In July, Jinny took part of the 2018 Mae Young Classic, where she was defeated in the first round by her rival Toni Storm. Shortly after her participation in the Mae Young Classic, Jinny was announced as part of the women's roster in the newly created "NXT UK" brand. After a series of vignettes promoting her debut, Jinny made her television debut on 7 November episode, where she attacked Dakota Kai from behind after she lost a match against Toni Storm. Jinny would then enter a tournament for the inaugural NXT UK Women's Championship, where she would defeat Millie McKenzie in the first round only to be eliminated from the tournament by Toni Storm in the semi–finals.
