Update to WWE’s UK Show Debut Status

As previously reported, the WWE will be debuting their new United Kingdom show for the WWE Network later this week. While it was originally revealed to be debuting this Thursday, the WWE announced earlier today the debut episode has been pushed back to Friday, May 19th.

According to the Wrestling Observer, the official reason was due to two matches on the card being tied into the UK Championship match for NXT Takeover: Chicago. As a result, the WWE decided to push the debut back a day and at a new time to better promote the upcoming NXT special.

The show will now debut at 3PM EST on the WWE Network with a replay at 8PM EST. The card itself will have four matches headlined with Mark Andrews vs Tyler Bate match for the UK Championship. The rest of the card will be Pete Dunne vs Trent Seven #1 Contendership match for the UK Championship, Wolfgang vs Joesph Conners match, and Rich Swann & Dan Moloney vs Brian Kendrick & TJP tag match.
