The NXT UK brand has been on somewhat of a hiatus for a few months now due to the coronavirus pandemic. The weekly NXT UK show still airs on the WWE Network but they've been airing "Best Of" specials while they are unable to hold TV tapings. The NXT UK "Takeover: Dublin" event is still scheduled for Sunday, October 25 from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. It was originally scheduled for April 26, but had to be rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
There's no word yet no what the Heritage Cup is, or when they plan to announce a return to normal operations for the brand. Stay tuned for updates.
