NXT UK looks back at last week’s title match.
Another instant classic of brutality for THE NXT UK Championship as Ilja Dragunov and Roderick Strong gave it their all. But in the end, UNBESIEGBAR withstood the pressure. Afterward, media asks him his opinion of Strong. He wanted them to wait a moment, he needed to catch his breath from that “near-death experience.” He found Strong backstage, and Strong was the one to say that Dragunov is special. They will see each other again. Dragunov looks forward to it. They shake hands, though Dragunov’s arm bothered him. Jordan Devlin walks in and mocking this “family moment.”
Devlin says Strong is lucky, dodging the Irish Ace. But Dragunov isn’t so lucky. When Devlin said “empty arena,” he didn’t mean tables and chairs and stairs. It was about not beating Devlin 1v1. Dragunov may have the title, but Devlin’s still the ace. Dragunov snarls as Devlin walks away, will we get another brutal instant classic between Czar and ace?
NXT UK hears from Sam Gradwell and Kenny Williams.
The Thunderstorm says, “Kenny Williams, you silly little boy. You horrible little school bug decided to stick your nose where it didn’t belong.” But the Scum of the Earth asks Gradwell if he wants to know why Kenny chose him. “Because you’ve got the biggest mouth. And I wanted to be the one to shut you up.” Gradwell says Kenny has no idea who he is or where he comes from. Gradwell grew up in the slums of Blackpool, and what it’s like to starve. He can’t bring Kenny to Gradwell’s street, but he can bring those streets to Kenny. That is what’s gonna happen in this Back Alley Brawl!
Kenny says Gradwell chose this! He wanted a match with Kenny, bringing the streets to him. Well Gradwell should relax. He just made the biggest mistake of his life! When they have it out, Gradwell will prove Kenny is just a scared little boy begging for attention. But Kenny says that what he’ll do to Gradwell when no one can stop him, “you don’t wanna find out.” Gradwell says there is nothing Kenny can take from him that hasn’t been taken before. Kenny is ruthless and resilient, because he’s the Scum of the Earth. But Gardwell says Kenny can’t hang with him in a Back Alley Brawl. Kenny will never forget the day he picked a fight with Gradwell.
This match- no, this FIGHT, is happening next week! Two men enter, but only one man will leave on his own power! Who survives NXT UK’s most brutal match yet?
Meiko Satomura heads to the ring!
The Final Boss’ reign is still going at just over 300 days, but the reason she doesn’t have the NXT UK Women’s Championship is because Isla Dawn refused to leave without it in her possession! The Wicked Witch has taunted Meiko with the title itself, but Meiko has a mic to say, “I am here to speak, Isla Dawn. Isla, you have something that belongs to me. COME HERE, and bring me my NXT UK Women’s Championship!” Isla obliges by making her way out to the ring. “Oh, Meiko~.” Isla says she is just blown away at Meiko’s kindness at extending an invite this time. Isla laughs as the lights, and the mood, start to change.
“Sadly, it’s not me you want to see, is it?” Don’t get her wrong, Meiko surely misses the title terribly. In their short time together, Isla has grown quite attached to it. And oh, have they reveled in purgatory together! But… Isla is willing to temporarily give this back. But on one teeny tiny condition: they have a rematch. And it’ll be under Isla’s own “chaotic” rules. Isla laughs then admires the belt. Isla carefully sets the belt down before Meiko, gives it a kiss, and says Meiko should take one last look at it. “Soon, it will be all mine!” Isla laughs and Meiko carefully picks the belt up. Meiko has already told Isla, if she wants to fight, she only has to ask.
But then Isla spits BLACK MIST at Meiko! Fans boo as Meiko writhes and tries to clear her eyes! Isla says her “ascension” will take place in HER domain! “In a world of darkness~!” Isla laughs again, but what does she mean by all that? What rules will Isla use to being her reign in NXT UK?
NXT UK Media interviews Amale.
They want to know if she will be watching the in-ring debut of Xia Brookside’s friend, Eliza Alexander. Of course she will. And Amale wants to use this time to warn her and Xia that while we’ve seen her sweet side, they can’t get it twisted. She is still full of rage, and it is only a matter of time until she gets her hands on Xia and Eliza. Then she’ll show them just what an angry French Hope looks like!
NXT UK share what happened during the break.
Gallus was not done arguing things out, as they could be heard from inside their own locker room. Joe stormed out of the room and the reporters asked what was wrong, but Wolfgang told Mark to just let Joe do whatever before slamming the door. Is the Gallus kingdom about to crumble?
NXT UK hears from Wild Boar and Mark Andrews.
Subculture’s high-fiving, stage-diving, skateboarder rockstar says, “People might not know this, but me and the Wild Boar, we’ve got a 15 year friendship. And out of all those years, the only time we weren’t on the same page was when Eddie Dennis got in the Boar’s head.” In Andrews’ culture, friends are supposed to stand united. Boar tells Dennis, “I know you’re scared to face me one-on-one, because when I get my hands on you, I will rip you limb from limb!” Andrews calms Boar down, they both want to get after Dennis, but it’s about fighting him mentally first. Dennis will never give someone a fair fight, he always wants the odds in his favor.
So that’s why Andrews and his chair are here! They’ll even those odds! Boar tells Symbiosis, “You are the hunted! BOAR! BOAR! BOAR!” Will Dennis, T-Bone and Primate have to watch their backs from now on?
Eliza Alexander w/ Xia Brookside VS Angel Hayze!
The French Hope has put the “princesses of pro-wrestling” on notice, but #LizzyEvo and daddy’s girl Xia aren’t going to sweat that. Will Eliza make a big impact in her first match here in NXT UK? Or will Angel leave her in a haze?
The bell rings and fans rally for Angel as she tie sup with Eliza. Angel gets the arm but Eliza CLUBS her right away! Eliza headlocks, grinds Angel down, but Angel fights with body shots. Angel powers out, things speed up, and Angel sobats hard! Angel runs, and dropkicks Eliza down! Angel hurries to then roll Eliza up, TWO! Eliza runs in, Angel gets around and waistlocks, but Eliza pries the hold open to switch. Eliza RAMS Angel into buckles, then CLOBBERS her from behind! Cover, TWO! Eliza tells fans to shut up, then she stalks Angel to a corner. Eliza throws a hard body shot! Fans boo but Eliza just stalks Angel.
Angel throws a shot of her own but Eliza CLUBS her down! Eliza drags Angel up, snapmares her through and then KICKS her in the back! Cover, ONE! Xia says the count should be faster! Eliza drags Angel up as fans are all behind Angel. Eliza bumps Angel off buckles hard, then stalks Angel again. Eliza KNEES Angel in the side, but fans boo again. Eliza soaks up the heat, KICKS Angel again, then talks some trash. She KNEES Angel again, and Xia is very pleased. Eliza brings Angel up, kicks her around, kicks her some more, then reels her in, only for Angel to get around and throw forearms and uppercuts!
Angel DECKS Eliza and fans fire up! Angel back body blocks in the corner, runs and SLINGBLADES Eliza down! Cover, TWO! Fans rally behind Angel but Xia coaches Eliza. Angel aims from a corner, tunes up the band, and Eliza stands. Angel runs in but Eliza blocks the kick to throw Angel down! Eliza then LARIATS Angel! Eliza still isn’t done, she drags Angel up by her hair, runs and SLIDING KNEES!! Cover, Eliza wins!
Winner: Eliza Alexander, by pinfall
Xia celebrates like Eliza just won a title! But Eliza did show she can just about take someone’s head off. Will Eliza and Xia take over NXT UK together, no matter who stands in their way?
NXT UK Media interviews Emilia McKenzie.
Millie has been here for over a year now, and has been building quite a winning streak. What’s the reason for that? Well, hard work pays off. And when you train with the best in Meiko Satomura, it’s hard not to follow in her footsteps. But Stevie Turner overhears this and says, “Wow, wow! I’m in awe of you, I really am.” Millie is so happy in her position here. In a world where everyone’s fighting to be number one, Millie chooses to be number two. But Stevie is well aware that Meiko chose Millie, too, because she doesn’t see Millie as a threat. Just something to think about. Stevie heads out, but will Millie show her just how strong second place can be?
NXT UK hears from Moustache Mountain and their challengers.
Trent Seven says, “They say that history is only written by the winners. Here in NXT UK, that’s bang on.” Tyler Bate says, “You’re looking at a pair of history-makers.” Seven has tricks up his sleeve because he and Tyler have to keep these titles! It’s all about winning! But Oliver Carter says Seven needed to swat Ashton Smith’s leg off the ropes, he needed to cheat, because he was desperate. It showed everyone that Smith & Carter are the real best tag team in NXT UK. Seven & Bate may have knocked the hottest tag team down, but they’re coming for those titles. They need those titles.
These two teams went 1-1 in 1v1, and despite the controversy, Seven says a win is a win. Smith asks Bate how he can stand by a man who doesn’t have the confidence in himself to win cleanly against Smith & Carter. Seven says he’s made it clear! He- they will do anything and everything to keep the titles! But no more disrespect and no more cheating. Their tag title rematch is TWO OUTTA THREE FALLS! The hottest tag team under the sun is gonna burn down the cabin atop Moustache Mountain! But Tyler says that if you do not learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it. So history will repeat itself here as it always does.
Smith says we will know once and for all who is the best tag team in NXT UK. And you’re looking at them right now! Will Smith & Carter not just be the hottest tag team under the sun, but will they become the freshest champions on the brand?
A-Kid VS Teoman w/ Die Familie!
The Spanish Sensation may have had a great showing in the States, but he is back in NXT UK to stand up to The Babo. Will A-Kid be able to blind the Evil Eye and derail Die Familie’s dominance? Or has Teoman already seen the future of A-Kid’s failures?
The bell rings and A-Kid circles with Teoman. Fans taunt Die Familie as Teoman and AK tie up. AK gets a waistlock but Teoman wrenches free. AK rolls away and the two reset. They feel out the grapple to knuckle locks, but AK waistlocks to drag Teoman down. AK gets a facelock, gator rolls then covers, ONE! Teoman scrambles to a corner and fans applaud while cheering AK on. Teoman and AK circle again, tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, and Teoman puts AK in a corner. AK goes up as the ref counts, and he boots from above! Teoman swings wild but AK stays away. The two go again, AK headlocks for a takeover, but Teoman keeps shoulders up.
Teoman claws AK’s face to get the headscissors! He holds tight as AK tries to kip up, but then AK moves around. AK headstands, turns Teoman over and rolls back to tie up the legs.

Winner: Teoman, by pinfall
Die Familie helps out again, and The Babo has a win over the inaugural Heritage Cup Champion! Teoman says, “The Eye saw everything!” Will Teoman also be seeing a title opportunity of his own in the near future?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT UK, with a lot of great hype for the coming weeks. Great highlight reel for Dragunov VS Strong, as well as a post-match promo from them and Devlin. As much as I wanted Devlin to try for the Heritage Cup next, he is definitely the next choice for an NXT UK Championship match. Though that’s mostly because they haven’t built anyone else up to do it. We also got a really good NXT UK Tag Team Championship vignette, and Seven is doing a perfect job playing like he’s not selfishly clinging to the belts. Being two outta three, the titles could go either way and Moustache Mountain will play it perfectly no matter what.
Gradwell and Kenny have a great vignette to hype up their match. A Back Alley Brawl is just an awesome move for this story, that match is going to be wild, and the outcome can definitely go either way believably since there are basically no rules. Boar and Andrews have a good promo together, it sounds like Andrews is just going to be Boar’s corner man to keep T-Bone and Primate back. Guess Flash Morgan Webster still isn’t back yet, but maybe the feud continues until he is for a big Six Man.
Great stuff in the opener out of Gallus as the Coffey Brothers do very well until it comes time to finish the match. Mastiff & Starz get a great win out of this, and if nothing else, Joe’s ego is going to lead to Coffey VS Coffey. They could break up, could make themselves stronger, but it’ll be good stuff either way. Good interview promo from Millie and a good add-on from Stevie Turner. They’ll of course have a match and I bet Millie wins that to keep her win streak going. Meiko and Isla have a good segment together, and I like Isla basically referencing Malakai/Aleister Black with the mist. I can’t wait to see what stipulations Isla suggests for this rematch.
Really good promo from Amale to keep us aware that the old Heel rage is still part of her Face character. And a pretty good match for Eliza’s first in NXT UK. Still predicting Amale VS Eliza happens first, and if Amale wins, she gets her rematch with Xia. If nothing else, Xia and Eliza should really be considered for NXT UK’s first women’s tag team to go after the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. And of course, a very good main event out of A-Kid VS Teoman. Die Familie of course had a part to play, and that gives Teoman the win. A-Kid is basically moving on to NXT USA anyway, so him putting Teoman over makes sense. But while Dar is a Heel, Teoman isn’t challenging for the cup. Though, I could see them turning Dar since he’s hilarious and fans love him anyway.
My Score: 8.4/10

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.

But Yoh suplexes, FALCON GOROSHI! Both men are down and the fans rally up again!
Yoh and Taiji slowly stir, rise up, and Yoh fires a forearm! Taiji fires back! Yoh fires another, Taiji fires another, repeat! They pick up speed and the fans rally! Taiji LARIATS but Yoh stays up! Yoh LARIATS but Taiji stays up! They both roar, and DOUBLE LARIAT! Yoh runs up but Taiji JUMP KNEES! BANG and BLOODY- NO, Yoh wrenches out to HEADBUTT! Both men fall and the fans fire up! Taiji and Yoh stir, but Yoh sits up first. Yoh roars, slaps his bad arm into working, and then crawls over to Taiji. Yoh underhooks but Taiji fights the lift! Taiji wrenches out but Yoh full nelsons! 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
