NXT Europe was recently announced to be the latest development territory of WWE and it started recently. This was an exciting news that WWE is producing a Europe based development territory which clearly means that there will be more opportunities for European wrestlers to shine in WWE.
Wade Barrett Gives His Opinion On The NXT Europe
But everything comes with a sacrifice. With the beginning of the NXT Europe, WWE is now closing the long running NXT UK which was previously the development Territory of WWE based on Europe. Recently WWE organized a pay per view event named Worlds Collide where they unified all the NXT UK championships with the NXT titles.
On the same day of the pay per view event took place, it marked the beginning of the NXT Europe. Most of the fans do not see any big changes with the introduction of the NXT Europe over NXT UK except of the change of the name.But it was definitely a big decision and we hope talents from Europe get benefited from this decision.
Wade Barrett who is also the winner of the WWE king of the Ring tournament of 2015 recently spoke to El Brunch de WWE where he talked about the newly founded WWE development territory NXT Europe and shared his take on it. He said;
“You know what? I found out this morning the same as everyone else [about NXT Europe]. I was working out and I suddenly got a memo sent through to my email account from WWE, hey, press release, just going out. Just so you guys know, I don’t know any more details than you guys. It was a surprise to me.
“I believe NXT UK is morphing into NXT Europe. What exactly that entails? I don’t know. How it’s going to play out? I don’t know. But I do know this, every time WWE makes a big change like they’re doing here with NXT UK, they always make things better. It’s never to make things worse. It’s always to make things bigger and better so I really don’t know the nuts and bolts of what NXT Europe is gonna involve, how it’s gonna be different to NXT UK but it’s exciting.
“I think there’s gonna be more opportunities to superstars all over Europe including, you know, not just the UK. Including Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Austria. There’s so many countries over in Europe and of course all over Eastern Europe too. You got Bulgarians and Romanians and there’s plenty of countries out there where they all love WWE.”
