Nina Samuels welcomes us to the show!

This is a very special Christmas edition of the Nina Samuels Show! And here at the Nina Samuels Show, she says as she does flourish and sparkle effects, she wants to give us the best holiday season ever~! So she will provide us a recap of the best moments of NXT UK in 2021, and even some of your favorite NXT UK superstars will be wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy~!

Shawn Michaels narrates, “The Ironman Match.”

“Few endeavors compare to the sheer will necessary to endure its punishment. But a decision only gets you so far. You must withstand your opponent until the very, last, second. Thirty minutes might as well be an eternity. But for those who are able to push through the pain, to endure the challenge, they will establish an ongoing legacy.” HBK himself won his first WWE Championship through such a match, and that moment lives to this day. That moment inspired A-Kid to inspire others. But when there are those like Jordan Devlin, who purposefully intend to injure someone, “that’s when it gets personal.” Devlin says this was AK’s choice, so he must’ve lost his mind.

HBK continues to say that tonight, NXT UK holds its first-ever Ironman Match. Thirty minutes of “a wrestler’s wrestler match,” and Devlin claims it was tailor made for him. This is a chance to establish legacy, but that means outlasting the other man, and making it to that final second intact. Devlin says AK has ended his own career, but AK vows he’ll be the one breaking Devlin. “Because it’s not over until the clock, hits, zero.” Who joins the pantheon of iron clad wills in wrestling history?

30 Minute Ironman Match: Jordan Devlin VS A-Kid!

The Irish Ace still had so much self-importance despite returning to NXT UK without the Cruiserweight Championship. The Spanish Sensation, on the other hand, was humbled by losing the NXT UK Heritage Cup. Such opposites clashed in the ring, Devlin went after A-Kid’s leg with violent disregard, and naturally everyone thought that was the end of it. But while Devlin may be the ace, AK was playing chess! The leg is fine, this match IS happening, and after a half hour, there can only be one winner! Will Devlin finally be the one humbled by losing? Or will A-Kid fail to make his second mark on NXT UK history?

The bell rings and the 30 minutes start ticking away as the two circle. BT Sports Studio rallies up as the two feel things out. AK gives testing kicks but Devlin stays away. They approach, knuckle lock, and AK rolls to go for a leg. Devlin blocks, goes for a leg, but AK trips him up to have a toehold. Devlin spins but AK cartwheels through and the two stand off. They circle again, Devlin giving a testing kick. They tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, Devlin gets around to a waistlock and slam, but AK turns around to get the facelock. Devlin rolls again but AK holds on!

BT Sports Studio boos as Devlin plays cat ‘n’ mouse with AK. Devlin goes around the ring, into the ring, then back out of the ring, all to avoid AK. AK doesn’t let him stop, though, but he is getting frustrated again. Did Devlin pops his elbow back in?! The Irish Ace finally gets back in and he grits his teeth, letting pain turn to anger.

Winner: A-Kid, 2 to 1 Falls

AK may have been “saved by the bell,” but he also came back with two straight falls after Devlin got the early lead! That fire, that heart, that resilience, THAT is how you make history! Will the Spanish Sensation move on from the Irish Ace? Or will Devlin have something up his sleeve to get another match with A-Kid?

Nina applauds that match.

“Bravo, gentlemen, bravo. What a match. Of course, it was A-Kid who came out on top as the Ironman of NXT UK. Hmm… We don’t currently have an Iron woman of NXT UK. Perhaps something for 2022, something that perhaps needs more Nina.” Well, Nina’s aspirations aside, will there be even bigger and more grueling matches in the New Year?

NXT UK highlights the Heritage Cup Championship story.

The Spanish Sensation started 2021 as the inaugural Heritage Cup Champion, having won the tournament back in November of 2020. But then he faced a friend and mentor in Tyler Bate. The Big Strong Boy dethroned A-Kid in May of 2021 and carried that cup on to raise its prestige. But even that reign didn’t last forever. After the second-annual Heritage Cup Contenders Tournament and another eight men battled it out, and it would be the Scottish Supernova who came out the #1 contender. And it was October 28th that Dar had his shot at Bate, and it was a wild one! Pretty Deadly had their part to play, of course, but we still ended up with a NEW Heritage Cup Champion.

Superstars send their Christmas wishes.

A-Kid is first to wish the NXT UK fans Feliz Navidad and a happy new year, but Amale also wishes us a Joyeux Noël, and then both Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith wish us all a very Merry Christmas. Kenny Williams sarcastically wishes “his good friends in Subculture” a Merry Christmas, and has even prepared a song. “Jingle bells, Flash Morgan smells, Dani Luna busted a knee. Mandrew’s got his arm all hurt and they think it’s cuz o’ me!” Merry Christmas, boys, Kenny’ll have a good time! Jack Starz and his cat, Mr. Jinx, wish us a very Merry Christmas. Wolfgang says, “Ho ho howl do you do?” He wants to make sure we all have an absolutely Gallus Christmas!

NXT UK referee Chip Danning even says Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Rohan Raja wishes those who support Die Familie a Merry Christmas. Dave Mastiff wishes us a Merry Christmas, and wants us to remember that it’s not what is under the tree but those who are around it with you that matter the most.

Next week is another special episode!

That’s right! It’ll be the Happy New Year’s edition of NXT UK! Will Nina Samuels be back for the festivities as we look back on the major moments for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships and THE NXT UK Championship? Speaking of…

Nina Samuels welcomes us back!

Nina knows she’s the Leading Lady of NXT UK, and of the very impressive NXT UK Women’s Division. So let’s look back at the action from those women in 2021. Any clips of her? Nope. What?!

NXT UK hears from Kay Lee Ray and Meiko Satomura.

“I spent my entire teaching others that we should help each other, treat each other with respect. And I can say with confidence, that that got me nowhere.” The longest reigning female champion in WWE today has beaten everyone put in front of her, and she wanted the Best in the World. She got the best, beat her, but the mission isn’t over. Meiko vows to become NXT UK Women’s Champion. Everyone who saw their first knew it wasn’t the end. KLR was very proud of that match, but she didn’t become champion by holding hands and making friends. She lost her friends for this title, and it was worth it.

Meiko came out as the substitute in the Women’s Gauntlet, won that gauntlet as the third entry, and has another shot. She’s been here for over a quarter of a century, but she’s neve beaten KLR. Meiko vows that KLR’s reign as “forever champion” will be stopped. KLR can’t believe the audacity of Meiko. Meiko was trying to have a legitimate rematch, but KLR had to go and kick her. Any respect she had for KLR is now gone. KLR says Meiko can call herself the Final Boss, the Best in the World and whatever else she wants, but she is NOT the champion! No one will take this title from her! But Meiko tells KLR to be prepared, because it’s happening! What happens when these two have one more round?

NXT UK Women’s Championship: Kay Lee Ray VS Meiko Satomura!

The Scary Queen of Scots claims that she will reign then, now and forever! She and the Final Boss faced once before, and KLR came out the winner. But will Meiko use what she learned in that first match to turn the tables and take the throne?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and for the second time on the NXT UK brand in the year 2021, we witness a historic battle!

KLR and Meiko stare down, KLR wondering if Meiko is ready for the rematch she wanted. Meiko steps and KLR scrambles back. KLR rushes Meiko, Meiko dodges and fires off KICKS! KLR blocks a kick to elbow the leg but Meiko still KICKS back! Meiko throws forearms and has KLR in the corner! The ref counts, KLR shoves Meiko but Meiko dodges the superkick! Meiko fires off more forearms, then KICKS KLR in the leg again. Meiko has KLR in another corner, the ref counts as Meiko digs her palms into KLR’s face, but Meiko lets off at 4. KLR rushes in, gets around, and Gory Especials! Meiko fights out, fireman’s carries, but KLR fights free!

KLR shoves Meiko away then bails out to throw a tantrum! Meiko pursues and ROCKS KLR with forearms, then KICKS! The ring count climbs as Meiko keeps kicking KLR around. Meiko puts KLR in, BT Sports Studio fires up, and KLR SUPERKICKS Meiko down to the floor! KLR goes out to fires off on Meiko in return! KLR puts Meiko in the ring now, then gets in to cover, TWO! KLR wraps onto Meiko with a chinlock, but Meiko endures, fights up and fights back with body shots. Meiko powers out but KLR whips. Meiko sees the drop down coming and KICKS KLR around some more! Meiko steps over the arm to mule kick KLR in the head!

KLR gets up, Meiko blocks her punch to wrench and KICK, KICK and SWEEP the legs! Meiko drops knees KLR’s chest, covers, TWO as KLR pulls hair! That’s different! KLR CHOPS Meiko down while the ref reprimands her. KLR gets Meiko up to CHOP her again! And CHOPS her against ropes! Meiko goes to a corner, KLR brings her out, but Meiko blocks the suplex. KLR CLUBS Meiko, cravats and snapmare rolls for a KICK! Cover, TWO! KLR is remembering how tough Meiko was the first time, but she strikes her pose. KLR runs in and CLOBBERS Meiko, then growls as she looms over her. Meiko sits up, KLR CLUBS her down!

KLR paces, brings Meiko up and reels her in for a suplex to GOURD BUSTER! Cover, TWO! But KLR drags Meiko into a KOJI KLUTCH! Meiko fights free to an STF!! KLR resists but Meiko still gets the crossface! KLR pries at the hold, reaches and crawls for ropes, to get the ROPEBREAK! Meiko lets off at 2, and BT Sports Studio is fired up as KLR drags Meiko to the apron. KLR spins Meiko to ROCK her with a forearm! KLR shoves Meiko back in, takes her time returning, and step-in KNEE DROPS! Cover, TWO!! Meiko survives KLR’s springboard improvisation, but KLR clamps onto her with a seated cobra twist. Meiko endures as KLR stretches and grinds her shoulders!

Meiko isn’t giving up, so KLR throws Meiko down by her hair! KLR seethes as she stands on Meiko’s face! The ref counts, KLR lets off and paces as she thinks. KLR brings Meiko up, whips her to a corner, but Meiko goes up and up, only to leap into a BIG forearm shot! Cover, TWO! Meiko isn’t done yet, she might be proving even tougher than last time. Meiko throws body shots, KLR clubs her and Gory Especials, but Meiko fights again! KLR ROCKS Meiko, tries again, but Meiko blocks and turns to a fireman’s carry! KLR fights to get the crucifix takedown to ghost pin, TWO! KLR tries a Canadian rack to get to the Gory, but Meiko slips out, spins KLR and hits a DDT!

Meiko turns KLR for a Gory Especial?! Meiko steals the GORY BOMB!! But Meiko can’t make the cover!! KLR crawls away as Meiko slowly rises. KLR turns around into a ROUNDHOUSE! KLR wobbles, Meiko whips, but KLR reverses to SUPERKICK! Meiko stays up and SMILES?! BT Sports Studio is loving this as Meiko throws a forearm! KLR scowls to forearm back!

Meiko still smiles as she comes back with another forearm! KLR forearms again, Meiko hits back, and we have a brawl! KLR gets the edge, whips Meiko to ropes, but Meiko reverses to EuroUpper! KLR drops and Meiko runs, HANDSPRING KICK!! A direct hit this time! Cover, TWO!! KLR survives and proves she’s tougher than before! KLR wrenches and reels Meiko in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! Meiko gets right to her feet and is smiling again! KLR can’t believe this as Meiko eggs her on! KLR SUPERKICKS!! Meiko falls, but rises again!? SUPERKICK!! Meiko still has life! KLR is furious, and she SUPERKICKS Meiko right in the nose!

KLR gets Meiko up but Meiko hits a HUGE SAIDO!! Meiko grins as she gets KLR back up, fireman’s carry and DEATH VALLEY BOMB!!! Cover, TWO!!! KLR survives and Meiko is shocked! KLR flounders to the ref but Meiko is aiming! Meiko runs in, into a SUPERKICK!! Gory Especial, GORY BOMB!!! KLR won’t end it here, she goes up top! SWANTON BOMB!! Cover, TWO!?!?!? Meiko survives and KLR is in disbelief! BT Sports Studio is thunderous as KLR panics and goes outside the ring. KLR gets her belt and wants to leave! She wants to use Champion’s Advantage! The ref stands in her way and wants her to get in the ring, but then Meiko is at the ramp!

KLR rushes in, Meiko dodges the belt shot and hits a DEATH VALLEY BOMB to the floor!! A ring count starts but Meiko drags KLR up and puts her in at 5 of 10.

Winner: Meiko Satomura, by pinfall (NEW NXT UK Women’s Champion)

Forever ends on June 10th, 2021, the 649th day of KLR’s reign! And it was a battle truly worthy of two of the best women in the WWE AND THE WORLD! Meiko raises the title over her head and streamers fly! She has dethroned the Scary Queen of Scots, what will it take to stop the Final Boss now?

NXT UK hears from Meiko Satomura and Blair Davenport once more.

Meiko says, “I have been fighting the best champions in the world for over 20 years. I always have to be strong.” Meiko came to NXT UK because there are many future stars here. Blair says, “She may have been wrestling longer than I’ve been alive, but let’s face it. People call Meiko a legend because they’re told to call her a legend.” You might’ve thought the Forever Champion, Kay Lee Ray, was Meiko’s toughest challenge. But Meiko is going to step into the ring with the undefeated Blair Davenport.

Meiko better do her homework, because she’ll need to find any kind of weakness or mistake if there’s even the slightest chance of beating Blair Davenport. Meiko says, “Defeating Blair Davenport? Easy peasy.” This battle is coming in two weeks, the very first NXT UK of 2022!

More superstars have season’s greetings.

Nathan Frazer wants to wish us all a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and hopes we get what we want from Santa. Saxon Huxley wishes us a very Merry Christmas. “There he goes.” Eddie Dennis would wish us a Merry Christmas, if he wanted us to have it, but he doesn’t. Xia Brookside wishes us all a very Merry Christmas, and hopes we all get as spoiled as she is this year! Sha Samuels says, “Oi, oi! The East End Bookie” wishes us a Merry Christmas. Eat, drink, and be merry! Cuz the odds say, it’ll be a good one. EAAAST!

The Thunderstorm, Sam Gradwell, has a message for the NXT UK Universe. His son says, “Merry Christmas, you bunch o’ yogurts.” And of course, NXT UK Champion, Ilja Dragunov, wishes us all a Merry Christmas, or in Russian, S Rozhdestvom.

Nina Samuels wraps things up!

“Well, well, well, you lucky little things. What a star studded line up of NXT UK Superstars there to wish you a very Merry Christmas.” Now she wants to thank us all for watching this special edition, and she especially wants to thank us for the successful debut year of the Nina Samuels Show. For all here at the Nina Samuels Show, she wishes us all a very Merry Christmas, too.

My Thoughts:

Holiday editions are always nice because they’re clip shows, and therefore copy-and-paste articles for me, heh heh. But great choices in matches, of course, with the Ironman match and KLR VS Meiko for the NXT UK Women’s Championship. I do agree that an Iron Woman Match would be great in NXT UK, especially if it was connected to the NXT UK Women’s Championship. Meiko VS Blair for the New Year will be a great match but I feel like Meiko retains. I’m still wondering if they’d do Meiko VS Millie McKenzie at some point, that feels like a good story. There’s also the slow build Isla Dawn is going through, too.

My Score: 8.1/10
