Wade Barrett Comments On NXT Europe

Notable dual British and American citizen Wade Barrett has commented on the transition from NXT UK to NXT Europe.

NXT 2.0 commentator Wade Barrett was a guest on El Brunch WWE where he spoke about his reaction to today’s announcement that NXT Europe was coming in 2023.

Barrett saying:

“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.”

The comments from Barrett came in advance of the later news of the day, that numerous NXT UK stars had been released by WWE.

NXT Europe was announced as planned to launch in 2023.
