2020 WWE Network event
NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II was a 2020 professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by the American promotion WWE. It was the third and final NXT UK TakeOver event, and subsequently the second and final NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, and took place on 12 January 2020 at the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network and was held for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT UK brand division.
Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Walter defeated Joe Coffey by submission to retain the WWE United Kingdom Championship. In other matches, Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) defeated Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel), Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake), and Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster in a four-way tag team ladder match to retain the NXT UK Tag Team Championship, and Kay Lee Ray retained the NXT UK Women's Championship by defeating Toni Storm and Piper Niven in a triple threat match.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March 2020, the next scheduled NXT UK TakeOver event, NXT UK TakeOver: Dublin, was ultimately canceled and although WWE resumed live touring in July 2021 after COVID travel restrictions were loosened, no further NXT UK TakeOver events were scheduled. The NXT UK brand itself was dissolved in September 2022 for an eventual relaunch as NXT Europe.
