But things change quickly around here, and now they fight for a chance at THE NXT UK Championship! Will the Artful Dodger prove he is British Strong Style?

Vacated NXT UK Championship Tournament, Semifinals: Tyler Bate VS Joe Coffey!
And speaking of! The Big Strong Boy was the inaugural NXT UK Champion, he is the first and only NXT UK Triple Crown Champion, but he could make history by becoming a TWO-TIME NXT UK Champion. Will he be able to do that while also getting revenge on Seven? Or will the Iron King, who has tried and tried to get this title, finally make this Gallus’ Kingdom?

Once again, Joe falls short! And now, it will be Seven VS Bate! And Seven walks out on stage to stare Bate down. Fans taunt him with “Tyler’s Gonna Kill You~!” and “Let’s Go, Tyler, Let’s Go!” Seven stomps his way up the steel steps, but then back down them. Seven says Bate and everyone will have to wait for the title match. The story of Moustache Mountain will come full circle! Will mentor or student be the better man when it comes down to the NXT UK Championship?
Sid Scala speaks.
The Assistant NXT UK General Manager has a message concerning the NXT UK Women’s Championship. “It’s clear that each of these individuals,” i.e. Blair Davenport, Amale, Eliza Alexander and Isla Dawn, “are at odds with each other. So next week, we will see Blair Davenport, Isla Dawn, Amale, and Eliza Alexander in a 4 Way ELIMINATION match to find our new #1 contender to the NXT UK Women’s Championship.”
Blair again takes full credit for taking out Meiko Satomura and Sarray before their title match, so that makes Blair the #1 contender by default! And if the others want to get involved, that’s fine with her. She’ll gladly take them out, too, because she is going for the gold! Isla says the Fatal 4 Way is exciting. She can’t wait to welcome these beauties into her world! The French Hope says she is ready to be the first-ever French born women’s champion in WWE, and in French, she adds that “Nobody will prevent me from accomplishing my destiny.” And #LizzyEvo says she’s from Liverpool. Taking on three others in a fight is just an average Saturday night! Who will be the last lady standing in the ring to move on and challenge the Final Boss?
HUGE news for the WWE!
As of last week, it was announced that the NXT brand will expand its global reach past even the United Kingdom with the creation of NXT EUROPE! Coming in 2023, ARE YOU READY!? Of course, this does mean the brand we know as NXT UK will be coming to an end. What will that mean for all the champions and superstars here? You’ll just have to wait for when worlds collide!
NXT UK Heritage Cup: Mark Coffey VS Noam Dar!
As the current champion sees it, #AirMark90 and the Supernova 11 are 1-1, and just like any Heritage Rules British Rounds match, it’s first to two who truly wins. This is the tiebreaker, the rubber match, the blow-off for all the beans! While Joe Coffey may have lost, will this Gallus Boy stay on top? Or will the Scottish Supernova prove he really is the best Heritage Cup Champion ever?
The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and in a battle of Scots, there can only be one!
The first round begins and fans duel. Dar and Mark circle, Dar tests the waters with kicks but Mark shrugs it off. They tie up, Dar goes for the roll up, ONE!

They tie up again, and Dar goes after the arm. Dar wristlocks, Mark spins through and headlocks. We’re under a minute and Dar chinbars Mark to ropes. The ref counts, fans still duel, and Dar lets off slowly. Dar tries a kick but Mark avoids it! And the elbow! Mark knows Dar’s tricks and that frustrates Dar. Fans rally as the two go again, tie up collar ‘n’ elbow, then Mark waistlocks to SLAM Dar down. Dar fights up, Mark holds on, Dar goes to ropes and bucks Mark. Ten seconds, Mark CLOBBERS Dar! And arm-drags! Cording hold but the round is done!
Mark: 0; Dar: 0
The ref keeps Dar back and Dar cools off. Dar and Mark get a refresher from their corner men, and then we go to round two! Dar and Mark circle again and fans continue to duel. They tie up, Dar arm-drags fast, and he has the cording hold now. Mark endures but Dar hammers him down. Mark fights up, wrenches Dar to a wristlock then an arm-drag! Mark has the cording hold now but Dar stands up. Mark wrenches, Dar rolls, Dar reaches around but Mark blocks the fireman’s carry takeover.

Mark: 1; Dar: 0
The Supernova got impatient and that cost him! Will this count as a knockout? No, Dar is conscious, the corner man checks him while medics wait on standby. Dar says he’s fine so the fourth round begins! Dar staggers up, flops down, and Mark isn’t sure what to make of this. Dar shakes out the cobwebs and stands back up. Mark eggs Dar on, Dar shoots in, but Mark gets a half nelson! Dar powers Mark to ropes, whimpers as he tells the ref to back Mark off, and Mark lets off on the nelson. Dar then clinches Mark! Dar has Mark in a corner but the ref counts the ropebreak. Dar lets off slowly, but swings on Mark! Mark catches Dar, puts him up top, but again lets off.
Dar ROCKS Mark with a sucker punch! Is Dar just acting or is he desperately fighting? Either way, Mark UPPERCUTS him in the corner, runs back in and BACK BODY BLOCKS! Dar flops down, Mark goes up, but then Dar tumbles out of the ring! Mark is annoyed, he goes out after Dar, and he puts Dar in the ring. Mark hurries back up the corner but now the ref checks Dar.

Mark: 1; Dar: 1
This could be it! Both men drag themselves back to their corners for one more refresher, and we’re in the sixth and final round! Will we need to go into overtime? Or will it all end here?
Fans rally as Mark and Dar stare down. They step up to each other, fire off forearms back and forth, but Dar KICKS! Dar runs, but DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Dar leaps on for a GUILLOTINE!

Fans fire up as Mark fetches Dar back into the ring!
But wait! The ref is busy checking on Dar and SHA SAMUELS jumps in from the crowd! Sha POSTS Mark!! Dar aims, runs in, NOVA ROLLA!! Cover, Dar wins!!
Winner: Noam Dar, by pinfall, 2-1 (NEW NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)
The East End Bookie just screwed Mark!! Dar sees Sha is there and understands implicitly what his friend just did for him! Will this turn of fortune be just what these two needed? What will the future hold for the Heritage Cup as NXT UK becomes NXT Europe?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of NXT UK, even with the writing on the wall. They officially acknowledge it here that NXT UK is shutting down or being transformed, whatever the real terminology is, and we’re getting NXT Europe sometime in 2023. We already know from NXT on Tuesday that the plan is to use Worlds Collide 2022 as a way to fuse the current NXT UK titles with their NXT USA counterparts. And now we know what Blair Davenport was talking about being #1 contender, she is definitely going to win that Fatal 4 Way next week. That Fatal 4 will be an awesome one, but the impact is lessened with NXT giving out spoilers the last couple of weeks.
Great matches for the semifinal round of the NXT UK Championship Tournament. Great drama in Seven VS Carter over Carter’s bad leg. And great stuff out of Bate VS Joe, but of course Seven and Bate win. I knew going towards this tournament, we’d get Seven VS Bate, and of course we already know who wins, but it’ll be awesome to see how it goes down. And then we got a great main event for the Heritage Cup. And it seems that Mark Coffey not having the cup with him in NXT was a quieter spoiler as Dar wins this back. Sha helps him, but the irony is that Sha was among the releases in the wake of NXT UK closing down. Maybe WWE can/will bring Sha back once NXT Europe is up and running, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
My Score: 8.6/10
