WWE NXT Global Heritage Invitational Tournament: Group A and B, Both Countries Spain and Japan

WWE Universe is buzzing with the announcement of a unique and exhilarating tournament that will determine the next challenger for Noam Dar’s Heritage Cup.

In an unexpected turn of events on NXT, Noam Dar overcame Nathan Frazer, securing the prestigious Heritage Cup trophy. The win, although marred by interference from the Meta-Four stable, sets the stage for an explosive WWE NXT Global Heritage Invitational Tournament.

Tournament Details Reveals

Fans’ excitement surged during WWE’s The Bump, where further light was shed on the tournament’s format. The invitational will embrace a round-robin structure. Eight dynamic participants, hailing from countries like Spain and Japan, will be split into two groups, Group A and Group B. In Group A Axiom represents Spain, While in Group B Akira Tozawa represents Japan.

Group A

• Charlie Dempsey (USA)
• Butch (England)
• Tyler Bate (England)
• Axiom (Spain)

Group B

• Joe Coffey (Scotland)
• Duke Hudson (Australia)
• Nathan Frazer (Channel Islands)
• Akira Tozawa (Japan)

Rules of the Game:

• Both groups will consist of four wrestlers each.
• Matches are capped at a 12-minute time limit.
• Wrestlers can earn two points from pinfall and submission victories. In case of a draw, both contenders will receive a point.
• The ultimate face-off will be between the winners of Group A and Group B on September 26. This victor will then challenge Noam Dar for the esteemed Heritage Cup at NXT No Mercy on September 30.

Starting next Tuesday, the tournament will officially begin on NXT. Fans should keep their eyes glued to NXT’s social media platforms over the next week for the announcement of the participants.

The Meta-Four Connection

Noam Dar’s win wasn’t without controversy. The interference of his Meta-Four compatriots – Oro Mensah, Lash Legend, and Jakara Jackson, undoubtedly played a part in his triumph over Frazer. This alliance adds another layer of intrigue as Dar readies himself for the impending challenge.

History

For those unfamiliar with the Heritage Cup, it stands as a testament to wrestling’s rich history. Traditionally contested under British Rounds rules, it originally emerged from NXT UK. However, in a move that caught many by surprise, Noam Dar relocated the title to NXT this past April, amplifying its global prestige.

A Date with Destiny at NXT No Mercy

Set against the backdrop of the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California, NXT No Mercy promises high-octane action. Wrestling aficionados worldwide can catch this epic showdown live on Peacock/WWE Network on Saturday, September 30.

With the WWE NXT Global Heritage Invitational Tournament on the horizon and the Heritage Cup at stake, the NXT Universe is brimming with anticipation. Which wrestler will rise to the occasion? Only time will tell.
