[10.0] "The single most prestigious main brand championship WWE has ever booked. This is how you make every single person who touches the belt walk away looking like a generational talent. Seriously, go find any title defense in this belts history and you'll find visionaries of the art being given a platform they never had access to prior and trying to fly at the sun."

[10.0] "I don't think there's been a single mad match for the NXT UK Title. Some are better than others, obviously, but this title has a really underrated legacy. The worst champion was probably Tyler Bate, but even then, he had some amazing matches. The best champion was probably WALTER, despite his hiatus during COVID, but that's justified. He put on classic, brutal, hard-hitting matches that just helped put his name further on the map. Each reign was so amazing in their own way, so I'm forced to give it the highest rating I can with stats like that."

[7.0] "Wanted to raise this title more than a 7 but for me it just never had the prestige that it could have had. Grant, having Walter hold it for so long helped its kudos but it was never given an outing at anything more high profile than an NXT Takeover show as far as I can remember. Perhaps im being too harsh here - aren't 2 of the top 5 WWE matches on the Cagematch Matchguide matches for this belt! ?"

[10.0] "There wasn't too many title reigns but basically all of them were long and amazing title reigns. Tyler Bate's first reign was an awesome, record setting reign, Pete Dunne was also a great champion holding the belt for over 600 days. Than Walter, Walter smashed Dunne's record with 870 days as NXT UK Champion and had some amazing title defenses. Dragunov also had an amazing reign but was cut when he had to relinquish due to injury. Than after Bate won it for a second time, he later lost it and the belt was then retired. Overall amazing belt"

[10.0] "It may have had a short lifespan, with only almost 5 years of existence, 4 champions, and 5 reigns, but the matches fought over it are the stuff of legend. Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne II, Pete Dunne vs WALTER, WALTER vs Tyler Bate, WALTER vs Ilja Dragunov I and II, Tyler Bate vs Trent Seven. Everyone who wore it felt like a star, and the belt looked gorgeous."

[10.0] "The greatest championship in my opinion. Banger after banger after banger, this title delivers so many good moments. I adore the design as well, but that does not effect my love for the matches produced fighting for the championship. This title is so amazing, I cannot believe these matches are real."

[9.0] "One of the most prestigious titles that I have seen in my life from beginning to end. The status of the trophy has been held all the years at the level of the main achievement in Britain and around the world. It all started with Tyler Bate and basically ended there, between these events we had a lot of matches of the year waiting for us: Bate/Dunne - Dunne/WALTER - WALTER/Dragunov x2 and Bate/Seven and many other super fights. In general, a very competently built belt where everyone approached the victory very correctly and each person received an increase in status from this and became a world-class star. Thank you for this wonderful time!"

[9.0] "Its such a funny title. The difference in the people who hold the title and the matches had compared to the actual brand itself is noticeable. Anywhere else in the world this title might be the highest rated on the site. All the big title matches are brutal and the things Walter and Ilja have done to raise its prestige even more the last few years deserves praise. But its the top prize in the pedo play house that is NXT UK so theyll never get the respect they have rightfully earned"

[9.0] "The design is great. One of the best Championship designs and the best looking belt in WWE. It established Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate and Dragunov as stars while WALTER was already the biggest name in independent wrestling. It has been contested in many great matches since its inception. The problem for the UK Title is that there isn't a lot of credible challengers."
TigerDiver wrote on 02.02.2022:
[10.0] "Very possibly, the best championship belt in the wrestling world today. Every single champion has been booked spectacularly, with numerous amounts of classics to back it up. The beautifully gorgeous design is the icing on the cake."
Childofthelost wrote on 13.01.2022:
[10.0] "WWE's top championship and frankly the NXT UK Championship is the best booked title in wrestling today period in my opinion. Every reign has been good, every champion has been booked strong and felt special. Just about every defense has been a match of the year contender. There is not enough good you can say about this one."
Divine Departure wrote on 05.01.2022:
[7.0] "It's by far the best looking belt in the WWE, and through excellent holders who give high quality defenses in mostly lengthy reigns, it's also one of the most prestigious. Though I can't really get behind it. NXT UK is a cold, cynical product that pretty much killed the British Indy scene. There's also the fact that since Tyler Bate's inaugural run, the title's changed hands three on three occasions, and all three took place in the USA. That's a sick joke."
Muggo wrote on 10.12.2021:
[10.0] "Despite being on WWE's 4th brand, The NXT UK Championship is the best title in WWE today. The belt looks prestigious, there have been countless great matches for it (And not a single bad match yet), and every reign has been memorable, and has elevated the belt and the wrestler up the totem pole."
No One wrote on 08.09.2021:
[10.0] "One of the best championship belts in pro wrestling today. Only 4 men have held this championship belt since it's inception in 2017. The reigns of Pete Dunne & WALTER built this championship belt into one of the most prestigious, respected, & extremely PROTECTED championship belts in the entire industry today. Not everybody will be getting their hands on this beautiful belt. Only the elite of the elite are worthy enough to hold this prized beauty, and Tyler Bate, Pete Dunne, WALTER, & now Ilja Dragunov (4 of the best in-ring performers in the world), fit that category. The quality of matches fought over this belt are already legendary & those matches will forever withstand the "Test of Time". Clearly the WWE NXT UK World Championship IS the WWE's greatest championship belt today."

[8.0] "The tournament to crown the first champions was good, very entertaining. It then went on to have superb matches over a long period, the only thing that really lowers the ratings for me is after you've had Bate Vs Dunne, then Dunne Vs Mark Andrews. The title started being defended against non UK talent which makes zero sense. There should be a rule in place that you have to either be born in the UK or be on the indie scene in the country example Travis Banks. But their title so I suppose they can book it how they like, Roderick Strong Vs Pete Dunne have good matches but shouldn't be for the title imo."
CHN325 wrote on 03.02.2018:
[6.0] "Started off strong with the UK Title tournament, but seems to have been lost in the shuffle since the WWE's plan of a UK show has kind of fizzled out. The belt is really well designed based on WWE's current template for belts. Can be defended outside WWE, which is cool. Been in some great matches since introduced."
steviecw wrote on 24.10.2017:
[8.0] "It's a good championship. It should be contested more often, either WWE should use it more on NXT/RAW/Smackdown/PPV or they should just give the champions more free reign to defend it as often as they want on UK indie shows. Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne are both amazing. There's potential for Drew Galloway or Jack Gallagher to represent this title on the bigger shows, it could be great transition for Drew once his NXT title reign wraps up. Hopefully the UK show will pick up some steam soon as presently the championship is languishing despite the obvious ability of all involved."
PistolPeteMatty wrote on 01.08.2017:
[10.0] "An excellent designed belt that has so far been contested for in some awesome matches not just in WWE, but in companies like ICW and Progress. If they keep booking this belt like it is, it'll be a game changer. It also doesn't hurt that one of the best matches of 2017 was over his belt, between Dunne & Bate NXT Takeover."
shosa94 wrote on 16.01.2017:
"Really great tournament to introduce this title, not as long as the CWC, but actually did more to create a roster of characters. No bad matches either, and two excellent ones, including the finals to crown the inaugural champion. Can't give it a score since we have no clue what the future holds and a two day tournament is its only past, but I could see this become quite prestigious. Not to mention the legions of UK talent that could chase this in the future (Zack Sabre Jr. might look incredible with this around his waist, as would Scurll, Ospreay, Galloway, etc. ). Also, the design is amazing, the best LOOKING belt WWE has now."
