After years of stop-and-go chatter, NXT Europe might actually be on the horizon. WWE fans have waited since the shutdown of NXT UK in 2022 for real movement, and now it looks like that wait could finally be over.
According to PWInsider Elite, there’s been internal talk within WWE that plans are being lined up to launch NXT Europe later this year. The report follows a wave of UK Performance Center tryouts that brought in top names from across the continent.
Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque recently commented on the brand’s status during an interview with The Daily Mail, making it clear the idea never died. “It is,” he confirmed when asked if NXT Europe is happening. “I’m still a big believer that the UK was going to work. The product was there, the interest level was there—the pandemic squashed it.”
Triple H mentioned that the brand is about more than just expansion—it’s about developing international talent the right way. “It’s as if you have an instrument but no one is teaching you how to play it and you’re just trying to start a band,” he explained. “But if you have somebody teaching you, showing you the ropes… it makes it so much easier. That’s what this is about.”
With fresh scouting underway and backstage discussions heating up, it looks like WWE might finally deliver on a project that’s been teased for nearly half a decade.
