center as ever. He said their wrestlers can’t wait to be given the green light to get back to what they love to do.
