WWE has officially announced the signing of five new talents for the NXT UK brand.\u00a0 The tag team of\u00a0Pretty Deadly (Lewis Howley & Sam Stoker)<\/strong>, women’s performers\u00a0Candyfloss\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Dani Luna\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Levi Muir\u00a0<\/strong>have all joined the UK branch of NXT.<\/p>\n

Candyfloss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"UK<\/p>\n

Candyfloss took part in the women’s only tryout in June of 2019.\u00a0 She’s a name that has been seen in NXT UK in the past as enhancement talent. The young woman\u2019s pink hair matches her sweet personality and usually happy and playful gimmick.\u00a0 Candyfloss has had a run in Japan with Stardom as well as working for some of the top companies in the UK like\u00a0PROGRESS Wrestling<\/strong>, Riptide Wrestling, <\/strong>and\u00a0Pro Wrestling: EVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Levi Muir<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Former powerlifter Levi Muir has also signed with NXT UK.\u00a0 The personal trainer has spent time training with Lance Storm\u00a0<\/strong>and is very much the more stereotypical WWE recruit with his athletic background.\u00a0 During his time on the indies, he worked a dark match for PROGRESS but also worked Kamikaze Pro\u00a0<\/strong>and BPW.<\/p>\n

Pretty Deadly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"NXT<\/p>\n

This tag team was just starting to make an impact on the UK indie scene in recent months.\u00a0 The duo joined\u00a0Do Not Resuscitate and are so far unbeaten in PROGRESS, were making an impact in\u00a0RevPro<\/strong> and are scheduled to make their Over The Top (OTT) Wrestling\u00a0<\/strong>debut soon.\u00a0 This tag-team on the rise will add to NXT UK’s tag division and should still be able to spend time in PROGRESS where they have been pushed as a top team.<\/p>\n

Dani Luna<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another talent just starting to make their mark Dani Luna is the final signee.\u00a0 Luna has worked as enhancement talent in the past for NXT UK and had a career year in 2019.\u00a0 2019 saw her become a regular with ATTACK! Pro Wrestling\u00a0<\/strong>and make her debut for PROGRESS Wrestling.\u00a0 She closed out the year by becoming the SOUL Women’s Champion to add to her Maiden Of Chaos and Celtic Crown Women’s titles.\u00a0 Luna was projected to be the replacement for\u00a0Toni Storm\u00a0<\/strong>as the biggest women’s star in the UK but now she makes her way to NXT UK to make an impact on the big stage.<\/p>\n
