More information about this live event has been revealed and it will reportedly be the first tapings for WWE’s new United Kingdom television show. This is according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer.

Metlzer noted the following: “It’s not clear if this [WWE’s new U.K. show] will air on the [WWE] network or on Sky [Sports], or somewhere else, but the idea was not for it to be a network show originally as it’s meant to get the jump on ITV running its weekly show, which is not official, but probable.”
