NXT UK Media catches up with Lash Legend.

They ask her about her big match with Emilie McKenzie. But she asks back, “Is it really a big match? Because I don’t have a problem with her, and you’re talking about Emilie McKenzie, the girl who carries Meiko’s bags and opens her doors.” Millie hears this trash talk and decides to throw hands! Refs rush in as they brawl, but Lash says you do not do that to her! They can go now! These two are fired up, will they burn it down when they have it out in the ring?

Die Familie talks backstage.

They want to celebrate, but Sid Scala rushes over. He asks them what that interference was all about. What does he mean? They’re a family. They look out for each other. But Sid says no, actually. For Dempsey’s next match, taking on A-Kid under Heritage Cup Rules, the rest of Die Familie is BANNED from ringside! Teoman calms Raja down, because The Eye always has a plan. Will Die Familie let Dempsey take on A-Kid 1v1? Or will Sid have to keep his eye on Teoman & Raja from now until the bell rings?

Kenny Williams VS Josh Morrell!

The Scum of the Earth is feeling rather jumpy after “The Masked Weirdo,” Tiger Turan arrived in NXT UK.

NXT UK Media catches up with Von Wagner in the gym.

They apologize for interrupting his workout, but Sid Scala has declared that in two weeks, it’ll be Wagner VS Gradwell. His thoughts? Von’s thoughts on Sam is that he and this entire roster isn’t as big as Von, as strong as him, and that- Sam Gradwell stops Von right there and says no one wants to know how big and strong Von is. And Gradwell isn’t afraid. Well Von isn’t afraid of Sam, Sam ain’t nothing! Von shoves Gradwell and they start throwing hands! Prospects and security have to break this one up! Will the Thunderstorm turn Wagner’s World upside-down when they finally meet in the ring?

NXT UK Media catches up with Moustache Mountain.

They ask Trent Seven & Tyler Bate their feelings on the Triple Threat. Well, to be honest, Seven would rather talk about the champs. The NXT UK Tag Team Champions, Moustache Mountain, are the best tag team NXT UK has ever produced, and the best team NXT as a whole has right now. It’ll be another win for them. But Tyler says they don’t have to get pinned to lose, so they need to be on their best. Right, right. Wise head on such a big strong boy. They need to reassess, regroup and talk strategy. The champs head out, but will they have a game plan for taking on Smith & Carter and Die Familie?

NXT UK Media catches up with Mark Andrews.

Is he planning on watching tonight’s Dog Collar Match? Damn right he will. Dennis has made life hell for the Wild Boar, so he deserves everything he’s going to get. Meanwhile, Kenny and Sid walk past, Kenny trying to get Sid to do something about the masked men. Speaking of people who are getting what they deserve… Kenny sees Mark and asks how the shoulder feels. Andrews wants Kenny to remember, he has more than one enemy around here. Andrews leaves, and Kenny grumbles as he hurries after Sid.

Dog Collar Match: Wild Boar VS Eddie Dennis!

Once part of the pack, Wild Boar was kicked out as the weak link. But after healing up, getting stronger and getting angrier, Boar has finally cornered the Welsh Dragon! Will Dennis finally answer for all the pain he put Boar through?

Wait a minute, Dennis is hesitating at gorilla position. He doesn’t want to go through with this, obviously, but he has no choice, because here comes Boar! Boar chases Dennis to ringside, already wearing the collar! He keeps Dennis from escaping through the crowd and throws him into the ring! The fans are fired up but Dennis tries to escape on the other side. Boar just DIVES onto Dennis! They crash into barriers, then Boar RAMS Dennis into the barriers! Boar whips Dennis into more barriers, and the ref wants them to get back in the ring so this can start. Boar throws Dennis back into the ring, slides in, but Dennis rushes him! Boar catches Dennis for an EXPLODER!

Boar gathers up the collar’s chain while fans are rallying behind him. Boar puts the collar on Dennis’ neck, and the bell rings! Dennis stands up but Boar reels him in to throw haymakers!

Boar reels Dennis back in slowly, but Dennis uses the apron for leverage to YANK Boar into ropes! Dennis laughs at outsmarting Boar, but fans rally up for “WILD BOAR! WILD BOAR!” Dennis snarls, he drags Boar up with the chain and drags Dennis out to RAM him into barriers!

Fans boo but Dennis tells them to shut up. Dennis gets Boar up to whip him hard into barriers! Fans chant “You Suck!” at Dennis but he says he doesn’t suck, the fans suck! Dennis drags Boar along with the chain but Boar RAMS into Dennis! Boar RAMS Dennis into barriers, then up against the apron, then back into barriers! Boar CLUBS away on Dennis and fans fire up! Boar puts Dennis in the ring, but Dennis goes out the side. Boar and Dennis have another tug-o-war, and Dennis YANKS Boar into the post! Dennis laughs at Boar again, then gets in the ring. Dennis uses the chain to reel Boar into the ring, then he taunts the “Lil’ Piggy” before he SLAMS him down.

Fans boo but Dennis gathers up chain to LASH Boar! And again! Boar writhes but Dennis smiles as he stands Boar up. Dennis scoops to SWINGING BACKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Another, TWO!! Boar growls and fans fire up but Dennis gabs Boar with the chain! Boar endures, fans rally but Dennis wraps the chain around Boar’s whole face! Then Dennis shoves Boar down and paces around. Fans rally up for Boar as he flounders to a corner. Dennis wants the piggy to smile, and he stomps Boar in the corner. Dennis stands Boar up, and uses the chain to tie Boar to the post! Dennis stomps Boar while he chokes him!

Boar endures, Dennis keeps stomping him, but Boar hits back! Boar throws big haymakers, but Dennis knees low. Dennis RAMS Boar into buckles, then drags Boar up again. Dennis ties Boar up again for more stomps, but Boar kicks back again! But the collar keeps him back! Dennis YANKS the chain to send Boar into buckles!

Boar drags Dennis to center for a cover, PRIMATE’S DIVING HEADBUTT BREAKS IT! The ref reprimands but the irony is that no disqualifications means nothing can stop Symbiosis!

Primate tumbles out, but Dennis fights the waistlock and ELBOWS Boar down!

Dennis endures, but Boar GAGS him! Payback for earlier!! Dennis still endures, so Boar wraps the chain all around Dennis’ face!! Dennis taps, Boar wins!!

Winner: Wild Boar, by submission

The ref tells Boar to let off, but Boar lets off when he’s satisfied! Dennis suffers just as Boar wanted him to, and now Boar stands tall! Is there a new alpha in the NXT UK animal kingdom?

My Thoughts:

A very good episode for NXT UK to follow up episode 200 and to move forward. Good opener in the women’s tag match, but I had a feeling Amale & Angel were going to lose to Xia & Eliza as the Heels use teamwork to get the pin on Hayze. They could have a rematch since it was a dirty finish, but there’s a chance the blow-off is Amale VS Xia in a No Disqualification type match, and that would be great for them both. Actually, the Heels won everything but the main event. Die Familie also used distraction tactics to get the win on Starz & Mastiff, but I like that Sid responded by making sure Dempsey VS A-Kid II will be truly 1v1.

Moustache Mountain had a good promo to hype up the tag title Triple Threat, and in this case, Seven bending the rules won’t matter because Triple Threats are No Disqualification by default. At the same time, Bate could still stop him from using ropes or things like that and that could cost them. Good promo from Von and Gradwell, especially with them keeping the script simple. That match is going to be pretty good, but again probably mostly from Gradwell helping Von get going in the ring. I like that Ivy Nile just went and asked Meiko, that’ll be a solid NXT UK Women’s Championship match. And good scuffle from Lash and Millie, their match will be Millie helping Lash get going in the ring.

Kenny VS Morrell was a good match but for some reason, they were having more people in luchador masks watching Kenny. It makes it like Kenny’s enemies are Wish.com Death Triangle. Why couldn’t they make all the masks orange like Tiger Turan’s? It was obvious the other two guys weren’t Tiger Turan, one was red and the other was blue. But Kenny and Andrews have a good exchange backstage, maybe they’ll have a match and then Turan and these other masked men get even more involved. I also still hope Kenny gets to expose Turan as Amir Jordan, we need to learn Turan’s identity and bring this full circle.

Good promo from Sha and Dar to further along Sha’s showdown with Kemp. Pretty sure this is just setting Sha up to lose and Kemp can challenge Dar for the Heritage Cup. I bet Kemp would do great in a British Rounds format, given his great amateur wrestling accomplishments. And we got a very good main event with the Dog Collar Match. Not the best Dog Collar Match we’ve seen this year, but still very good. And turns out, No Disqualification cancels out a ringside ban, so there are no consequences unless Sid kayfabe fines Symbiosis a lot of money. But Boar winning was a great surprise, though it doesn’t feel like they’re moving on. Primate might want after Boar to really dig into how they were a tag team as The Hunt way before Dennis joined them.

My Score: 8.4/10
