BRM Reviews the (first) 12/19/2018 NXT UK

[Big Red Machine]

JORDAN DEVLIN vs. “WILD BOAR” MIKE HITCHMAN- 6.25/10
Devlin won, then cut an okay promo after the match.

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN PROMO- fine
They are going to get Gallas out of the way, then focus on the NXT UK Tag Team Titles.

RADZIE INTERVIEWS “FLASH” MORGAN WEBSTER & MARK ANDREWS- okay, enough already! We get it: Everyone wants the tag titles. You’ve been talking about these f*cking things for MONTHS now and made ZERO movement on actually announcing a tournament for them!

FABIAN AICHNER vs. EDDIE RYAN- 6/10

TRAVIS BANKS VIDEO PACKAGE- a good recap of everything that has happened with Banks so far… which is really just that he wants revenge on Joe Coffey, interspersed with Banks cutting a great promo about it.

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN vs. TYSON T-BONE & SAXTON HUXLEY- 6.5/10

RADZIE INTERVIEWS DAVE MASTIFF- Good
Mastiff was talking shockingly calmly for someone who looks like… well… Dave Mastiff. He got jumped by Eddie Dennis, who shouted that their issues were not over

PETE DUNNE VIDEO PACKAGE- fine

NXT UK WOMEN’S TITLE MATCH: Rhea Ripley(c) vs. Isla Dawn- 6.75/10
Disappointing. You’d think that for the first defense in the title’s history, they would have been given the time to ensure that it was something special, but not only did they not get it (they only got nine minutes!), but the match they did put on felt very… ordinary, even for the time it got.

This was an okay episode of NXT UK.
