Earlier this today WWE announced via NXT UK’s twitter that over the upcoming weeks, 8 UK competitors will compete in the first ever NXT UK Heritage Cup.
The competitors announced so far to compete under “British Round Rules” were Flash Morgan Webster, Noam Dar, Alexander Wolfe, A-Kid, “The Bomber” Dave Mastiff, Trent Seven and Joseph Conners with a final wild card entrant to be named later.
The British Round Rules were broken down as such
- All matches consist of six three-minute rounds.
- All matches are 2-out-of-3 Falls.
- Falls can won be won by pinfall, submission or count-out.
- Once a fall occurs, the round ends.
- The match ends once a wrestler has won two falls.
- In the event of a disqualification or knockout, the match instantly ends without the need for two falls.
- If all six rounds are completed, whomever is ahead on falls wins the match.
- There will be a 20-second break between each round.
They also announced that the winner will be able to defend The Cup as a championship under the above mentioned rules.
Is this the UK’s answer to Raw Underground? Who will be the last entrant announced? We will all have to tune in as NXT UK returns to The WWE Network Thursday, September 17th.
