This is the second time that Walter will defend his title in 2020 as he retained the belt against Joe Coffey at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II. Walter first won the belt at NXT TakeOver: New York last April and among the three men who have held the belt, Walter is second all-time in days as champion, still roughly a year from threatening Pete Dunne's record of 685 days as champion.
It was also announced on NXT UK that Toni Storm and Kay Lee Ray will face off in an I Quit Match for the NXT UK Women's Championship on February 27. If Storm loses the match, she can no longer challenge for the title so long as Ray holds the belt.
Also announced for next week is a tag team match between The Hunt and Grizzled Young Veterans.
