Major WWE Star Reveals Scrapped Plans For NXT Return

WWE SmackDown star Kevin Owens has revealed there were plans for him to return to NXT and even appear in NXT UK last year.

Kevin Owens, who did appear at TakeOver: WarGames last year for a one-off, revealed that there was more planned for him on the yellow brand.

Speaking with Metro, Owens said:

“They’re all extremely talented guys, and I would love to compete with any of those guys. I kinda got to do a bit with Imperium last year, so that was cool. At one point there was a plan for me to go back to NXT at some point last year, which didn’t happen, obviously. But we had even discussed, maybe if that happens, then maybe I could show up on NXT UK and work with all these different people. I’d love to get to do that!

“The UK – all of Europe, really – I had a really fun time there as an independent wrestler and again touring with WWE. Any chance I would get to be there more and wrestle for those fans – if or when we get an audience back, or even in this setting. To be a part of that and help do good stuff over with NXT UK, I’d love that for sure.”

Owens is set to challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a TLC match this Sunday.
