WWE UK Championship Renamed to the NXT UK Championship at NXT UK Tapings

The WWE United Kingdom Championship was officially renamed to the NXT UK Championship at tonight’s NXT UK tapings in York, England.

During the opening segment of the tapings, NXT UK Champion WALTER was presented with the “new” belt by NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint.

The belt essentially still looks the same, with the NXT UK logo now replacing the WWE logo.

Bit of a changed title design for the NXT UK Title. More of a name change than anything. #NXTUKYork #NXTUK pic.twitter.com/aCyarxP3Hy
