NXT UK hears from tonight’s tag team match opponents.

Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster are going up against Amir Jordan & Kenny Williams tonight, and Andrews says that they respect those guys. They know what it’s like to be underdogs and you never underestimate the underdog. Williams & Jordan say they’ve faced some “bomber” tag teams, and beaten them, too. So who says they can’t do it again? The last six months have been hard on South Wales Subculture facing The Hunt and Eddie Dennis, but they’re not looking back, they’re looking forward.

Williams & Jordan are ready to win fair and square, but getting through SWSC means they’ll be dancing all the way to the NXT UK Tag Team Championships! Well, maybe not dancing. But either way, one team takes a step forward, will Williams & Jordan beat another pair of former champions to head for Pretty Deadly?

BREAKING NEWS for next week!

NXT UK changes the start time for the United States, as it will now be live at 4 PM Eastern!

Aoife Valkyrie speaks.

“After everything I’ve gone through, and everyone I’ve beaten, you are my toughest battle.” She talks to herself in the mirror. “You used to push me, and now you’re pulling me down. Well I’ll show you that there’s a difference between those that aim for the top and those that settle. And that difference counts. A Valkyrie is only drawn to the toughest challenges. I’ll show you.” Will Aoife prove to herself that she can still reach the highest point in NXT UK?

Teoman VS Danny Jones!

The kid who fought for everything he had so that he could give his family everything they’ve ever wanted is making his in-ring debut in NXT UK! Will he fight hard enough to make everyone respect, admire and even fear him?

The bell rings and Jones ties right up with Teoman. Teoman wrenches, wristlocks and grinds Jones down. Teoman wrenches, Jones rolls and handsprings, but Teoman wrangles him back down!

Winner: Teoman, by submission

The Evil Eye is upon NXT UK! What prize will Teoman look to take for his own?

Xia Brookside has more work for Nina Samuels.

The Leading Lady turned personal assistant now has to clean Xia’s room! Why not call housekeeping? No, no, Xia gave them the day off. This is all for Nina. From making the bed to doing the dishes, though perhaps not perfectly, Nina thinks she’s done. But then she forgot about the dishes in the washer. Will Nina be able to get it together? Or will the month mercifully fly by with Brookside?

Eddie Dennis speaks with Wild Boar.

While Boar has been a “model student,” and made great progress, he committed a “Cardinal sin.” Boar separated himself from the pack and made it weaker! In the Street Fight, Dennis suffered the consequences! Primate suffered the consequences! So now Boar faces the consequences, as Primate and Tyson T-Bone punish him! And now that T-Bone has joined The Hunt, will they be more dangerous than ever?

Amale speaks.

The French Hope is the first French-born female in the WWE, and though having barely started, she’s already in history books. She is going for the opportunities she deserves in NXT UK. She has blessed the brand with hope, class, and has the support of her people. Will Amale look to become the first French-born women’s champion in WWE, as well?

Gallus spends time alone in their bar.

Wolfgang may not be pretty, but he knows a cheat. Mark Coffey tell shim not to beat himself up, everyone else will try to do that. Joe Coffey walks over and says they need to go back to go forwards. They need a plan. The Gallus boys aren’t on top. But they need to remind everyone that they were ruthless. It isn’t about titles or grudges. It is about making a statement. Gallus shakes hands on it, but just how will they rebuild and redeem themselves?

South Wales Subculture VS Amir Jordan & Kenny Williams!

The High-Fiving, Stage-Diving Welsh Rockstar and the Modfather have tasted the tag titles and want another, but the Bhangra Badboy and the Lucky Yin just want their first bite! Which team will be hungrier and head for the self-proclaimed “tasty” Lewis Howley & Sam Stoker?

The teams sort out and Williams starts with FMW. They circle, tie up, and then break. They go again, break again, and FMW has to worry about his sore ribs from that Street Fight.

Jordan then tags in, which surprises and perhaps annoys Williams. Jordan and Andrews circle, tie up, Andrews wrenches and wrangles Jordan down.

Winners: Amir Jordan & Kenny Williams, by pinfall

They beat former NXT UK Tag Team Champions, but not the way the Bhangra Badboy wanted to! Will he and Williams sort things out before their next match? Or will Williams continue to take every chance he gets?

NXT UK profiles Ilja Dragunov’s recent developments.

The “Moscow Madman” was always just a nickname, but now it may be becoming his reality. Every time he’s been in a match, a reminder of Walter sets him off and he goes into a berserk rage. We will hear from Dragunov next week on what is next for him.

Trent Seven speaks.

The weigh-in will be live on WWE’s The Bump! He is excited, because he has worked his butt off harder than ever before. He has never worked this hard for anything! He feels like there are a lot of people supporting him, but most of all he had Tyler Bate. Trent was there for Bate, so the least he could do is be here for Trent. Trent is in the best shape of his life and it is truly inspiring. Seven vows to do this. Seven is inspired by Bate, too, as they’ve both had the same attitude towards pro-wrestling. So to use the skills and the platform they have to motivate others, it’s a great feeling. Seven has avoided scales just so as not to get in his own head.

We will all learn together if Seven has made it under 205! Will Seven be ready to challenge for the Cruiserweight Championship? If he makes weight, that match happens NEXT WEEK!

NXT UK hears from Ben Carter.

“It’s been a pretty wild 12 months for me, to say the least.” He was in the US for soccer, and then in his spare time, doing everything he could to make a name for himself in pro-wrestling. No one knew who he was, but then fast-forward a year, and he’s living a dream. Carter had many options, but he wanted to come to NXT UK, and to come home. It’s like a brand new start. And with that new start comes a brand new name! Nathan Frazer will become a champion, grab the brand by the throat and take it wherever he wants it, and become the greatest to ever do it. Will the Prodigy formerly known as Ben Carter still carve an impressive path to the top?

BREAKING NEWS!

Walter has become THE longest reigning NXT UK Champion ever, but is going to return to issue a statement! What will Der Ring General have to say about the state of the brand?

Mixed Tag: Jinny & Joseph Conners VS Piper Niven & Jack Starz!

History is being made every day, and for NXT UK, it is having their first-ever Mixed Tag! But history aside, this is about settling scores and ending grudges! Will the Fashionista finally pay for blocking Piper’s path to the NXT UK Women’s Championship? Or is Starz not worthy of fighting alongside her against Jinny and her Righteous Killer?

The teams sort out and it’s ladies first as Piper and Jinny step up. Jinny asks if Piper is “thick” in the head. She backs off to tag in Conners, and so Starz comes in by default. Conners and Starz circle, tie up, and Conners goes around to wrench and fireman’s carry takeover. Cover, ONE, and Starz gets away. Conners asks “Shorty” if he knows what he’s gotten himself into. They tie up, Conners wrenches and arm-drags to clamp onto the shoulder. Conners half nelsons to snapmare to a cover, ONE! Conners mocks Starz to keep climbing and let the 15 minutes of fame run out. Starz keeps his cool, ties up with Conners, but Conners gets a cravat.

Starz endures as Conners snapmares him down to a chinlock, but Starz slips out to wrench, spin, and BACK DROP Conners, to then have the arm again. Conners rolls back but Starz drops to throw Conners over! Cover, ONE, but Starz ghost pins, ONE! Conners runs into an arm-drag and Starz grinds the arm down. Starz shifts to a short arm scissor and he pulls on the arm. Conners rolls back to a cover, TWO and Starz still has the hold! Conners powers up to dead lift Starz! But Starz sunset flips, TWO! Starz dropkicks Conners down and Conners gets mad! Starz grins and tags in Piper, so now Jinny has to enter. Jinny runs, dodges Piper but comes back to dodge again.

Piper and Jinny circle, Conners talks trash and that distracts Piper for Jinny to attack! Piper shoves Jinny away, blocks a punch and sweeps the leg to drop a senton! Cover, TWO! Piper drags Jinny up to scoop, but Conners tags Jinny in to save her! Starz has to come back, and he comes back with fast forearms! Starz whips, Conners reverses but Starz dodges to TACKLE Conners! Starz keeps moving to hit Conners with a basement EuroUpper, and a back drop! Conners catches Starz to a clinch, they’re on the ropes, and the ref counts, Starz powers up to push Conners away! The two stare down, Jinny swipes at Starz, but Conners sucker punches then BULLDOGS Starz!

Piper protests but Jinny gets away with a ROLLING KICK! Conners taunts Piper but Jinny orders him to stay on Starz. Conners scoops and SLAMS Starz, covers, TWO! Conners suplexes Starz high and hard, covers, TWO! Starz sits up but Conners jams his knee in the back! Conners digs his boot into Starz’s head, then taunts him to tag out. Starz throws body shots, Conners shoves him to hit a tilt-o-whirl SLAM! Cover, TWO! Conners kicks Starz to the corner, pushes him around, and tells him to hail Queen Jinny! Conners throws body shots, haymakers, then stomps Starz down. Conners taunts Piper for making a horrible choice in partners, but he runs into Starz’s elbow!

Starz runs, Conners catches him and shoves him away, but Starz rams him with a shoulder! Things speed up, Conners ducks the crossbody! Starz flops out of the ring, and Jinny is lurking. Piper storms over but Conners gets in the way. The ref reprimands and tells everyone to back off. Conners drags Starz up to put him in, and then stalks Starz to ropes. Conners drags Starz up to CHOP him, ROCK him, but Starz hits back! Starz bobs ‘n’ weaves, hits Conners, Conners hits back, they’re brawling! Starz hits EuroUpper after EuroUpper but Conners goes to backslide! Starz fights that off to DECK Conners!

Both men crawl, BT Sports Studio fires up, Conners drags Starz but Starz fights to tag in Piper! Jinny has no choice but to be legal, but she decides to run! Piper chases her into the ring, and POUNCES her! Piper drags Jinny up, whips and TOSSES her, then does it again! Piper runs to BASEMENT CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Piper rains down rights on Jinny, drags her up, and whips her to a corner. Piper runs in but Jinny BOOTS her, then ROLLING KICKS! Piper staggers, Jinny CHOP BLOCKS and rolls Piper up! TWO!!

Winners: Jack Starz & Piper Niven, by pinfall

Starz & Pipes go down in history as the first NXT UK Mixed Tag winners! But more importantly, they took the fight to Jinny & Joseph! Will they leave these bullies behind on this Road to WrestleMania?

My Thoughts:

A pretty good episode for NXT UK all in all. Bates VS Mastiff was a very good British Rounds match, and I almost expected Mastiff to win with another knockout when he and Bate were trading hands. But Bate’s journey is the story, and he pulls out a big win to keep going towards the Heritage Cup. Teoman had a good debut, though I wouldn’t have expected his theme to be electronic, not rock. We got good promos from Amale and Aoife were decent, and I expected more from Nina Samuels having to do Xia Brookside’s chores. Her plotting to sabotage Xia only to fail felt like a good story thread but it looks more like Nina is just a bad personal assistant.

I am very surprised that The Hunt is changing up its members, but I think this means Boar legitimately got hurt during that Fatal 4 Way and they need to have a reason why he’s gone. T-Bone joining the group is good for T-Bone, he wasn’t doing anything at all. Good to know we’ll be hearing from Dragunov and Walter next week, and I hope Walter’s announcement is that he’s heading to the States to join the rest of Imperium for a spell. However, I’m very disappointed that Ben Carter has to change his name to Nathan Frazer. The new gear looks great, but why a new name? We just had “Ed Harvey” refuse to be that and become Sha Samuels! Why are we only now, a month or so after he arrived, renaming Ben Carter, who really is a prodigious talent!? That’s absurd!

It’s also odd that Trent Seven’s weigh-in is being put on WWE’s The Bump. Pretty sure it’s just so NXT UK fans will want to watch The Bump to see that segment. But this must mean Devlin VS Seven really is happening next week, I can’t imagine they’d swerve us just so The Bump could get a few more views for one week. Also, the timing of this is interesting since Devlin issued his challenge to Escobar for the near future. I suppose this means Seven loses and wonders if it was all worth it. Jordan & Williams VS SWSC was a good tag match, and I figured Williams would find a way to cheat to win. They will surely get a tag title match, and Jordan might be too distracted worrying about Williams to focus, and that is why they lose.

Gallus had a good little promo to put forward that they have to refocus. I’m hoping that means the Coffey Brothers go after the tag titles and then Wolfgang can try for the Heritage Cup or even UK Championship. And the Mixed Tag main event was good, but Mixed Tags just naturally have a harder time using the hot tag momentum for drama since one tag is basically two tags, and as we saw, Jinny did not want to face Piper if she could help it. Nigel McGuiness on commentary did a good job bringing up the controversy of Piper hitting Conners when co-ed contact isn’t allowed. But naturally, Piper and Starz win to finally give the Heels comeuppance, but I’m not sure where this goes from here. Will Piper have another try at the NXT UK Women’s Championship and Kay Lee Ray? I feel like the moment to pull the trigger on a title change has passed, so what would we even get out of it?

My Score: 8/10
