WWE

NXT UK, arguably the E-show of WWE (205 Live is the D Show), is having its second TakeOver event this Saturday, August 31. Much like NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool featured a surprise appearance from Finn Balor, it looks like NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff will feature a less surprisingly appearance from a European main roster superstar, Cesaro.

There are five matches on the Cardiff event, which is the same amount as TakeOver: Blackpool, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see a sixth match added to the card, especially if it could draw new viewers with the involvement of Cesaro. It’s also possible he gets the exact same treatment as Balor and replaces an NXT UK wrestler in a previously scheduled match. With whatever Cesaro will be up to still a mystery, here’s the NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff card so far:
