Come to the main roster? Do you ever seen Dunne, Bate, or Seven coming to the main roster full time? Or do you think they'll stay part time exclusive to NXT?

I think if I were any of the UK guys, I would be rather pissed right now.
They sign WWE contracts, and do the UK tournament special last January. Then a few of the main guys do NXT TV taping matches around Wrestlemania time, and then Bate vs. Dunne happens at a lesser NXT Takeover show, and then a few of them get to do NXT TV taping matches at SummerSlam time frame.
How can they not have a TV show yet on the WWE Network when the WWE in fact OWNS THAT NETWORK?!?! There should be a weekly TV show by now showcasing those UK guys but there isn't. Does the WWE UK Title even mean anything at this time??

Does the WWE UK Title even mean anything at this time?? I think there are more logistics involved than owning the TV time. It seemed like the intention was to run a weekly show within the UK shortly after the tournament but that fell through, and I doubt they would want to tape a UK show out of the performance centre in Orlando. To be honest, it seems like they jumped the gun on creating this new division. Personally if they can't get a show off the ground then they might as well integrate who they've signed into the main roster and rebrand the UK Championship as the European Championship so more guys can go for it. Then again, the US Championship doesn't play by those rules so it doesn't really matter what the belt is called I suppose. |

There wasn't really too much to write home about with the U.K. Guys. Bate is good, Trent Seven has some charisma, Mark Andrews would be good on 205 Live, Pete Dunn is an ok wrestler but he's very generic and overrated. All the other guys came off like a created wrestler in a video game. In the interview parts of the tournament I felt like all of them kept giving the same interview.

The only guys I see making it are Dunne and Bate, but they will probably flounder on the main roster because of their size.
There was no huge plan for these UK guys anyways. If they wanted a weekly show it would have happened already. They just wanted a reason to wipe out the UK Indie scene because it was on fire at the time. They also wanted to get guys under contract so they wouldn't go to world of sport and use them for NXT to garner a bit of buzz.
But from what I see right now those guys are still able to work Progress and ICW, but I think World of Sport is off limits.

HHH said it wasn't to do with the wrestlers or the network, but it was to do with getting the crew over here to actually produce the event when their live events crew is used over there all week.
I'm going to RAW on 6th November, and I'm going to be disappointed if I don't see Tyler Bate or Pete Dunne.
They should produce another special while they're over here.

No, they should stay in NXT since they won't be crucified like they would be on the main roster.

Last I heard plans were to try and start tapings some time in December.
It's not like WWE can click their fingers and start a weekly fully functioning UK division. They're already running RAW, SmackDown Live and NXT tours weekly and getting venues, production teams, equipment ready overseas must take time.
Sure Progress or ICW could help but WWE will want it to look like WWE. Also the Tournament in January apparently didn't bring in as much as they were hoping for, so finding a way to make a profit off of it will take some sorting out as well.

Filming a show, especially overseas, costs a lot of money.

Maybe Bate and Dunne. Don't think Seven has the look WWE is interested in. Looks like ye chubby mate down at the pub with a top tier beard.

Does the WWE UK Title even mean anything at this time?? It's a budget thing. WWE slashed a lot of things from the budget, and the cash to start up another new Network show (an expensive one at that) vanished. Also, none of these guys appear to be under exclusive contracts. I'm sure that's something they'll want to do before putting them on a weekly TV show. It's similar to Ciampa and Gargano a couple of years ago. They were used on NXT, but were never really prominently featured until they signed exclusive deals. |

Why don't they have the U.K. Division exclusive to SDL?

Why don't they have the U.K. Division exclusive to SDL? Smackdown doesn't even use half of its talent regularly as it stands. Not to mention, it would turn out exactly like the Cruiserweight division. |

Why don't they have the U.K. Division exclusive to SDL? SDL doesn’t have the time/space for an additional division. It’s only a 2-hour show. |

If WWE cannot afford Pyro even for their PPVs, what makes them able to start a brand new show in another country that won't attract any new subscribers? |
