NXT UK, meet The Coffey Brothers.

Joe and Mark made quite the impact in the 2018 UK Championship Tournament special, but not in a match. They ran over Mark Andrews, Travis Banks and Flash Morgan Webster with ease. The brothers have each other’s back, but how will younger Mark fair against Flash (Ah~) Morgan Webster in their shared NXT UK TV in-ring debut?

Backstage interview with Flash Morgan Webster.

What is his game plan for the ruthless Mark Coffey? Simple, it’s the Modfather style and innovation he brings every match. The Coffey boys have been a thorn in his side since Royal Albert Hall. Flash vows to get payback, because #InModWeTrust.

Flash Morgan Webster VS Mark Coffey w/ Joe Coffey!

The High-Fiving, Stage-Diving Mark Andrews failed to get his revenge on older brother Joe, and ended up in a fight with both brothers in the NXT UK premiere.

The Modfather had his head on a swivel, and he gets the win. But he also gets a beating! The Coffey Brothers clobber him down, but here come Mark Andrews AND Travis Banks! The Kiwi Buzzsaw wants his part of the payback, and the two of them stand on the apron. Mark and Joe bark at them, ready for a fight, but Flash gets his helmet! The Coffey Brothers realize they’re outnumbered, so they get out quick and retreat. Mark and Joe get away for now, but when will they have to face the consequences of their Royal Albert Hall attack?

NXT UK, prepare to meet Jinny.

“Alluring, but savage. Captivating, but cruel.” The fierce fashionista will teach everyone a lesson in fashion they’ll never forget. She’s got style, she’s got grace, and looks to put the growing NXT UK Women’s Division in its place. Who will join Jinny on the catwalk for a fashionable fight?

Danny Burch VS Sam Gradwell!

The Boston Brawler has done alright in the American NXT alongside Oney Lorcan, but now he wants to remind the UK that he’s one of their own. Meanwhile, the man Pete Dunne sucker punched in the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Championship tournament is back to prove he’s not to be overlooked. Burch and Gradwell are gritty as they come, but who will hit harder and get the win?

Winner: Danny Burch, by pinfall

The match wasn’t pretty, but it was bloody gritty! Burch wins his NXT UK TV debut, and will surely look to climb up to the Bruiserweight’s UK Championship.

In-ring interview with Danny Burch!

What a great performance! How does it feel to be performing back in the UK? Burch says it’s amazing to be back! He was born in London, he’s a proud Englishman, and no matter where he goes, this here will always be home for him! Fans appreciate that sentiment. Burch continues to say this means so much, “because for 15 years, I traveled the world, flying the flag for British Wrestling”, with his blood, sweat and tears so that he could be anywhere in the world, look anyone in the eye, and know he’s earned their respect. Fans know “You Deserve It!”

But in seriousness, Burch knows he can look in the eyes of anyone in the NXT UK locker room, that he’s earned their respect. Burch is in the prime of his career, in the best shape of his life, but this isn’t about respect anymore. He wants someone’s attention. And that someone is the WWE UK Champion, Pete Dunne! Burch calls out the Bruiserweight. British Strong Style? Burch was British Strong Style while Dunne was in diapers with snot running down his face. But in all due respect, Burch isn’t hard to find. He’ll be in the locker room, simply saying, “Come ‘n’ have a go if you think you’re hard enough!” Burch calls his shot, will the Bruiserweight give him it?

NXT UK, meet Jordan Devlin.

The Irish Ace is ready to be known as something more than just Finn Balor’s student. Devlin has a mean streak as the “most explosive, aggressive and athletic” superstar on the roster. Everyone will find out they’re not in the United Kingdom, but in the Kingdom of Jordan Devlin.

Noam Dar VS Zack Gibson!

The Scottish Supernova got his shot at Pete Dunne in the series premiere while Liverpool’s Number One had his back at Royal Albert Hall. Neither man succeeded in dethroning the Bruiserweight, but now they look to prove who deserves yet another chance. Who will win this match to make big moves back towards the WWE UK Championship?

Mustache Mountain VS Saxon Huxley & Sam Gradwell!

Trent Seven & Tyler Bate told any and all would-be tag teams to step up and step into the ring with the “big strong boys”.

Travis Banks has been attacked!

The Kiwi Buzzsaw was set to face the Last King of Scotland in this episode’s main event, but now referees are digging him out of a chair pile! NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint comes in to see this, and calls for medics. Travis might not be in any shape to compete now, who takes his place against Wolfgang? And more importantly, who did this to the returning superstar? Though, given Travis’ history with the Coffey Brothers, do we really need to look very far?

NXT UK, meet Isla Dawn.

The Glasgow Goddess hits precise and hits hard. She fell short in Royal Albert Hall and in the WWE Mae Young Classic, but she’ll have her chance to redeem herself, up next!

NXT UK, Jinny is still on her way.

“Sweetheart, don’t let my good looks fool you.” Jinny knows that when people look at her, they’re intimidated. At the end of the day, everyone will wish they were just like Jinny.

Backstage interview with Johnny Saint.

He gives us an update on the condition of Travis Banks after that blindside attack. Mark Andrews comes looking, too, and has an answer for everyone. He knows it’s the Coffey Brothers. Those two think they can get away with anything, but that’s not true. The High-Fiving, Stage-Diving superstar volunteers to take Travis’ place and show the Coffey Brothers “exactly what they’re messing with.” Saint considers this option, what will his decision be?

Isla Dawn VS Nina Samuels!

The Devil’s Rose lost to the Lightning from Down Under in the series premiere, but that won’t deter her from making a big move in the NXT UK Women’s Division. Will she turn it around in her second appearance? Or will the Scottish Sorceress put a spell on her?

Exclusive interview with Pete Dunne.

The Bruiserweight has been WWE UK Champion for over a year since taking the title from Tyler Bate at TakeOver: Chicago. How has his life changed since then? Dunne had a chip on his shoulder for 12 years, but what’s changed is that everyone from the locker room to the fans that he is the Best in Britain. Danny Burch has called Dunne out, wanting to be the next challenger. What is Dunne’s response? It doesn’t matter how prepared Dunne is, it’s on Burch. Dunne has beaten man after man after man, but it’s up to Burch to reach Dunne’s level.

Burch also said he was British Strong Style before it was a thing, does that intimidate Dunne? Dunne will let Burch say he invented British Strong Style, but Dunne says he perfected it and took it around the world. Then what does the Bruiserweight need to do to retain his title? Burch wants Dunne’s attention, he’s got it. Dunne will hurt Burch and walk out still the WWE UK Champion.

A decision has been made!

Johnny Saint honors Mark Andrews’ request, and it will be the High-Fiving, Stage-Diving going against the Last King of Scotland! Will Andrews be able to overcome Wolfgang to then focus on the Coffey Brothers?

Eddie Dennis speaks.

He had us consider his feelings “watching my friends Mark Andrews and Pete Dunne” live their dream, without him. Dunne has the title and Andrews has the fans, but Dennis has the drive. The youngest principal in all of the UK now quit to dedicate himself to his first love. Headmaster Dennis is ready to accomplish greatness. Four months back in, he tried out for WWE. At ten months back in, he has his contract. And he was working through an injury during that. His “friends” set the foundation of the UK Division, but Dennis vows to build this brand around him. Dennis is here, and he has “everything to prove.” Will he make up for time lost when he finally arrives in NXT UK?

Jordan Devlin VS Tucker!

The Irish Ace is ready to shoulder the weight of a nation as he fights up towards the top of the UK Division. However, the lifelong underdog won’t just stand down and let himself drop to 0-2.

Exclusive interview with Danny Burch.

He has 15 years of experience, has it prepared himself to be the next WWE UK Champion? Burch asks back, “Have you ever tried so hard and never, ever made it?” Y’know, you try out for something, but you’re told you’re not good enough. So you work a whole year and try again, only to be rejected again. That was Burch’s life in wrestling. Now some would quit and walk away, but not Burch. He’s made out of stern stuff, and he is ready to be the new UK Champion. But Dunne has had the belt for over a year, and is seemingly unbeatable. Dunne’s an “interesting animal”, and almost flawless in all aspects. All Burch can do is be the best he can be so that Dunne doesn’t get ahead.

Dunne systematically breaks down opponents and is willing to do almost anything to win. What is Burch willing to do to win? It’s not what he’s willing to do. He’s fine with Dunne taking things that far, because “that’s just another day in my life, mate. I’m right at home.” So what would it mean to be WWE UK Champion and the face of a brand? Burch will answer that in two weeks when he has that belt around his waist. The challenger is ready, and we know the champion is ready. Who will have that coveted piece of gold after all is said and done?

Mark Andrews VS Wolfgang!

It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to see that the Kiwi Buzzsaw was taken out by the Coffey Brothers in a preemptive strike. However, the rocker from Wales won’t let them get away with it. Will Andrews get a big win before going after the Coffey boys? Or will he find he’s bitten off more than he can chew?

The bell rings and fans are on Andrews’ side. He and Wolfgang circle then tie up. Wolfgang powers Andrews to a corner, but backs off cleanly. Wolfgang howls and fans echo it. Andrews comes out to circle and tie up with Wolfgang again. Wolfgang puts Andrews in another corner, then on the top rope. Wolfgang tells Andrews he’s watching him closely. Andrews hops down and they go a third time. Andrews gets a waistlock but Wolfgang pries his way out. Fans rally as Andrews spins and handsprings to get a headlock. Wolfgang lifts Andrews but Andrews holds on. Wolfgang tries again but Andrews still holds on. Andrews grinds the headlock but Wolfgang lifts him again.

Andrews sunset flips but Wolfgang stays standing. Wolfgang yanks Andrews up, but Andrews wheelbarrows into an arm-drag! Andrews tries another but Wolfgang blocks with strength.

Winner: Mark Andrews, by pinfall

Andrews didn’t have to take this match, but he did, and he won! Will Andrews take this momentum and use it to get even with the Coffey Brothers?

Andrews looks Wolfgang in the eye and admits it was a very close match. He offers the Last King of Scotland a handshake of respect. Fans hope Wolfgang takes it, and he does. Wolfgang himself has a bit of a climb in store if he wants to get somewhere in the UK Division, can he do it?

But wait! The Coffey Brothers blow past Wolfgang and right into the ring! Andrews fights them off 2v1 but that doesn’t go his way. Joe & Mark beat Andrews down, but what is Wolfgang going to do? He doesn’t do anything, so it’s up to Flash Morgan Webster to make the save again! However, the Coffey Brothers are ready this time, and Flash doesn’t have his pilot helmet. They beat Flash down, but still Wolfgang just watches. Fans convince him, so Wolfgang finally gets in the ring and the Coffey Brothers run away again. Wolfgang stands with Flash, only to clothesline him!?

It would seem the Last King of Scotland is on the side of the Glaswegian giants, but they want proof. They want him to beat up the man he just shook hands with. They feed Andrews to Wolfgang, and Wolfgang gives Andrews a pop-up powerslam! Scottish blood is thicker than water, will these three take over all of the UK Division?

My Thoughts:

A great pair of episodes, but I just wish they’d given some warning. My schedule concerns aside, I’m thinking this format is so that they can get through the backlog of episodes so that we’re closer to present day. For one, the backlog is reason why we couldn’t have an NXT UK Women’s Championship as part of WWE Evolution. Secondly, we can get either NXT UK titles on a TakeOver come Survivor Series weekend, or they get their own specials on like a Friday or something.

Both episodes have pretty solid matches, but only a few really added things to story. Seven VS Saxon in Episode 3 was great, and it clearly fed into the Mustache Mountain VS Huxley & Gradwell in Episode 4. Gradwell & Huxley already look to make a good combination, maybe they’ll stick together just to fill the Tag Division. Also I like that fans picked up on Gradwell looking like a less pale Sheamus. Anyway, the building story of Andrews-Webster-Banks VS the Coffey Brothers is pretty good. Seeing those three stick together is cool, but since it was 3v2, it should’ve been clear someone would join Joe & Mark Coffey in the fight. Wolfgang going Heel is a good move for him, it’ll give him a much needed spark.

Isla Dawn VS Nina Samuels was a pretty good match. It could’ve gone either way, but I feel like Isla is one of the many women NXT UK wants to bring up to give us that Women’s Championship tournament. Dakota Kai VS Toni Storm is next and that in itself could be a preview of the tournament. I’m thinking that since Toni Storm won the Mae Young Classic this year, that means she wins this match, too. There are a lot of women still to be introduced and hyped up, such as Jinny, but pretty sure Toni Storm getting the MYC nod means she’s going to go pretty far.

Burch VS Gradwell was great for how stiff it was. Burch calling out Dunne was great, too, and I really look forward to his match with Dunne as part of next week’s episode batch. I feel like Dunne will retain, but it’d be quite shocking in a good way if Burch found a way to win. Dar VS Gibson was also great, and I suppose it works for Gibson to win. Dar might still have things to do in 205 Live, so he can settle for being just a step outside of the title scene. I’m expecting that whether it’s Burch or Dunne, Gibson makes a move to be the next challenger to see if he really can beat Dunne when at 100%.

My Score: Episode 3 – 8.5/10; Episode 4 – 8.2/10
