BRM Reviews the 7/22/2021 NXT UK (GREAT!)

Post by Big Red Machine » Aug 11th, '21, 21:40

TRIPLE H, WILLIAM REGAL, & SHAWN MICHAELS ANNOUNCE THAT WHEN THE WALTER VS. ILJA ATCH DOES TAKE PLACE, IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE US SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT- bad
Can’t everyone just order Peacock to watch it in NXT UK? Also, if there were actual fans able to attend these shows, this sort of thing would be total bullsh*t. You don’t take the match away from the local crowd you built it up in front of.

Andy Shephard somehow knows immediately that the match will take place on August 22nd. Why didn’t Hunter and friends just announce that?

SYMBIOSIS PROMO- good build for match against Moustache Mountain. I was shocked that they let the minion talk.

NINA SAMUELS vs. LAURA DIMATTEO- 5.75/10
Nina wins clean with a new finisher (kind of a Stormbreaker that ends in a Go To Sleep).

TEOMAN & ROHAN RAJA PROMO- very good

BLAIR DAVENPORT RUDELY INTERRUPTS XIA BROOKSIDE’S INTERVIEW AND INSULTS HER- fine

SUPERNOVA SESSIONS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS JINNY & JOSEPH CONNERS- good… I think?
Dar managed to be such an obnoxious and slightly creepy little twerp that nearly turned Jinny babyface (he kept trying to ask her out, and also tried to suss out the true nature of her relationship with Joseph Conners, which they both insisted wasn’t personal). Then Jinny got up and said the only reason she came on Dar’s show was to cut a promo on Aoife Valkyrie and cut a total heel promo on Valkyrie. Both were great in their roles, and the fact that Jinny was able to remain a heel while getting creeped on is a testament to her greatness. She is right up there with MJF in terms of the best heels in the business.

JOE COFFEY VS. RAMPAGE BROWN VIDEO PACKAGE- fine

TRISTAN ARCHER vs. JOSEPH CONNERS (w/Jinny)- 6.5/10
Hey, they plugged wXw! And they gave Archer A LOT more than I was expecting. This was a very even match, with Conners eventually winning cleanly.

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- meh
Valkyrie proves that she is not scared like Jinny claimed she was by showing up and giving Jinny one of the feathers on her gear, signifying a challenge. That gimmick is very dumb and needs to go away. It feels like someone trying too hard to be artsy.

JORDAN DEVLIN PROMO- F*CKING AWESOME!
A-Kid’s with for an Ironman match against Devlin has been granted, and Devlin is going to end A-Kid’s career by targeting his torn ACL.

DAVE MASTIFF INTERVIEW EARLIER THIS WEEK- snore
Jack Starz showed up and thanked him for believing in himself.

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN PROMO- good build for their match against Symbiosis.

NXT UK TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Pretty Deadly(c) vs. Subculture (Mark Andrews & “Flash” Morgan Webster) (w/Dani Luna)- 8/10
Pretty Deadly continue to deliver when put in big spots. This match was excellent. Solid tag team psychology, exciting action, and they did a great job of ramping the pace up throughout.


A great episode of NXT UK full of great promos and finishing off with an awesome main event.
