Has Dempsey seen them? If he does, tell them Gallus is looking for them. Gallus storms off and Dempsey says this is the second time this has happened. Will Dempsey still focus on his opponent in the ring tonight?
Amale VS Myla Grace!
The French Hope shoulders the honor of an entire country on her shoulders as she represents France in NXT UK. Will she get back on a winning track? Or will the bubbly break dancer from Belfast make a big impression in her debut?
The bell rings, Amale and Grace circle, tie up, and Amale waistlocks to SLAM Grace down. Amale talks trash in French, Grace gets up to waistlock. Amale elbows out hard, bumps Grace off buckles then headlocks and thrashes Grace around. Grace endures, even as Amale thrashes more.

Winner: Amale, by pinfall
Davenport isn’t impressed but Amale doesn’t care. She is ready to make an impact, but will she be given the shot she feels she deserves?
Backstage interview with Aleah James.
NXT UK Media says she got a big win last week over Xia Brookside, how is she feeling? Well she’s been a whole year now so she’s excited she got a win. But Nina Samuels takes over to make this interview part of her show. Though it takes a certain caliber of performer to be on Nina’s show, and she isn’t sure Aleah measures up. A small height joke but Nina laughs. Aleah asks if there’s a problem. Maybe another time, Nina. Aleah isn’t doing this now. Nina scowls as Aleah walks off set, but manages a smile as she signs off for her show. Will Aleah get to show Nina her caliber in the ring at some point?
Subculture gets NXT UK Media to follow them.
Dani Luna doublechecks if Flash Morgan Webster is sure about this. They should wait for Mark Andrews, at least. No, FMW is going in now. He walks into the locker room and finds Rampage Brown. Rampage tells him, “Don’t you dare.” Everyone knows what FMW’s been up to. FMW says okay, but he still goes for the slap! Rampage blocks that then pins FMW against a wall! “You’re gonna get yourself hurt. If you want a match, all you had to do was ask.” Rampage lets FMW go easy this time, but will it get much, much worse for the Modfather once they’re in the ring?
Charlie Dempsey VS Danny Jones!
The young technician got his first win off #TurboTerry in impressive manner, but will he be able to make it an impressive 2-0? Or will “Raving” Danny Jones be a little too much for a second opponent?
The bell rings and the tow tie up right away. Dempsey hits an arm-drag, they’re still tied up in a collar ‘n’ elbow and the two stand up. Dempsey tries another arm-drag but Jones stays up, so Dempsey drops to get a leg pick. Dempsey has a standing toehold, Jones kicks with his free leg and is free. They tie up again, Dempsey cravats and EuroUppers, then goes back to the cravat for a standing neck wrench. Jones throws Dempsey but Dempsey holds on. CRAVAT PLEX! Dempsey has a cravat cover, TWO! Jones fights up, throws body shots, powers out and hip tosses! Jones fires up and throws EuroUppers! Dempsey comes back with EuroUppers of his own, but Jones URAKENS!
Dempsey staggers, Jones drags him down to a sleeper! Dempsey fights free but Jones uses an omoplata to bring him around and tie up the legs! Modified BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Dempsey pops free, covers, TWO! Dempsey tries again with a half nelson and a forearm grinding in Jones’ face. Jones fights up, Dempsey wants a half hatch but Jones gets a leg pick. Dempsey gets away, they circle and Jones shoots in but into a cravat. Jones slips out to get the leg but Dempsey gets an arm! Dempsey has a double wristlock and then a leg hook to really twist that shoulder! Then Dempsey KNEES Jones! Jones comes back to ROCK Dempsey with a forearm!
Jones whips Dempsey from the corner but Dempsey bridges to reverse and send Jones into buckles! Dempsey brings Jones up to EuroUpper, then he gut wrench suplexes fast and hard! Cover, TWO! Dempsey floats to another press, TWO! A deep leg hook, TWO! Dempsey keeps on Jones with a facelock then a GROVIT! Jones endures, Dempsey RAMS him into a corner, then GROVIT SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Jones survives but Dempsey isn’t stopping here. Dempsey chinlocks, thrashes Jones around, but Jones fights up to throw body shots. Dempsey headlocks, Jones throws hands and powers up but can’t power out, so he hits a BIG back suplex!
Fans cheer as Jones runs in but into a low headbutt! Dempsey throws knees, hooks the arms, BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Bridging to a float over to the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Jones endures, Dempsey gets up again and hits another BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! And another float over, back to the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Jones endures, Dempsey shifts to a chicken wing and crossface! Dempsey joins hands to WRENCH Jones back, Jones taps! Dempsey wins!
Winner: Charlie Dempsey, by submission
Two for two and just as torturous as the first! Dempsey takes holds to a new level, will that agonizing arsenal take him to the top of NXT UK?
NXT UK takes a closer look at Satomura VS Jinny.
The Spoiled Princess says, “Meiko Satomura has been wrestling for over 20 years. Every single time she steps foot in the ring, she shows everyone why she is the Final Boss. But 20 years is a long time. You become weakened, you become frail, you become slow.” Meiko admits she is nervous every title defense, but she gets tougher and stronger. Jinny knows Meiko dared everyone else to step up, but not Jinny. That’s because even Meiko knows Jinny is dangerous. Meiko likes dangerous. “Jinny, you cannot beat me. You are the queen, I’m the Final Boss.” Jinny says she finishes the Final Boss and becomes the new champion. Meiko tells Jinny to be prepared, because this is going down NEXT WEEK!
Isla Dawn goes back to her secret box.
She admires and even praises the collection she’s amassed. “Face and hand to reach the sun and the cold dirt.” The hair she tore from Dani Luna, the red lipstick she took from Jinny. One more charm of power trouble, and thus complete shall be the puzzle. “Ascension will be there upon. Progression inevitable as the Dawn.” Just what is the Wicked Witch brewing for the NXT UK Women’s Division?
NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship: Tyler Bate w/ Trent Seven VS Noam Dar w/ Sha Samuels!
The Big Strong Boy has beaten the Scottish Supernova with the cup on the line before and promises to do it again. Does Bate have Dar’s number? Or will nothing deny Dar what he feels is his destiny?
The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and we see how many rounds this rematch goes!
Round one begins and fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, tie up with knuckle locks but let off to circle more. Dar tries a kick but Bate stays clear. They tie up, Dar waistlocks and slams Bate down, then facelocks. Bate rolls, Dar stays with him, gets around to a waistlock and rolls Bate, but Bate switches to get a leg. Dar gets away and to the ropes. Fans cheer the technical exchange and the two circle again. Bate wrenches an arm, wrangles Dar down but Dar fight sup and spins through to wrench and wrangle Bate in return. Dar CLUBS the arm, digs his knee into Bate’s face and bends the elbow. Bate fights up, Dar wrenches and wrenches and wrenches again.
Bate rolls, rolls back, spins and breaks free to wrench and wristlock back, then he WRINGS Dar out! Bate is right back on Dar but Dar puts him on the ropes. The ref calls the break, Bate ducks the cheap shot kick! We’re under a minute in the first, they tie up and Bate spins to a full nelson then a cravat. Dar endures, rolls but Bate holds on. Bate keeps on the neck wrench, Dar fights up and goes after the grip. He stomps Bate’s foot to get a headlock takeover! Bate fights up at 20 seconds, Dar clinches but they end up on ropes. The ref calls the break and we’re at the 10 second mark. Dar gives a shove and eggs Bate on but Bate waits on Dar. The round ends cleanly.
Bate: 0; Dar: 0
Seven and Sha help Bate and Dar refresh, Sha hypes Dar up and round two begins. Dar and Bate circle, knuckle lock and Bate rolls to spin and get a leg pick. Bate has a standing toehold, Dar endures and rolls but can’t get free. Bate uses the toehold to turn Dar over and hook up both legs in a deathlock. Bate pulls the legs, Dar endures, Bate gets around and Dar slips free. Dar is on the ropes and Sha tells Bate to get back. Bate waits, Dar stands and circles with Bate again. They tie up, Dar rolls and has a top wristlock. He arm-drags Bate down and keeps on the wristlock but Bate fights up. Dar gets a headlock, Bate endures as Dar thrashes around.

Bate: 0; Dar: 0
The ref has the two separate and tensions are high as they back away. Another refresher, some more tips from Sha to Dar, and we begin round three. Dar goes for a leg, Bate blocks but Dar wrenches and WRINGS Bate, but Bate handsprings through! Bate arm-drags Dar, dropkicks him down, and Dar bails out. Bate runs over, Dar slides in. Bate comes back, blocks Dar’s cheap shot but Dar sweeps the legs! Dar runs to dropkick Bate off the apron! Dar hurries to get Bate up and snapmares him into steel steps! Dar puts Bate in fast, pinkies up from the corner, NOVA ROLLA!! Cover, Dar gets the fall!
Bate: 0; Dar: 1

And Dar rushes in after Bate in the corner! Judo throw and a stomp to the arm! Dar shows pinkies to Seven, goes after the other arm and stomps it, too!

Bate endures, Seven goes after Pretty Deadly, and the towel flies into the ring!! Sha points it out, the ref misunderstands, and he calls it!!! Dar is the winner?!?
Winner: Noam Dar, by submission (NEW NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)
Forget an East End screw job, this was a Pretty Deadly Screw Job! They mess with Moustache Mountain and cost Bate the cup! Fans boo as Dar celebrates a tainted victory, but will that matter to the Scottish Supernova? As for Pretty Deadly, will this cost them the tag titles when Moustache Mountain come for revenge?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode, lots of good set-up for the coming weeks. A good promo vignette from Meiko and Jinny, a good bit with Nina and Aleah, and I like that Rampage Brown was ready for FMW to try and slap him. The vignette for Dawn was alright but it was hard to tell what she was saying. I feel like at this point, she’s being built up in the backroom to take on the champion and maybe even take the title at some point. I figured Sid would announce the tag team contender’s match, and that will be a really good match. Given how things went at the end of the main event, it might not even be Pretty Deadly they’re facing. Well, probably them.
Coffey VS Raja was a good match but I’m not sure the fans were that into it. Coffey winning but Teoman and Raja being sore losers makes sense, they’re definitely going to get Joe Coffey involved and then we will see who joins Teoman’s “Family.” Amale VS Grace was a good showing for both, but Davenport watching partway through was rather interesting. Is she stalking her next target? Davenport as a Tweener, facing everyone on the roster, would be pretty good. Needs to happen a bit more in WWE, honestly. Dempsey really is good at taking moves we’ve seen and turning them into something new, and that is pretty impressive. His interactions with Gallus make me still feel he might end up joining Teoman’s family but I still feel like that shouldn’t really be his story.
The Heritage Cup match was great stuff, and they went to six rounds in a very high energy, high drama way. Those two middle rounds were fast, we were kept kinda guessing going into the last round, and I did not expect Pretty Deadly getting involved in their own way. The accidental throwing of the towel was fairly clever, and Bate loses the cup without losing power level. I feel like Moustache Mountain will definitely want after Pretty Deadly and the tag titles for revenge, that match can happen before the new contenders get their shot to add some intrigue to the scene. As for Dar, the door’s wide open now for him to face whoever for the cup and really add to its young legacy.
My Score: 8.5/10

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

Yoh fights around, reaches out, but Taiji rolls him! Yoh uses that to have the ANACONDA VICE!!! Taiji endures, fights to sit up, and then he stands to fire body shots. Taiji RAMS Yoh into the bare buckles! Both men fall back and the fans rally harder! Taiji drags Yoh up, reels him in, but Yoh blocks! Yoh fireman’s carries, and he hits an USHIGOROSHI! The fans fire up and Yoh full nelsons Taiji! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!!
Taiji escapes but Yoh vows to end this! The fans are thunderous as Yoh hauls Taiji up! DIRECT DRIVE!!! Cover, YOH WINS!!!
Winner: Yoh, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Taiji earns 0)
The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.
Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
