NXT UK Women’s Championship Tournament: Rhea Ripley VS Xia Brookside!

Both of these women were part of WWE’s 2018 Mae Young Classic, but to varying degrees of success. The Aussie with an Attitude ripped her way up to the semifinals but fell to the Genius of the Sky, Io Shirai. However, the young and bright second generation star was also eliminated by Io Shirai, but in the opening round. Can Xia do her family proud in a better showing this tournament? Or will she also be dragged under by the Riptide?

Backstage interview with the Grizzled Young Veterans.

James Drake & Zack Gibson worked together to screw Trent Seven out of a win, but why? Gibson stops the interview here. Trying to dig for a story that doesn’t exist. They’ve known each other for 13 years, this was a friend helping a friend. But if you want a headline, here’s this: the NXT UK Tag Team Titles are coming, and there’s no possible combination of men you could make that even comes close of Mr. Mayhem and Liverpool’s Number One. The interview is over, but how far will Team GYV go in NXT UK?

As we saw last week, the King of Travelers wants tougher competition, and the Bomber showed him some when he squashed his own opponent. Now the two argue, and get really close to fighting! NXT UK GM Johnny Saint keeps them apart, and tells them they fight when he schedules it. As such, Saint has decided that these two will fight, in the ring! Will the Gypsy Man be the first to stop Big Dave’s dominance? Or will he just be another man flattened beneath Mastiff’s mass and might?

Another dominant victory makes him undefeated, but that doesn’t even cover it. Jack Starz never knocked Dennis off his feet! Dennis has waited 10 years for an opportunity like NXT UK, but Ashton Smith comes by. He watched Dennis like he was told, good moves out there. But nothing Ashton can’t handle. Dennis takes offense to the pat on the shoulder. Dennis vows to destroy Asthon and anyone else who gets in his way! Will The Headmaster educate everyone on what he can really do?
