Vince McMahon: “Yes, I Watched NXT UK TakeOver And Yes, It Was Awesome”
The sign of approval from the head honcho.
The NXT UK brand just wrapped up their first-ever TakeOver show. It was stated by NXT UK founder and senior producer Triple H during the post-show interview that the event was trending #1 in the United Kingdom and in the United States. The main event of TakeOver saw Pete Dunne successfully defend his WWE United Kingdom Championship against Joe Coffey and at one point during the match, the crowd inside the Empress Ballroom began chanting in unison, “Are you watching Vince McMahon?”
Apparently, the head honcho of WWE was tuned into TakeOver as he tweeted about the show once it was over and noted, “Yes, I watched #NXTUKTakeOver. Yes, it was awesome.”

To close the show, Pete Dunne stood tall in the middle of the ring as his 600-day reign as WWE United Kingdom Champion continued but Pete’s celebration was put on hold by the current PROGRESS World Champion WALTER and to read more on that, check out Fightful’s published article on the topic.
