SINGLE MATCH WITH GALLUS, TEOMAN, & ROHAN RAJA BARRED FROM RINGSIDE: Joe Coffey vs. Charlie Dempsey- 5.75/10
This was a good little fight… up until the finish when the heel who were barred from ringside came out anyway, and the referee didn’t DQ their friend. Gallus also came out, and despite everyone who wasn’t supposed to be at ringside being a ringside, the referee did nothing. Dempsey won because of the distraction of the fighting on the outside. This match killed this stipulation by revealing it to be completely toothless.

SID SCALA ANNOUNCES A FOUR-TEAM #1 CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT, THAT WILL HAVE ELIMINATION MATCHES FOR SOME REASON- whatever

JORDAN DEVLIN VIDEO/PROMO ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND ILJA DRAGUNOV- AWESOME!

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN PROMO- fine
Seven teased that he would have retired if they hadn’t won. He said that Tyler Bate was the first
“Grand Slam” champion in NXT UK, even though there are only three titles, so that would be a Triple Crown, not a Grand Slam.

ASHTON SMITH & OLIVER CARTER PROMO- good
They’re coming for the tag titles.

MEIKO SATOMURA VS. BLAIR DAVENPORT VIDEO PACKAGE- AWESOME!

DANNY JONES vs. KENNY WILLIAMS- no rating, fine segment
Danny Jones is apparently both a student and good friend of Mark Andrews, who Williams is feuding with. Maybe set that up beforehand before you want it to become relevant so that it doesn’t feel like an ass-pull?
Williams dominated Jones, then hit him with his finisher an extra time, just to be mean.

SYMBIOSIS VIDEO PACKAGE- meh
They say things will change next year, but they said it in a weird way.

DURING THR COMMERCAL BREAK, KENNY WILLIAMS ATTACKED MARK ANDREWS- good

HERITAGE CUP RULES MATCH FOR A SHOT AT THE NXT UK HERITAGE CUP TITLE: A-Kid vs. Nathan Frasier- 7/10
A-Kid found himself down early due to a roll-up and had to fight back and get the win. We got a nice, babyface show of respect after the match.


A good episode of NXT UK.
Hold #712: ARM BAR!
