WWE unveils NXT UK Women’s Championship title belt
With the inaugural champion being crowned this weekend, WWE has unveiled the design for the NXT United Kingdom Women’s Championship.
The title was shown to the audience at today’s NXT UK television tapings in Birmingham, England. It appears to be similar to the men’s UK title but with a white strap instead of a black one.
The first NXT UK Women’s Champion is being decided in a two-day, eight-woman tournament this weekend. Toni Storm, Jinny, Dakota Kai, Rhea Ripley, Xia Brookside, Isla Dawn, Millie McKenzie, and Nina Samuels are the participants in it.
WWE has yet to announce when and where the NXT UK series will be airing.
This weekend’s tapings are taking place at NEC Birmingham as part of the Insomnia gaming festival, and 2K Sports announced today that UK Champion Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate will be part of the roster for WWE 2K19. 2K also released video of Dunne and Bate’s entrances for the game.
