The NXT invasion has stretched across the pond. During today’s SmackDown tapings in Manchester, NXT UK Champion Walter and his associates in Imperium assaulted several of the brand’s top tag teams. This includes The New Day, who had just regained the SmackDown Tag Team Championships from The Revival.

In other SmackDown taping news, Sasha Banks debuted a new theme song with lyrics by Snoop Dog. She won her match only to receive another beatdown by NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Bazler. It looks like NXT will continue to bring the fight to the main roster, even if they travel across the pond.
