The first Worlds Collide took place in January 2019 and the theme was NXT vs. NXT UK vs. 205 Live. A second Worlds Collide during WrestleMania weekend this year added Raw and SmackDown to the brand battle. This upcoming Worlds Collide won’t include 205 Live, likely because the 205 Live roster has been thinned out and a lot of the wrestlers, like Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush, can be placed under the NXT banner anyway.
From WWE.com:
On the eve of the 2020 Royal Rumble event, the stars of NXT and NXT UK will clash for brand supremacy at WWE Worlds Collide 2020.
The WWE Network special, taking place at Houston’s Toyota Center on Jan. 25, 2020, will feature Superstars like NXT Champion Adam Cole, WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER, NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray, The Undisputed ERA, Imperium and more.
Tickets for this must-see event will be available at NXTTickets.com starting next Friday, Dec. 6 at 10 a.m. local time. Don’t miss your chance to see Worlds Collide live and in person during Royal Rumble weekend!
