WWE Bringing in Indy Stars for WrestleMania Week Matches

You might remember them. Over the winter, one of the biggest stories in wrestling was the WWE United Kingdom Championship tournament. The two day event brought in sixteen names to compete for the inaugural title. It also started discussions of bringing in a variety of other wrestlers for WWE. While nothing new has been created, a lot of the names will be brought in for Wrestlemania Axxess.

According to WWE.com, the UK stars as well as some fresh names will be brought in for matches at Axxess. Here is the schedule for the series of shows:

Plus, returning NXT Superstar Hideo Itami and many others will be in action.

Opinion: Axxess is one of the highlights of the Wrestlemania weekend (assuming you don’t mind standing in some mind numbing lines). This is the kind of surprise that makes it feel more interesting and that’s always a good thing. I’ve been to Axxess three times, I’ll be going again this year and I’d take a look at these matches.
