BRM Reviews the (first) 11/14/2018 NXT UK

OPENING SEGMENT- Someone tell Hunter that when you have what’s clearly a title belt under a sheet on a podium to hide which belt it is, you kill all the suspense of the reveal when you have all of the women on the roster out there flanking it.
Two thoughts on this:
1. Rhea Ripley looks like a GIANT next to the others.
2. I was not a fan of having Jinny and Dakota Kai in the same place without Dakota trying to get her hands on Jinny for attacking her from behind last week. At least have them move towards each other and have Hunter warn them that he’ll kick them out of the tournament if they fight during this ceremony.


JORDAN DEVLIN vs. SID SCALA- 3/10
They did some cool stuff. Devlin took most of the match and got the win.

JORDAN DEVLIN INTERVIEW- it took him a little too long to getting around to making his point, which is that he doesn’t like El Ligero. Someone needs to teach Devlin how to talk into the microphone.

TYSON T-BONE VIDEO PACKAGE- he debuts next week. He’s relatively large.

KENNY WILLIAMS & AMIR JORDAN vs. SAXON HUXLEY & JOSEPH CONNERS- 4.5/10
Standard small babyfaces vs. big heels stuff. The heels (Huxley & Conners) won.

TRENT SEVEN PRESS CONFERENCE- He responds to Zack Gibson apparently calling out British Strong Style. This was a fine polite babyface promo accepting Gibson’s challenge. That match will happen next week.

TYLER BATE vs. JAMES DRAKE- 6.75/10

ASHTON SMITH vs. WOLFGANG (w/the Coffey Brothers)- 6.5/10
Another fine decent small babyface vs. big heel match.


Another completely blah episode of NXT UK.
