The UK’s annual rock and metal event, Download Festival, gets to be the site for the First Round of the WWE U.K. Championship Tournament.
Download Festival is a three-day event running from June 8 until June 10 at Donington Park, Derby, England.
Winners of those matches get to move to London’s Royal Albert Hall on Monday, June 18 to compete for the chance to take on current UK Champion Pete Dunne on Tuesday, June 19.
Alongside the UK Tournament at Royal Albert Hall, Day One will have a six-man tag match between British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Trent Seven & Tyler Bate) and The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong). Day Two will not only have Dunne’s title defense against the winner of the U.K. Tournament but will also feature Championship matches for the NXT North American, NXT Women’s and NXT Tag Team Titles.
