If you missed yesterday’s first round in the UK Tournament, you missed some world-class pro wrestling. Luckily, you have the chance to rectify that with the second round this afternoon, which will reportedly feature a WWE favorite.
According to a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet’s James McKenna, Neville is set to compete in this afternoon’s show.
The second round is set to feature the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final to crown the first ever WWE UK Champion.
Neville’s match will likely fill time between tournament matches. We don’t yet know who Neville’s opponent will be, but McKenna promises the opponent will be a cause for excitement.

Since Wade Barrett is no longer with the company, Neville is undoubtedly WWE’s biggest English name. As they attempt to build further stars in the UK through this tournament–and with a rumored weekly show to follow–it makes all the sense in the world to draw as many eyes as possible through the appearance of someone like Neville.
Today’s show will see the winner of Tyler Bate vs Jordan Devlin take on the winner of Trent Seven vs Wolfgang for a spot in the tournament finals. The other side of the bracket features Mark Andrews vs Joseph Conners and Pete Dunne vs Sam Gradwell. One of these eight men will be crowned WWE UK Champion.
The finals of the UK Tournament air at 3PM Eastern/8PM GMT. Will you be checking it out? Let us know in the comments, or on Facebook!
