The mastermind behind the NXT success, Triple H, passionately aims to produce a traditional product with compelling action. As a result of the success of NXT, combined with the fanfare generated from the WWE UK tournaments, NXT UK made its official debut this year as a brand, and is featured weekly on the WWE Network.
To further expand the NXT UK product, Triple H announced that the TakeOver series will now include the first one from the UK brand, and it will be called NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool.
