NXT UK Title Match Set For 10/29, Heritage Cup First Round And Tag Team Match Announced For 10/15

WALTER is set to defend his NXT UK title in three weeks.

The NXT UK Champion will be defending his belt against Ilja Dragunov on the October 29 episode of NXT UK, a match that had been in the making throughout the year. Dragunov won a battle royal earlier this year to become the No. 1 contender to WALTER's title, but never got his title shot due to the pandemic.
