In her most recent title defense, KLR retained the NXT Women’s Championship against Toni Storm in an I Quit match that was filmed in January and aired in February. As a stipulation of that match, Storm can’t challenge for the NXT UK Women’s title again for as long as KLR is champion.

The tapings for NXT UK’s return are being done at BT Sport studios in London, England with no fans in attendance. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these are NXT UK’s first events since March.
