WWE reveals rules for NXT Global Heritage Invitational
WWE has revealed the rules for NXT’s Global Heritage Invitational.
The tournament was announced on NXT last night after Noam Dar defeated Nathan Frazer to win the Heritage Cup trophy. There will be eight participants in the invitational and the winner will get their title shot against Dar at NXT No Mercy on Saturday, September 30.
On WWE’s The Bump this afternoon, it was revealed that the invitational will be a round-robin tournament. The participants will be divided into two groups, with the winner of Group A facing the winner of Group B in the finals on the Tuesday, September 26 episode of NXT.
Here is the full set of rules:
- There will be two groups with four wrestlers in each group in a round-robin style tournament.
- Matches have a 12-minute time limit.
- Pinfall and submission victories are worth two points. A draw will earn each wrestler one point.
- The winner of Group A faces the winner of Group B on September 26 and the winner of that match will challenge Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup on September 30 at NXT No Mercy.
The tournament begins on NXT next Tuesday. The participants are set to be announced on NXT’s social media accounts throughout the next week.
Interference by his Meta-Four stablemates helped Dar defeat Frazer on NXT last night. Dar is part of Meta-Four with Oro Mensah, Lash Legend, and Jakara Jackson.
The Heritage Cup is a championship where matches are contested under British Rounds rules. The title originated in NXT UK but was brought to NXT by Dar this April.
NXT No Mercy is being held at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California. The show will stream live on Peacock/WWE Network.
