NXT has managed to establish itself as WWE's third brand, because even though it is the developmental territory, the quality in the ring and the interesting rivalries have put it on par with the main roster, with Raw and SmackDown Live needing to improve their level so as not to fall behind.
Today Triple H announced through his Twitter account that, in addition to returning to Download Fest, NXT would have its first tour in Europe (outside the United Kingdom) next June:
This summer, @WWENXT returns to the @DownloadFest from June 8-10…tickets available now.
…and for the FIRST TIME EVER, see #NXTLive in mainland Europe: #NXTParis 6/11 #NXTAntwerp 6/12
Tickets are on sale TOMORROW at 9am CET. #WeAreNXT

"...and for the FIRST TIME EVER, see an NXT Live in mainland Europe: NXT Paris, June 11; NXT Antwerp, June 12.
"Tickets go on sale TOMORROW at 9:00 am. WeAreNXT"
If we talk about the poster, it is worth noting that NXT Champion Andrade "Cien" Almas and NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon are not included. This could indicate that they will likely be called up during the upcoming Draft as reported, which would take place before the tour.
Anyway, the announced tour is a new demonstration of what NXT has achieved, and also another opportunity to show that it is truly WWE's third brand.
