The United Kingdom Championship tournament was considered a success back in January. The tournament crowned the first-ever UK Champion, with Tyler Bate winning the title and featured some great matches. WWE has announced their next step for the division: WWE United Kingdom Championship Live!

Seems like it could be the first taping for a show, similar to how NXT does it.
Here is the press release from WWE.com:
