It has been reported that former AEW star Bea Priestley has signed with WWE and will be joining the NXT UK roster shortly. It was first alluded to when Priestley left the STARDOM promotion in Japan earlier this year.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote that Priestley was heading to the promotion. Dave Meltzer confirmed that the partner of Will Ospreay has headed back to the United Kingdom and will be confirmed as an NXT UK Superstar shortly.
Bea Priestley To NXT UK
Meltzer wrote “although because of WWE rules, nobody can say anything until the company announces it, but Bea Priestley is almost surely headed to NXT U.K.”
Bea Priestley was with AEW until August 2020, where she was released due to the travel restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to this, Priestley was working with New Japan and her aforementioned partner Will Ospreay as part of his United Empire stable; this was before making her final appearances for STARDOM as part of a farewell.
