The Heritage Cup Tournament is coming to NXT UK

WWE.com

NXT UK is re-starting with new episodes beginning next Thursday, Sept. 17. What better way to kick things off than with a tournament?

With that in mind, the Heritage Cup Tournament has been announced by WWE:

In the coming weeks, eight Superstars will compete in a tournament contested under British Rounds rules.

The field includes Flash Morgan Webster, Noam Dar, Alexander Wolfe, A-Kid, “The Bomber” Dave Mastiff, Trent Seven, Joseph Conners and a final wildcard entrant yet to be determined.

The British Rounds rules are as follows:

All matches consist of six three-minute rounds.
All matches are 2-out-of-3 Falls.
Falls can won be won by pinfall, submission or count-out.
Once a fall occurs, the round ends.
The match ends once a wrestler has won two falls.
In the event of a disqualification or knockout, the match instantly ends without the need for two falls.
If all six rounds are completed, whomever is ahead on falls wins the match.
There will be a 20-second break between each round.

Following the tournament, the NXT UK Heritage Cup will be defended as a championship under the same rules.

Who do you think will be the first ever winner of the NXT UK Heritage Cup?
