WWE Looking To Launch NXT Europe, Recruiting New Wrestling Talent

With a brand new 10-year streaming deal with Netflix now well underway, the higher-ups over at WWE know they have to keep the company and brand as relevant and popular as ever and are reportedly looking to expand their reach and are making moves to ensure that the WWE remain at the top of the wrestling world for the foreseeable future.




According to Newsweek, the WWE are looking into recruiting new wrestling talent from around the world as they look to reel in new fans from different countries and cultures in an effort to get the WWE brand to be as popular and relevant as ever. It's getting to the point where WWE officials are looking into kicking off an NXT Europe brand by the end of 2025 to attract European wrestlers into the fold before ultimately integrating them into the majors i.e. WWE's main roster.




Per Newsweek:




This potential new branch in Europe would follow several of WWE's recent attempts to attract more international wrestlers. These activities include the special UK Tryouts that WWE held while on its European tour in March 2025, which gathered many hopefuls.




From those tryouts, it has been reported that WWE found several wrestlers they are very interested in signing. Among these talents are Spanish wrestler Zozaya, Aigle Blanc from France, and Mike D. Vecchio, who represents Italy, along with other promising athletes who made an impression.




WWE's concept of NXT Europe is not a brand-new idea, as it builds on previous international efforts. For a while, the company has discussed creating a new training and development center based in the European region to nurture local talent.




We're sure there's popular European wrestlers licking their chops at the chance to make that jump to the timeless WWE brand at some point and showing Americans exactly what they're made of across the pond.
