As was reported earlier today, NXT UK’s next set of tapings this weekend in Birmingham, England at Insomnia Festival will feature the crowning of the first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion. While a number of Women Superstars were featured in the announcement, it had yet to be revealed how exactly the first champion would be determined.

WWE has now announced that this weekend’s shows will see a two day tournament with the winner becoming the first titleholder. Also, two more names have been added to the mix as Nina Samuels and Millie McKenzie will both be participating:

A two-day tournament will determine the first-ever NXT UK Women’s Champion this Saturday and Sunday at the NXT UK tapings at Insomnia, the U.K.’s biggest gaming festival, at NEC Birmingham. The combatants battling to become the inaugural champion will include Toni Storm, Jinny, Isla Dawn, Millie McKenzie, Nina Samuels, Dakota Kai, Rhea Ripley and Xia Brookside.

Although the NXT UK tapings are taking place at the festival, tickets to both Saturday and Sunday’s NXT UK events are available separately from the festival tickets and you do not need a ticket for Insomnia Gaming Festival to attend the tapings.

The events will be taped as part of the upcoming NXT UK series featuring the greatest competitors from the United Kingdom and Ireland.
