NXT UK TakeOver
NXT UK TakeOver was a series of periodic United Kingdom professional wrestling events produced by WWE, an American professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut. The events were produced exclusively for the promotion's NXT UK brand division, a sister brand of NXT based in the United Kingdom, and were livestreamed on the WWE Network.

NXT UK (WWE Brand)
NXT UK was a brand of the American professional wrestling promotion WWE that was introduced in June 2018. Brands are divisions of WWE's roster where wrestlers are assigned to perform on a weekly basis. Wrestlers assigned to NXT UK primarily appeared on the brand's weekly television program, ''NXT UK''.
