The NXT UK roster continues to grow, as new names are constantly introduced. On tonight’s show we saw a rookie backstage with Mila Smidt and Laura Di Matteo made her in ring debut, but the interest is on the soon to debut Blair Davenport. Showing up in a teaser video where she would sign her NXT UK contract, while keeping her exact identity a secret. Who could Blair Davenport be?
The Name Blair Davenport Was Trademarked Two Months Back
This name was in the works with WWE since at least early May, when WWE would apply for a trademark. Blair Davenport would be trademarked for the usual purposes, including merchandising. As far as WWE names go, it’s actually pretty good. However, it wasn’t attached to a talent until now.
There isn’t much doubt as to who this is. They walked up in a familiar looking coat, and carried themselves exactly like former World Of Stardom Champion Bea Priestley. She’s also known by some for being the girlfriend of Will Ospreay, who recently had to vacate the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship due to an injury.
Bea Priestley Was Expected To Sign With WWE In 2021
Adding to the speculation is that Priestley was expected to sign with NXT UK in 2021. She had finished up in Stardom after four years with the company, and not wanting to commit to moving to the United States to pick up where she left off with All Elite Wrestling, NXT UK was the best option.
She will now be joining one of the best Women’s Divisions in the world. Priestley will likely fill a role left by Kay Lee Ray, who is expected to be on her way to NXT, RAW or Smackdown following the end of her lengthy NXT UK Women’s Championship reign. Priestley developed a reputation that has been hard to shake off as being an unsafe worker, but her time in Stardom showed great improvement in the ring, and she will get to show that soon in WWE.
