A-Kid & Saxon Huxley VS Die Familie!
The Spanish Sensation and the Divine Beast of the Astral Plane certainly make an odd duo, but there is a fine line between genius and insanity. Will these two therefore make the perfect combination to take on Rohan Raja & Charlie Dempsey? Or will Teoman’s presence ringside make all the difference?
The teams sort out and Dempsey starts against AK. They circle, feel things out and knuckle lock. AK rolls back, trips Dempsey, then has the toehold.

The Babo didn’t let his brothers in arms down, and he made sure they won out! Will these three do whatever it takes to take over NXT UK?
NXT UK Media catches up with Amale.
What are her thoughts on tonight’s big title match? Meiko VS Isla is going to be very interesting. But then Xia Brookside swoops in and greets Amale in French. Sorry for interrupting but she had a great idea. They should have a rematch! Amale is right, she is inspiring, and they could both learn so much from each other. So what does Amale say? Amale says she’ll see what she can do, and then says something in French, and Xia says she’s so excited, too! Amale heads out, Xia says thanks, and the reporters want to ask Xia some questions, but she tells them no, they need to go away, she is busy.
But then the camera spies on Xia making a phone call around the corner. “Hey, Daddy. It’s time.” What is Xia planning? And just how bad will it be for the French Hope?
Wild Boar VS Tyson T-Bone w/ Symbiosis!
Eddie Dennis shrewdly convinced Sid Scala to pit his minions against the returning Wild Boar before they ever face off in the ring. Will Wild Boar get through T-Bone to then take on Primate and be that much closer to vengeance?
Boar’s music hits and Symbiosis watches the ramp closely. But to their surprise, Boar rushes in from the crowd side! Dennis runs away, Boar dodges Primate and ROCKS T-Bone! Boar hits Primate, too, then fires off on T-Bone! T-Bone pushes Boar away and bails out, and fans are fired up for “BOAR! BOAR! BOAR!” Symbiosis regroups, Dennis tells Boar to stay back, and he even uses Primate as a shield! T-Bone gets in the ring, the bell rings and T-Bone says to focus on him! Boar and T-Bone tie up, T-Bone puts Boar in a corner and again tells Boar to focus on him. T-Bone throws a punch but Boar dodges to fire off haymakers!
The ref counts, T-Bone shoves Boar away bot Boar is right after him again! Boar wants Dennis to watch closely, but T-Bone pushes him away again to DECK him with a right hand! Dennis tells T-Bone to get Boar, but Boar headbutts back! And drops a SENTON! Fans rally up for Boar while T-Bone bails out. Primate stays as Dennis’ shield while Boar slides out of the ring. Boar glares at Dennis, but T-Bone CLOBBERS Boar from behind! T-Bone RAMS Boar into barriers, then drags him up and into the ring. Dennis coaches T-Bone, and T-Bone gets in, but Boar is right after him! T-Bone blocks the kick, puts that leg on ropes and KICKS it!
Boar clutches the leg, as that was the injured leg that kept him out of action for so long. T-Bone BOOTS Boar down, then drags Boar up to CLUB and KICK!

Winner: Wild Boar, by pinfall
Dennis runs for the hills! Boar pursues, the hunt has only just begun! Primate tries to get T-Bone back up so they can hurry and help Dennis, but will the Wild Boar catch his prey?
Ilja Dragunov speaks.
“Roderick Strong. Strong. That’s a word that I really admire. Because that’s what I needed to be since my very first day in NXT UK. This is the way how I became Unbesiegbar, and the way I became NXT UK Champion. Roderick, we both have the same mindset. We know that diamonds are made under pressure, and I’m sure there’s no one out there who can put me under pressure the same way as you do. It will be my honor to collide with you in the ring. But the Czar is a diamond who doesn’t crack under pressure.” The challenge has been answered, and in two weeks, we will surely Dragunov and Strong collide in an NXT UK Championship instant classic!
NXT UK Media catches up with Kenny Williams.
But the Scum of the Earth seems oddly jittery right now as he tells them to call him later. He doesn’t have time for this, he can’t find his car keys. And when he gets outside, he sees his car all opened up and a mess. This is what he figured. Good jokes. Here’s the keys. But now he needs to find his tires… Someone is messing with him, and he will find out who! Then they will pay for this. A car horn spooks Kenny, and the reporter asks if this might have to do with that note in his locker from last week. Kenny tells them to get out of his face. But will this person pranking Kenny continue to get under his skin?
Jordan Devlin VS Danny Jones!
The Irish Ace wants to get back to his former glory, but that means getting back to a title. Will Devlin use Raving Danny Jones as a stepping stone towards that goal?
The bell rings and they circle. Fans duel, and that annoys Devlin. He and Jones knuckle lock, but then Devlin kicks low and throws haymakers! Jones CHOPS back and sends Devlin staggering! Devlin CHOPS back, fires forearms, then CHOPS again! Jones sits down and Devlin rains down forearms! Devlin gets Jones up, whips, and CLOBBERS him with an elbow! Devlin JAMS his knee into Jones, then CHOPS him again! Devlin bumps Jones off buckles, throws more forearms then stomps him down. Jones turns it around to CHOP and CHOP and stomp a mudhole! Fans fire up for Jones but Devlin kicks back.
Devlin KNEES Jones down, then looms over him. Devlin brings Jones up to ROCK with a forearm, then ROCK him again. But Jones roars and CHOPS, then EuroUppers. Jones clinches but Devlin throws body shots. Devlin headlocks and grinds Jones, but Jones throws body shots back. Jones powers out, things speed up, but Devlin ducks, rolls, hurdles and drops, to then kitchen sink knee Jones hard! Fans boo as Devlin snarls and Jones writhes. Devlin stands on Jones’ head, taunts the fans taunting him, then he YANKS Jones’ arm! Fans rally up, Devlin drags Jones back up to short arm LARIAT! Cover, TWO!
Jones is still in this but Devlin shakes his head. Devlin kicks Jones but Jones throws a body shot! And another, and another! Jones fires off, throws big forearms, and fans rally up behind him! But Devlin blocks to DECK Jones! Devlin drags Jones up, ROCKS him again, then eggs Jones on. Devlin SLAPS Jones, “What you got?” Jones stands up but Devlin throws a forearm. Jones is snarling and he ROCKS Devlin back, then DECKS him! And then spins Devlin around to wrench and hammerlock, to a SLEEPER! Ripcord, ENZIGURI! Devlin staggers and fans are fired up for Jones! Jones runs in, SHINING WIZARD, to EXPLODER! Cover, TWO!
Fans fire up as Jones looms over Devlin. Jones clamps on a SLEEPER! Devlin endures, pries at the hold, but Jones turns around to throw Devlin over his back! And into a double chicken wing cradle! TWO!! Devlin goes to the corner, and he slips out as Jones runs in! Jones’ knee hits buckles, and then Devlin SLINGSHOT CUTTERS! Fans boo but Devlin gives thumbs down. Devlin drags Jones up, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, Devlin wins!
Winner: Jordan Devlin, by pinfall
Jones showed the fire of a Welsh dragon, but Devlin extinguished that fire! He then has the camera come closer to tell us a secret. “It’s a badly kept secret. I am so far ahead of this roster, they couldn’t see my arse if they had a set of binoculars. I don’t care who’s running around with the title. There is only one ace, and you’re looking at him!” Devlin says everyone knows it, but will he run into someone who can prove him wrong?
NXT UK hears from Moustache Mountain and the hottest tag team under the sun.
Trent Seven tells Ashton Smith that in their first-ever singles match against each other, Seven will ensure to win for Moustache Mountain. They will not have two losses in a row. But Oliver Carter says he got Tyler Bate, and y’know what? Ashton will get Trent, too. Ashton says it is his time. Trent will be desperate, but these two have been preparing. They’ve been studying everything. And they know Trent knows that they have his number. This match will force Moustache Mountain to accept that Smith & Carter have earned a tag title rematch.
Trent is finding his inner Zen and chi thanks to Tyler Bate, he still isn’t sure where it all comes from, but it works. Trent will try and do anything he has to in order to keep the tag titles. But Ashton says there is no way Seven wins because this means that much to him! Ashton won’t let himself down, he won’t let Carter down, he will prove to everyone they deserve this opportunity. Moustache Mountain may have won but Smith & Carter picked themselves up, took a look around, and what did they say? Ready And Forward, Always Forward!
NXT UK previews the coming Heritage Cup Championship match.
Mark Coffey has known Noam Dar for over a decade, and Noam Dar hasn’t changed. He’s still overconfident. But Noam Dark says Mark confuses things. He isn’t cocky, he’s confident in the work he’s put in as champion. The work that Mark has seen live in person. Dar made target practice out of Wolfgang and pieced up big brother Joe. Mark says he doesn’t need to learn from his own mistakes, because he learns from other people’s. Twice now, Mark has seen how Dar operates. Dar says there are levels to this, and he’s at the tippy top. Now, the driver wants to step to him?
Oh, Mark’s just a driver now, is he? Well this driver will run Dar right over on route to claiming that cup! Mark hasn’t had a loss in singles matches, or had a loss in British Rounds matches. So Mark isn’t letting this slip away. Dar says congrats, this is it. This is as big as Markus is gonna get. So enjoy it. Dar will hit him with that toxic left foot and it’ll be over. Will the Scottish Supernova complete the sweep on Gallus? Or will this Gallus Boy be on top?
NXT UK Women’s Championship: Meiko Satomura VS Isla Dawn!
The Final Boss has been unstoppable since coming to NXT UK, but the Wicked Witch of Scotland has built up momentum by taking treasures from her targets. Then Isla seemed to get even stronger when she let them all go. Will Isla become THE unstoppable force in NXT UK? Or will Meiko still be the Best in the World?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the two circle. Isla pie faces Meiko, then pie faces her again. But Meiko blocks the punch to fire off forearms and kicks! Meiko KICKS and forearms Isla against ropes, but Isla slips through to get a dragon sleeper in the ropes! The ref reprimands and counts, Isla lets go at 4. Isla laughs while fans boo. Isla CLUBS Meiko on the back, snapmares and uppercuts her in the back! Fans rally up, Isla runs but Meiko ducks the kick. Meiko grabs a leg but Isla kicks her away. Isla boots but Meiko blocks it! Meiko ROCKS Isla and uppercuts! Isla ducks the buzzsaw but not the ENZIGURI!
Meiko kicks Isla down, drops elbows, then kicks her around. Fans rally as Meiko drops an elbow. Cover, TWO! Meiko drags Isla up but Isla RAMS her into a corner! Isla digs her forearms in, but Meiko turns it around to give those back! The ref counts, Meiko lets off to ROUNDHOUSE Isla! Isla stays up leaning against the corner, but Meiko runs corner to corner, only to miss! Isla ROCKS Meiko from the apron, then HOTSHOTS her down! Isla is laughing as she drags Meiko out of the ring! Isla stomps Meiko, drags her up and throws her into barriers. Isla KNEES Meiko against the barriers, then puts Meiko in the ring at 6 of 10. Cover, TWO!
Isla talks to herself or whatever spirits she hears, and she drops an elbow! Isla gets in Meiko’s face, pie faces her down, then CLUBS her! Isla KNEES Meiko in the back and digs it in before clamping on the chinlock! Meiko endures, kicks forward, grabs at Isla but Isla shrugs her off. Isla JAMS her knee in again while fans rally up. Meiko fights up, pries the hold apart, and she back elbows. Isla PUMP KNEES Meiko down! Isla runs to stomp Meiko down! And then she KNEES Meiko in the side! Fans rally but Isla hits a METEORA! Cover, TWO! Meiko survives and Isla is furious! Fans rally as Meiko grits her teeth.
Isla drags Meiko up, but Meiko elbows away the back suplex! Isla ROCKS Meiko, reels her in, but Meiko throws knees! Meiko ROCKS Isla, Isla ROCKS Meiko!

Winner: Meiko Satomura, by pinfall (still NXT UK Women’s Champion)
Isla can’t believe it! Her powers were still not enough to overcome the Final Boss! But Isla still wants the belt! She and the ref tug-o-war over it, and Isla gets the belt! Meiko gets mad now as Isla clutches to the title she doesn’t rightfully own! Isla escapes through the crowd and into the shadows of the night! Will Meiko have to beat Isla down again to get that belt back?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode for NXT UK, but a bit of mildly disappointing news. It’s great that we’re getting Dragunov VS Strong for the NXT UK Championship, but I wish it was going to be at Stand & Deliver and not just a post WrestleMania episode. But at the same time, if Strong isn’t winning the title, I suppose it’s best to have that match here on NXT UK. Strong is of course over there as of these tapings, it’s more efficient to get that match done instead of having Dragunov fly to the States again just for the one night. But it doesn’t even sound like NXT UK is planning Prelude 2022, just having big matches on whatever episodes to make them into big episodes.
We got great promo stuff hyping up next week. Seven, Smith and Carter all had good stuff going into Seven VS Smith. As I said last week, that match could go either way, and we’d still get a tag title match for post-Mania. Seven wins, they’re tied, the title match is the tiebreaker. Smith wins, well then he and Carter went 2-0 and of course they get the title match. Either way, it’ll all be great, and we’ll see a great tag title match. Mark Coffey and Noam Dar had a good promo, they’re going to have a very good Heritage Cup match, and I could see it going either way, but they might keep the cup with Dar since he’s doing such great work.
Xia is getting her tiebreaker with Amale, and it sounds like Robbie Brookside’s friend is going to arrive to coincide with that. Chances are, that friend is the reason Xia wins, and it becomes the classic Heel wrestler & manager duo story for Xia for the next stretch of programming. And Kenny Williams has someone messing with him now, but I’m surprised he isn’t assuming this is Sam Gradwell. Maybe Gradwell isn’t quite so sneaky, so could it be… Amir Jordan? Is he going to return after Kenny banished him from NXT UK with that blow-off win a year ago? That would be pretty clever.
A-Kid & Saxon VS Die Familie was a good match, fans really love Saxon, but of course Teoman helps his guys win. Maybe A-Kid is heading to Stand & Deliver through next week’s Triple Threat match on NXT, and maybe he’ll be there full-time after this since he’s clearly just midcard fodder in NXT UK now. Wild Boar got a really good return match against T-Bone, and of course he wins. He’ll surely have the same against Primate, and then he surely gets his shot at Dennis, only to be cheated. And if the timing is right, maybe Subculture can return, Andrews & Webster have beef with Symbiosis still, and they can make amends with Boar.
Devlin got a really good match out of Danny Jones, and his promo essentially calling out everyone on the roster is a sign that he’ll end up with a big match in the coming weeks to go with the WrestleMania season. No idea who, but I bet it’ll be awesome, and probably a big win for that person. And then we got a great, pretty fast and aggressive NXT UK Women’s Championship match, great stuff from both Meiko and Isla. It was a bit obvious most of the crowd noise was BT Sports Studio pretending to be ThunderDome, as many shots of the crowd were just bored faces. There was a corner of the crowd that actually was into this, as they should be. Meiko wins, of course, but good twist that Isla literally steals the title. Meiko will definitely have to give Isla another match, and I’m sure Meiko wins again.
My Score: 8.6/10

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.

Taiji fights that, but Yoh ripcords!
Taiji blocks the knee but that hurts his harm! Taiji takes a swing, but into the ANACONDA VICE! Taiji fights the hold, wrenches out, and tilt-o-whirls, LA MYSTICA! BONE LOCK!!! 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
