I'm a pretty big wrestling fan, but when NXT UK people show up, they are mostly treated as if we all know who they are, which is a mistake.

Imperium for example, I know Walter, and I know Wolfe from Sanity, but I wouldn't recognize Fabian if he was talking to me, and I can't even think of the other guy's name right now.

Kaylee Ray, had no idea who she was before she showed up on NXT like it was a huge deal.

I think WWE thinks they are using NXT UK people for star power, but most of them don't have any unless you really watch UK wrestling.

Pair that with putting the unknowns up against jobbers like the Forgotten Sons, well of course people are going to check out the alternative. I certainly did.
NXT UK pretty much took over NXT's spot of WWE ignoring its existence unless the brand is needed for a storyline or big reason.

Also doesn't help that WWE has been terrible at developing any sort of real bridge between the NXT brands and NXT with the main roster over the years.
