- Next, a vignette shows NXT UK's newest signee named Lucky Kid. His backstory is that he grew up in one of the poorest parts of Berlin. His hardships began when he was a young boy. He's always been the main caregiver for his family. His goal coming to NXT UK is to showcase the great strides he's made while also earning the respect he believes he's entitled to have.
