NXT UK joins in on WWE s WrestleMania week festivities with a special event airing today.
NXT UK: Prelude will be headlined by WALTER defending his NXT United Kingdom Championship against Rampage Brown. The match is airing just one day after WALTER s successful title defense against Tommaso Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver night one.
WALTER s reign with the NXT United Kingdom Championship recently reached the two-year mark. Brown is undefeated since arriving in NXT UK last November.
The next challenger for A-Kid s Heritage Cup Championship will be decided by a number one contender s match on NXT UK: Prelude. Tyler Bate and Noam Dar will face off in a Heritage Cup rules match. Trent Seven will be in Bate s corner, while Sha Samuels will be in Dar s corner.

Once again it’s back to the BT Sport studios in London, with Andy Shepherd and Nigel McGuinness on the call for a show that – at least in terms of what was advertised going in – was threatening to be very light on in-ring action.
Speaking of which, we open with Jordan Devlin in the ring, proclaiming NXT UK to be the home of the “real” Cruiserweight champion. He asks for a challenger… and we cut to Oliver Carter warming up backstage as Ashton Smith is giving him a pep talk.
