WWE promoted the show in the official announcement as an NXT vs. NXT UK show in a “clash for brand supremacy.” The Observer Newsletter reports that WWE sources have stated the show will be built around NXT vs. NXT UK matches that the fans have never been able to have the chance to see before. Additionally, the show has reportedly been in the works for a few months, and it was planned long before WWE decided to run with a similar concept for Survivor Series 2019.
