That, and all the highlights from the Feb. 7 Vengeance Day fallout episode.
When WWE announced that their NXT UK brand was going on “hiatus” last summer, the members of that London-based roster who were kept on the payroll started showing up in Florida and working for the developmental program’s flagship show on Tuesday nights.
In the months after the two brand’s titles were unified at September’s Worlds Collide event, however, a number of those talents stopped appearing on NXT. But over the past several weeks, many have returned — like new Tag champs Gallus.
Reportedly, many of those absences were due to visa issues. Those seem to have been addressed for the most part now, and the Feb. 7 edition of NXT proved it. The recently returned Tyler Bate threw down a challenge to the “suspended” Grayson Waller. Ilja Dragunov showed up for the first time since Halloween Havoc to start a new chapter in his rivalry with JD McDonagh. And while she didn’t appear on camera this week, the legendary Meiko Satomura will be on hand next week to tag with NXT Women’s champ Roxanne Perez.
It all makes for a very crowded roster as we head toward April 1’s Stand & Deliver event — and this before another international star shows up once his visa status is cleared up. Will the former NXT UK stars head to NXT Europe whenever that launches? Should we expect call-ups, or releases?
Questions for another day, perhaps. For now, enjoy this playlist of Dragunov’s return, Perez’s announcement, and all highlights & fallout videos from last night’s show:
