– WWE are reportedly unlikely to move ahead with plans to launch NXT Europe:

“I just keep thinking like remember when they closed NXT UK? This was a couple of years ago now and they were going to immediately re-open NXT Europe and then they fired almost everyone —

Most of the people that worked NXT UK were fired, and I thought if you’re going to do NXT Europe like you say, why are you firing people? They were under $25,000 a year contracts, it’s not like they were paying giant money to these people. The cost saving was negligible. Other people were telling me they’re never gonna do this Europe thing, they say it because they didn’t want to admit to shutting down the UK thing because the UK thing was their original idea to offset that ITV show —

I always hear “we’re doing the European thing,” but its been years now, and I’m hearing less now than I heard years ago that they are. —
Maybe someday we’ll hear about it, but now there’s new ownership, maybe they are not down with that.” (source: Dave Meltzer via Wrestling Observer Radio)
