There will be no fans in attendance for Ilja Dragunov and Jordan Devlin’s NXT United Kingdom Championship match.
During a video package that aired on NXT UK today, it was announced that Dragunov vs. Devlin will be an empty arena match. The title match will headline next Thursday’s episode of NXT UK.
In storyline, Devlin proposed the stipulation to take away the advantage that Dragunov gets from the support of the crowd. Devlin said he’s risen to the top in spite of the fans in the building, but Dragunov depends on the crowd cheering him on. Devlin said there could never be an even playing field for a match between him and Dragunov — unless it was an empty arena match. Devlin challenged Dragunov to face him in an environment where it’s truly one-on-one.
Dragunov accepted the challenge, saying that he doesn’t have to rely on external factors to be champion.
Dragunov won the NXT UK Championship from WALTER at NXT TakeOver 36 last August. He’s defended the title twice since then, retaining against A-Kid and Rampage Brown.
Dragunov and Devlin’s feud began with a confrontation on NXT UK last month. Devlin called out Dragunov and wanted a shot at his title. After Devlin mentioned Dragunov’s wife and son, Dragunov attacked him and they had to be separated by officials.
Next Thursday’s NXT UK will also feature a six-man tag match with Die Familie (Teoman, Rohan Raja & Charlie Dempsey) facing Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey & Wolfgang).
NXT UK #1 contender’s tournament, first round: Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz defeated Die Familie (Teoman & Rohan Raja) (w/ Charlie Dempsey) (09:23)
Die Familie had a new graphic and new, opera-themed entrance music.
Starz and Raja started with Starz getting the better of their early exchanges. Mastiff was in next and downed both opponents before Starz and Teoman squared off. Mastiff was back in with a senton, after which Starz hit a rope-assisted splash on the head of the family.
Dempsey pulled Teoman to safety shortly after and distracted the referee, allowing Teoman and Raja to double-team Starz on the outside. Back in the ring, Teoman followed with a missile dropkick to the back of Starz’ head. The heels double-teamed Starz some more, bringing him to the brink of defeat.
Starz finally made the hot tag and Mastiff ran wild on both men, then hit a rolling fireman’s carry on Raja before hitting a senton, that also doubled as a dropkick on Teoman. The referee was preoccupied with getting Teoman out of the ring though and thus missed the pin.
Dempsey meanwhile pulled Starz off the apron, but Joe Coffey suddenly hopped the ringside barrier to confront him. The rest of Gallus came out from the back and confronted Dempsey and Teoman, allowing Mastiff to hit a German suplex on Raja to score the pinfall victory.
Gallus and die Familie brawled at ringside, with Gallus getting the better of things.

– Amale was interviewed about her victory over Stevie Turner. Jinny walked in and called her weak and pathetic, causing Amale to snap, attack and berate her in French. Officials rushed to separate the two women.
**********
WALTER defeated Nathan Frazer (14:01)
This was called “WALTER’s Last Stand”, his final match in NXT UK before he makes the U.S. his primary area of work.
Frazer looked intimidated before the match. After some feeling out, WALTER slapped on a headlock and launched Frazer halfway across the ring. WALTER threw Frazer by the arm, then locked on a wrist lock and an arm bar.
Fraszer hit a dropkick, then went for guillotine, but WALTER picked him up and placed him on the apron. Frazer came back, but quickly found himself stretched over the top turnbuckle with WALTER raining down blows on him.
WALTER toyed with his smaller opponent, before downing him with a bodyslam. Frazer missed a quebrada, allowing WALTER to slap on a sleeper hold. Frazer escaped, then hit some leg kicks and a flying forearm that sent WALTER staggering. He followed with a running crossbody before WALTER downed him once more with a big boot.
WALTER applied a standing surfboard submission, which Frazer eventually escaped. WALTER took right back over, punishing Frazer for his insolence.
Frazer hit some chops and kicks, before WALTER hit a hard slap. Frazer turned a powerbomb into a hurricanrana and cradled WALTER for a near fall. WALTER came back with forearms across Frazer’s chest, as he was bent over the ropes, then locked on a sleeper hold.
Frazer escaped, then downed WALTER and hit a running shooting star press for a two-count. WALTER hit another big boot, but Frazer turned the second powerbomb attempt into a Destroyer for another two count.
Frazer hit two superkicks, then hit a quebrada into a reverse DDT, prompting WALTER to roll tor ringside. Frazer followed with a dive, got caught but still managed to escape and hit another superkick on the outside.
WALTER made it back into the ring by 8, but Frazer attacked his leg with more kicks. WALTER was limping, but managed to down Frazer with a right cross. Frazer came back, further attacking the leg, then hit an enzuigiri from the apron. WALTER chopped him out of mid-air off a springboard move.
WALTER went for another powerbomb, but his leg buckled. Frazer hit another superkick, a curb stomp (like his trainer, Seth Rollins), then followed with a frog splash for another two count.
Frazer went for a moonsault, but WALTER clipped his leg from behind, then finally hit a devastating powerbomb to score the pinfall victory in his final match on NXT UK.
WALTER stood tall as the show closed, while Frazer groggily hung in the ropes.
This certainly is the end of an era for NXT UK.
Final thoughts —
A great show with a fun tag match and a hard-fought women’s match.
This was a great send off to WALTER, who goes on to bigger and (hopefully) better things in the U.S.
For anybody looking to get another WALTER fix, also check out his awesome match against current PROGRESS champion Cara Noir from wXw’s 21st Anniversary show in Germany, which was just added to the WWE Network/Peacock. I attended that show live and the match is an absolute treat.
Next week —
NXT UK Heritage Cup: Noam Dar (c) vs. A-Kid

In two weeks —
NXT UK Championship: Ilja Dragunov (c) vs. Jordan Devlin
Ilja Dragunov’s next NXT United Kingdom Championship defense has been made official.
Dragunov will put his title on the line against Jordan Devlin on the Thursday, January 27 episode of NXT UK. It will be Dragunov’s third defense since becoming NXT UK Champion.
At NXT TakeOver 36 last August, Dragunov defeated WALTER to win the NXT UK title. He’s retained against A-Kid and Rampage Brown since then.
The feud between Dragunov and Devlin began when Devlin called Dragunov out on an episode of NXT UK last month. After Devlin mentioned Dragunov’s family, Dragunov attacked him and the two had to be separated by officials.
Devlin said he hopes Dragunov knows what he’s getting into by facing him. Devlin said he hopes Dragunov’s wife forgives Dragunov for it — and he hopes Dragunov can explain to his son Constantin why he’s had to grow up taking care of his daddy.
Devlin has called Dragunov pathetic for fighting for his fans and family. Devlin said Dragunov needs their approval, but all Devlin needs is himself.
Dragunov responded by explaining that his family isn’t a weakness, it’s what gives him strength.
WWE has also set a date for NXT UK’s next Heritage Cup Championship match. Noam Dar will defend the Heritage Cup trophy against A-Kid on NXT UK next Thursday.
The show opened with a promo video, highlighting tonight’s main event match between Meiko Satomura and Blair Davenport.
NXT UK Tag Team title number one contender’s tournament: Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter defeated Symbiosis (Primate & T-Bone) (w/Eddie Dennis) (09:37)
Carter and Primate started out and Carter and Smith had Primate under control early, before he finally tagged in T-Bone. The babyface team used some double team magic to wear the bigger T-Bone down.
Symbiosis came back and went for a double suplex on Carter, but Smith pulled his partner out the move and to safety. Symbiosis finally found their groove and worked Smith over, focusing on his back.
Symbiosis scored a near fall on Smith after Primate hit a frog splash on him.
Carter finally received a hot tag and ran wild on bot opponents. He scored a near fall with a quebrada but Symbiosis quickly regrouped and focused on Smith once more. Smith rammed T-Bone into Primate who was on the top rope. He clotheslined T-Bone to the outside, where Carter took him out with a dive.
Smith then lifted Primate on his shoulders and Carter hit him with a Doomsday cutter for the pinfall victory.
**********
– Blair Davenport was shown warming up backstage.
– Pretty Deadly were asked about losing the tag team titles to Moustache Mountain. They complained about some other teams receiving a chance at the title in a tournament. Sam Gradwell then walked up and told them to stop whining and complaining and told them they had to take what they wanted around here.
**********
An absolutely fantastic video on Ilja Dragunov aired.
He was first shown training. He talked about how his intensity wasn’t his biggest strength, but his family was. They then showed him with his wife and son at home, preparing food and playing. He said sometimes when his son falls down, he asks him “why do we fall” and his son replies” to get back up”.
He said his family isn’t his weakness, it’s his strength as they played clips of Jordan Devlin insulting Dragunov, using his family to talk trash to Dragunov. This was great.
**********
– Noam Dar was watching the match between A-Kid and Nathan Frazer on his phone while Samuels had jotted down all the possible ways for Dar to win on a flip chart. They settled on Dar to beat Frazer in the 4th round for 11:1 odds.
– Die Familie cut a taped promo. Rohan Raja said that they were a family and Metehan talked about how the eye sees everything and now it sees them winning tag team gold. He said it was nice that Tyler Bate and Trent Seven were friends, but their bond was stronger.
**********
Xia Brookside beat Myla Grace (03:50)
Brookside played crybaby some more, escaping into the ropes and complaining when her arm got worked over. Grace kept her momentum and the crowd was audibly behind her. She hit a 619 on Xia who was sitting in the corner.
Xia pulled her off the ropes, hit a kick to the back and hit Broken Wings for the win.
**********
– A-Kid trained at the UK Performance Center and talked about wanting to recapture the NXT UK Heritage Cup.
– Jack Starz and Dave Mastiff cut a promo about how they would win the tag team titles in 2022.
**********
Amale was interviewed at the UK Performance Center about her amazing video package and detailing her story and how it exploded on social media. Mila Smidt entered and told her that her story was inspirational.
Jinny then entered and told her it was a pathetic sob story, then left to catch her limo. Stevie Turner looked on and said that Jinny had a point. Amale flipped her lid, pushed her against the glass door and berated her in French.
**********
A video package on WALTER aired, talking about how next week, he would make his “last stand” in NXT UK and have his final match on the brand. He then cut a promo and said that he dominated and brought back glory, respect and dignity to this sport.
He said he was told great things about Frazer and that he was the future of the brand. WALTER wasn’t impressed and like everyone else, Frazer was in it for himself and was taking the piss out of the sport. He said that every time, the Ring General steps into the ring, he comes out victorious.
**********
NXT UK Women’s Championship: Meiko Satomura (c) defeated Blair Davenport to retain the title (12:57)
Satomura started out with leg kicks, then turned a knuckle lock into a Judo hip toss. She followed with an arm drag and kneeling arm bar, further controlling her opponent. They finally exchanged strikes and Satomura kicked Davenport off the top rope to the outside as Davenport went for a springboard maneuver. The champion kept on offense, using a surfboard and more strikes, sending Davenport to ringside once more.
Davenport used her ringside position to her advantage though, kicking Satomura straight on the jaw as she went to leave the ring, almost knocking her out. She hit a draping DDT off the apron to the floor, then quickly went for a pin but only score a two count. She hit a running basement dropkick for another near-fall, then locked in a chin lock.
Meiko finally made another stand, hitting a vicious suplex on Davenport, then locked in an STF, but Davenport managed to lock in a Fujiwara arm bar from the hold. Davenport went for the Falcon Arrow, but couldn’t get it and received a DDT instead. Meiko went for a Pelé kick, but Davenport caught her leg and locked in an STF of her own. She followed with more kicks and a running knee that sent Satomura through the ropes. Davenport hit a double foot stomp off the top on Satomura’s back as she was on the apron. Satomura evaded the V-Trigger, then hit two consecutive Death Valley Bombs for a two count. Satomura went for Scorpion Rising, but Davenport evaded and hit a knee for another two.
Davenport went for the Falcon Arrow once more, but Meiko evaded it and went for another Death Valley Bomb. Davenport turned it into a sunset flip, but Satomura reversed it, sat down and scored the pinfall victory.
As Satomura celebrated, Davenport attacked her from behind and hit three consecutive V-Triggers. She posed with the belt, then threw it onto Satomura and told her. she’d see her again.
Final Thoughts —
The main event was very good and told a great story. Meiko finally prevailed, showing ring prowess, but it was through a roll up and not a deciding move. Davenport’s attack prolonged the program afterwards.
The tag team match was a typical high level match.
The other women’s match was more of a showcase for Xia Brookside’s new heel personality.
The video package on Ilja Dragunov and his family was outstanding.
Next week —
WALTER’s Last Stand: WALTER vs. Nathan Frazer
NXT UK Tag Team Championship number one contender’s tournament: Die Familie vs. Jack Starz & Dave Mastiff
WALTER will bid farewell to the NXT UK brand when he faces Nathan Frazer on NXT UK next Thursday. It was said that, on the heels of WALTER’s appearance at NXT New Year’s Evil on Tuesday night, he’s requested to have one final match in NXT UK. General manager Johnny Saint booked Frazer as his opponent.
This will be WALTER’s first in-person appearance on NXT UK since the build to his match against Ilja Dragunov at NXT TakeOver 36 last August. WALTER dropped the NXT United Kingdom Championship to Dragunov at that show.
At New Year’s Evil, WALTER and his Imperium stablemates Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner lost a six-man tag match against Riddle & MSK. Riddle pinned Barthel to get the win.
Barthel & Aichner are the current NXT Tag Team Champions.The 2022 men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is kicking off on NXT in two weeks, and the team that wins the tournament will get a shot at Imperium’s title.
In a promo that aired on this week’s NXT UK, WALTER said the time has come for him to have his last match in NXT UK — at least for now. WALTER said Frazer is very talented and is the future of the NXT UK brand, but he’s not impressed because Frazer is in it for himself just like everyone else. WALTER said Frazer is “taking the absolute piss” out of this great sport.
WALTER said the one thing that will never change is that, when the Ring General steps into a ring, he will come out victorious.
Next week’s NXT UK will also feature a tag team match between Teoman & Rohan Raja and Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz. The winning team will advance to an upcoming number one contender’s match against Oliver Carter & Ashton Smith. The team that wins that match will get a shot at Moustache Mountain’s NXT UK Tag Team titles.
Charlie Dempsey defeated Joe Coffey via referee stoppage (12:31)
They traded holds and lockups early, but neither man could get an advantage. Dempsey got the takedown with a headlock takeover and went for a submission of a pinfall attempt that had Coffey in trouble briefly. Coffey came back with a bodypress and slam. Dempsey used his advanced technical skills to take down Coffey, but Coffey worked over his thighs and hips.
Dempsey came back by front-flipping Coffey into the corner, then hit some European uppercuts and a gutwrench suplex for a near fall.
Dempsey trapped Coffey in a hammerlock, then smashed him in the face with forearms. Dempsey escaped a fireman’s carry by raking the nose, then downed Coffey with a suplex. Dempsey actually worked over Coffey’s bloody nose, trying to prevent him from breathing.
Dempsey hit a headbutt out of the corner that downed both men. They had a lengthy striking exchange and Coffey finally downed Dempsey with a discus lariat. Coffey hit the double-jump reverse crossbody but awkwardly hit his hand. He followed with the Glasgow Sendoff, but Teoman and Rohan Raja ran in and pulled Dempsey out of the ring. Gallus followed shortly after and brawled with “Die Familie” (German for “the family”).
This allowed Dempsey to smash Coffey’s injured hand into the steps and actually choke Coffey out with a dragon sleeper. Coffey passed out and the referee stopped the match.
**********
A highlight video of last week’s great match between Moustache Mountain and Pretty Deadly aired. Sid Scala then congratulated Moustache Mountain, but said it was time to determine their first challengers. There will be a tournament starting in three weeks, when Symbiosis face Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter. The winner of that match faces the winners of Die Familie (Teoman & Rohan Raja) vs. Jack Starz & Dave Mastiff, which takes place in four weeks, to determine the new no. 1 contenders.
An awesome video on Jordan Devlin aired. It followed him through the day, from putting on a refreshing face mask before doing a 1,000 crunches in the morning, to looking out of his penthouse over Dublin, driving a sports car fast with the top down to meeting fans who adore him. He said Ilja Dragunov was pathetic, fighting for his family and fans, needing their approval. Devlin needs only himself. The way this was shot made Devlin the confident douche bag who can back his words up.
Moustache Mountain in-ring segment —
Seven said it had been a great night when they won the belts and now, after a couple of rough months, Moustache Mountains were back. He said they had felt sure in the past, against the Grizzled Young Vets and once against Pretty Deadly. Seven got emotional saying, he wasn’t sure what he’d do if they hadn’t won the titles and he wasn’t sure what he would do if he didn’t have them anymore. He said he didn’t know how long he had left, but then cheered up and said they do have the titles.
He then also said that they were the only team to ever hold the NXT and NXT UK tag team titles and that Bate was the first ever UK champion, held the Heritage Cup and now the tag titles, making him the first and only NXT UK Grand Slam champion. The crowd chanted “Grand Slam Boi” at him and Seven thanked the fans and everyone on the crew and the roster, then wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
**********
Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter cut a promo backstage, saying this was their time and they would become the next champions
A great video package on Meiko Satomura and Blair Davenport aired, showing highlights of both women. Davenport said she had become the number one foreigner in Meiko’s home country but had never gotten to meet her in the ring. Now Meiko was the foreigner in her country and she would score a flawless victory against her. The two women will meet in three weeks.
**********
Kenny Williams defeated Dany Jones (3:49)
Williams grabbed a mic on his way to the ring and said he didn’t want Jones, but Mark Andrews and told Dany to go to the back and get him. Jones wouldn’t comply.
Jones briefly dominated, but Williams took out his knee. Jones came back, whipped Williams into the corner, then hit an exploder for a two-count. Williams came back with another tackle to the knee, then hit Bad Luck but wouldn’t make the cover. He hit a second Bad Luck and easily picked up the win.
**********
Symbiosis cut a promo. Eddie Dennis said last year’s words belong to last year’s language but next year’s words would be different. He said this was a new year, a new beginning and things would change. They said they would return, leading the pack. That voice, was Symbiosis.
A graphic announced a “special holiday edition” of NXT UK for next week
Kenny Williams came out of a room, screaming there had been a “terrible accident”. Mark Andrews was on the floor in pain, clutching his arm and calling for a doctor.
**********
NXT UK Heritage Cup number one contendership: A-Kid defeated Nathan Frazer at 2:31 of round 5 (14:18)
Round 1
They shook hands at the start of the round. They traded takedowns early, until A-Kid hit a dropkick and went for the Fujiwara armbar. A-Kid kept Frazer’s arm under control. They evaded each other’s attacks as the round concluded.
Round 2
A-Kid started with a waistlock takedown. Frazer tried working over the arm, but A-Kid escaped and they traded pinning combination. Frazer scored a fall off one of them, much to his own surprise. Frazer 1-0
Round 3
A-Kid came out with a running kick, but missed. He tried a few more and finally scored, then locked in an arm bar, but Frazer made the ropes. A-Kid locked in an octopus hold, but Frazer made the ropes once more. He hit a quebrada into a reverse DDT for another near-fall. A-Kid locked on a sleeper, then a running kick and finally slapped on the Fujiware armbar, but time ran out and Frazer was saved by the bell.
Round 4
Frazer escaped a sleeper, then hit a dropkick but missed a double foot stomp off the top. He hit a twisting neckbreaker for a close near fall. Frazer actually hit a backward roll into a Boston Crab, but A-Kid turned it into a pinning combination for a near-fall. A-Kid threw Frazer to ringside, then hit a flying superkick back in the ring to score a fall and tie things. A-Kid 1-1
Round 5

A-Kid managed to lock in an armbar, which he turned into an omaplata and got the tap at 2:31 of the round. A-Kid wins 2-1
A-Kid offered his hand to Frazer after the match, who shook it.
Final Thoughts —
Another good episode. Charlie Dempsey has something very special about him. Not sure how I feel about him in a stable yet, as I would have liked him more as a lone wolf, but he more than delivers in the ring. He does a lot of little things that nobody else does and is super crisp with everything he does in the ring.
The Kenny Williams match was more a set up for an angle.
The main event was very good with some great action, quick pins and realistic submission attempts.
Next week —
A special holiday edition of NXT UK
In two weeks —
A special New Year’s edition
In three weeks —
NXT UK Women’s Championship: Meiko Satomura (c) vs. Blair Davenport

NXT UK Tag Team Championship number one contender tournament: Die Familie (Teoman & Rohan Raja) vs. Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz
Blair Davenport will be the next challenger for the NXT UK Women’s Championship.
WWE has announced that NXT UK Women’s Champion Meiko Satomura will defend her title against Davenport on the first NXT UK episode of 2022. The episode is airing on Thursday, January 6.
Satomura has held the NXT UK Women’s Championship since winning it from Kay Lee Ray this June. She’s made successful title defenses against Amale, Stevie Turner, Jinny, and Xia Brookside.
Davenport (Bea Priestley) made her NXT UK debut this July. She’s a former champion for Stardom and had been part of the AEW roster prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Davenport is undefeated since joining NXT UK. Last week, she defeated Satomura’s protege Emilia McKenzie. After the match, Davenport put McKenzie in an STF, which is one of Satomura’s signature moves. Davenport said she wanted a title match between the “Final Boss” and the “Ichiban Gaijin.”
A video package building up Satomura and Davenport’s title match aired on this week’s NXT UK. Davenport said she conquered Japan while wrestling in the country, but Satomura is the one match she’s been chasing.
The Thursday, January 6 episode of NXT UK will also feature a tag team match between Symbiosis (Primate & T-Bone) and Oliver Carter & Ashton Smith. The following week, Teoman & Rohan Raja will face Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz. The teams that win those matches will advance to a number one contender’s bout to determine the first challengers for Moustache Mountain’s NXT UK Tag Team titles.
A match to decide the next challenger for Noam Dar’s Heritage Cup Championship will take place on NXT UK next week.
WWE has announced that Nathan Frazer will face A-Kid in a Heritage Cup rules match on NXT UK next Thursday. The winner will become the number one contender to Dar’s title.
Dar won the Heritage Cup Championship from Tyler Bate on NXT UK this October. He’s had one title defense since then, retaining against Sam Gradwell.
A-Kid was NXT UK’s inaugural Heritage Cup Champion, winning the title by defeating Trent Seven in the finals of a tournament in November 2020. He was champion until losing the Heritage Cup to Bate this May.
Heritage Cup matches have the following rules:
There are six rounds for Heritage Cup matches. Each round is three minutes.
There are 20-second breaks between each round.
All matches are two-out-of-three falls.
Falls can be won by pinfall, submission, or countout.
Once a fall occurs, the round ends.
Once someone has won two falls, they are declared the winner and they advance in the tournament.
If there’s a disqualification or knockout, the match ends without the need for two falls.
If a match goes the full six rounds, whoever is ahead on falls wins.
They opened with an abbreviated version of last week’s Pretty Deadly vs. Moustache Mountain hype video.
Blair Davenport defeated Emilia McKenzie (06:01)
McKenzie looked strong early with an arm drag and swinging neckbreaker, which scored her a near fall at the one-minute-mark. Davenport came back with a tackle, then locked in a chinlock. They traded strikes until McKenzie hit a running spear for another near fall.
Davenport quickly ascended the ropes and hit a shotgun dropkick but McKenzie shot back with a German suplex. McKenzie went for her somersault spear out of the corner, but Davenport stopped her with a knee and hit the Falcon Arrow for the pin and the win.
After the match, Davenport locked a helpless McKenzie in an STF and screamed that she wanted “The Final Boss vs. The Ichiban Gaijin.”
**********
Moustache Mountain were warming up backstage
Noam Dar and Sha Samuels were about to enter Sid Scala’s office. Dar told Sha not to scream at the boss and be nice and quiet, so of course Sha loudly banged on the door and screamed that they were here at the top of his lungs. Dar wanted some congratulations, which Scala gave, but also informed Dar that next week, Nathan Frazer and A-Kid would be competing under Heritage Cup rules to determine a number one contender. Dar wasn’t thrilled.
They showed the clip of Rampage Brown being rendered unable to continue by an enzuigiri by Ilja Dragunov in their title match last week. They showed him being taken backstage on a stretcher and said he had been evaluated but refused further medical treatment and had been in no condition for a statement after losing the match due to ref stoppage. They will update us on further developments.
Xia Brookside was at the UK Performance Center, talking to somebody about losing her match to Meiko Satomura last week. The other person said it was a three count and Brookside wanted him to help. She then was interviewed about the match and went on a screaming tirade about it not being her fault that she lost, Sid Scala setting her up, her only having one week to prepare being unfair, then finally screamed at the interviewer to leave her alone and stormed off.

Jordan Devlin-Ilja Dragunov in-ring segment
Devlin said he was the longest reigning cruiserweight champion in history, the star, the franchise player, the Ace of the brand. He said there was only one thing left for him to do and that was to take the NXT UK title. He said he wasn’t like other challengers interrupting Ilja Dragunov, but wanted Dragunov to come out to his ring and face him. Dragunov didn’t take long to answer the challenge and walked out to the ring.
Dragunov said he appreciated Devlin’s ring ability but said where he comes from, people don’t talk so much and if Devlin wanted a title match, why did he not just ask for it?
Devlin said he knew who Dragunov won the title from and defended it against, men to whom the sport was honorable and the mat was sacred. He also said that he is not like those men, he won’t stop if Dragunov knocks him out or quit, if he breaks his nose. He said to him, nothing between these ropes was sacred, if Dragunov gave him a chance he would only require one and would end his career to take the title and won’t lose any sleep over it.
Dragunov smiled and said that nothing Devlin said or did could intimidate him, scare him or make him nervous. He was prepared for everything Devlin could bring.
Devlin replied that he hoped that Dragunov knew what he got himself into and that “his little wife at home” forgave him for it. He also said that he hopes that Dragunov could explain to “your little boy – Konstantin, right?” – why he had to grow up taking care of his daddy. Dragunov looked incredulous, then decked Devlin as officials ran to the ring to break things up. Devlin smiled as he was led away.
This was a money promo if there ever was one. I now want to see this match take place in a big stadium and want to pay money to attend it at ringside. This was a blood feud on a personal level materializing out of thin air within minutes.
**********
An amazing video on Amale aired, which immediately transformed her from an arrogant heel to a lovable babyface. She said she had been perceived as ruthless and aggressive during her stay in NXT UK, but there was a reason for it. She had been told “no” all her life when all she wanted was to become a wrestler with WWE. They aired clips and videos of her childhood of Moroccan immigrants in France. She said she had two master’s degrees, had become a teacher and could have been anything she wanted, but she wanted to become a wrestler. She was tired of her parents telling her no and telling her to go to law school instead. She was tired of the parents of the children in her school telling her she couldn’t do WWE. She was crying and emotional during the video and it really tore at the heartstrings of everybody watching with a soul. She concluded that she was Amale and she was Hope.
Kenny Williams cut a promo on Mark Andrews, calling him a pretender and calling him being a rock star and a skateboarder and act. He said he recognized that, as he had been a pretender too for much of his life. He said Andrews was all that was left of Subculture and once he was done with him, there would only be Scum Culture.
**********
Sam Gradwell defeated Sha Samuels (w/ Noam Dar) (06:53)
They went back and forth early, with Samuels trying to go for Gradwell’s surgically repaired leg. They took turns flattening each other with lariats, then Gradwell clotheslines Samuels over the top rope. He followed with a clothesline off the apron. Samuels then pulled Gradwell off the apron and slammed him on the mats outside. Back in the ring, Samuels slammed him once more, then hit a suplex for a near fall.
Samuels took off his suspenders and threatened to beat Gradwell with them. Gradwell, also a despicable heel, grabbed Samuels’ scarf, wrapped it around his neck and pretended that Dar choked him with it from the outside. Dar seemed to confirm to the referee as he tried to take the scarf off Gradwell.
The referee was close to disqualifying Samuels when Dar jumped on the apron, distracting the ref and allowing Gradwell to whip the scarf into Samuels’ nether regions. He followed up with the fireman’s carry power bomb for the win.

Gallus were in an underground garage, putting something into the trunk of their car. They once more acted like an Irish crime syndicate who were feuding with rivaling crime syndicate, headed by Teoman. Wolfgang suggested Joe Coffey leave a mark on Charlie Dempsey. They got into their car as police sirens approached.
They promoted the Nathan Frazer vs. A-Kid Heritage Cup match for next week. Both men talked about the match and once more, they went the extra mile in the buildup. A-Kid actually talked about adapting his training with more of an emphasis on strength in order to subdue Frazer. He said timing beats speed. Frazer on the other hand said he’d force A-Kid to play his game, take him to the sky and drop him. He said winning here would be the biggest moment of his life.

NXT UK Tag Team Championship: Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) defeated Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley) to win the titles (17:49)
Moustache Mountain were in control early, with Bate using speed and technique, then both members of Moustache Mountain clotheslined Pretty Deadly to the outside. They then hit stereo vertical suplexes before Seven hit a top rope knee drop on Howley for a two count. Seven’s left hand was taped and he was favoring it, which the announcers pointed out.
They threw Seven to ringside, where Stoker rammed Seven into the steps. Back in the ring, Seven managed to fight free and ended up on the top rope, but got his legs taken out and took a brutal bump right on his head and neck from the top. The champs hit a double elbow/leg drop on Seven, then worked him over some more in and out of the ring. Seven finally made the hot tag and Bate ran wild on both opponents.
He hit an exploder followed by a running shooting star press on Howley, then went for the Tyler Driver ’97 and after some back and forth counters, hit the move for a close near-fall. Howley tagged out and Stoker hit an assisted gutbuster for a near fall of his own. Pretty Deadly went for the trademark Moustache Mountain slingshot lariat/dragon suplex combo but Bate ducked and the champs took out each other.
Seven was back in and hit the snap DDT on Howley, followed by the Seven Star Lariat for another close two-count. Pretty Deadly came back and hit Spilled Milk on Seven, with Bate narrowly making the save. Bate hit a dive through the ropes, but Stoker caught him and Pretty Deadly hit Spilled Milk on Bate on the outside.
Howley hit a powerbomb on Seven, the deadlifted him and hot another on on Stoker’s knee but Seven still managed to kick out. Howley managed to distract the referee with a title belt and snuck another one to Stoker who hit Seven with it. Seven somehow managed to kick out from the cover that followed.
Bate finally made it in, hit a rolling kick and Tyler Driver 97 on Howley. He took his time going to the top rope while Seven picked Stoker up for the Birminghammer and dropped him on Howley. Bate then followed with the Big Spiral Boi from the top and covered Howley for the title win.
Moustache Mountain are your new NXT UK Tag Team Champions and Tyler Bate is the first-ever NXT UK Triple Crown champion. This was a fantastic match.
Final Thoughts —
This was one of the best episodes of NXT UK in 2021.
The main event was fantastic and concluded Trent Seven’s redemption storyline that started more than a year ago with him losing in the Heritage Cup finals, losing to Jordan Devlin in their feud over the cruiserweight title and costing Bate the Heritage Cup. It also helped that those two teams are among the best in the UK if not the world right now and Pretty Deadly are criminally underrated.
Add to that the Dragunov/Devlin segment that felt very raw and personal and had some of the best mic work all year in WWE, the great Amale profile video and the A-Kid/Frazer hype video that felt more like a UFC Countdown style match profile. Davenport/McKenzie also was good and built to a Davenport/Satomura match down the line while Samuels/Gradwell was a fun mean guy hoss fight.
I’d recommend going out of your way to watch this one.
Next week —
Heritage Cup Rules: A-Kid vs. Nathan Frazer to determine the new number one contender to the Heritage Cup
Moustache Mountain are finally the NXT UK Tag Team Champions.
In the main event of this week’s NXT UK episode, Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) defeated Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley) to win the NXT UK Tag Team titles. The story for the match included Seven not knowing what would be next for his career if Moustache Mountain didn’t win.
Bate pinned Howley to win the titles. After hitting Tyler Driver ’97 on Howley, Bate struggled to get to the top rope. Stoker tried to help his partner, but Seven cut him off and gave him a Birminghammer on top of Howley. Bate then got the win by hitting a Spiral Tap on both Pretty Deadly members.
This is Bate & Seven’s first reign as NXT UK Tag Team Champions. They did briefly hold the US version of the NXT Tag Team titles in 2018, winning them from Undisputed Era’s Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong before then dropping the titles back to O’Reilly & Strong.
Having previously held the NXT United Kingdom Championship and Heritage Cup Championship, Bate is NXT UK’s first triple crown champion. Bate lost the Heritage Cup Championship to Noam Dar this October due to interference by Pretty Deadly.
Pretty Deadly had been NXT UK Tag Team Champions since winning the titles from Gallus’ Mark Coffey & Wolfgang this February.
Joseph Conners, a longtime roster member of WWE NXT UK, is now reportedly a free agent.
The news was first reported by BodySlam.net. It’s unknown whether his departure was his decision or WWE’s.
Conners made a surprise appearance for indie British Wrestling Revolution on Friday, attacking their heavyweight champion after the main event. Conners tweeted a two-minute promo Saturday afternoon along with “No Restrictions.” On Sunday, it was announced he will be making an appearance for Wrestle Carnival in late-January.
The 34-year-old competed in the first-ever NXT UK title tournament in January 2017, but also worked frequently on the indie circuit during his time there. While mainly on the NXT UK brand, Conners did make his main roster debut in 2017 as part of 205 Live when WWE was touring in England.
He only appeared in four NXT UK matches in 2020 and just six matches this year with the last one airing in July.
The show opened with a highlight video for Dragunov vs. Brown tonight.
NXT UK Women’s Championship: Meiko Satomura defeated Xia Brookside to retain the title (07:58)
Satomura controlled Brookside early on. Brookside got the upper hand, but got overwhelmed again in short order. Satomura applied an arm bar around the five minute mark, but Brookside made the ropes, then went on the attack once more. Satomura missed an enzuigiri and Brookside scored a near-fall after a codebreaker, then threw a tantrum when she couldn’t score a three-count.
Satomura hit the Death Valley Driver, then finished Brookside off with Scorpion Rising for the successful title defense.
**********
Charlie Dempsey and Rohan Raja were at an apartment, Raja suggested they go to the roof. As they looked over the city, Raja said that Teoman sent his gratitude and asked Dempsey what was important to him. He said legacy and heritage were important, and he knew it was the same for Raja. Raja had been on the phone with Teoman and welcomed Dempsey to “the familia.” They shook hands.
Meiko Satomura was greeted backstage by Emilia McKenzie and was asked about her future plans. Satomura said she would be going home to Japan for a few weeks. Blair Davenport then walked up and asked Emilia McKenzie what she was going to do without her only friend there to protect her? McKenzie said she would be just fine and Davenport challenged her to a match, which Emilia accepted. Davenport also told Satomura to bring her back a present from Japan.
**********
Saxon Huxley beat Kenny Williams (08:14)
This was a rematch from a few weeks ago, where Williams cheated to win.
Williams threw his jacket at Huxley at the bell, but Huxley caught it and started dismantling Williams. He hit a running crossbody into the ropes, then followed Williams to ringside and leveled him with a clothesline. Back in the ring, Huxley kept up the attacks and ragdolled Williams around.
Williams ducked a corner attack and Huxley tumbled to the outside. Williams attacked him there, then kept the pressure on in the ring. Williams hit a sit-down splash onto Huxley’s back for a near-fall, then worked over Huxley’s knees and upper legs.
Huxley came back and deadlifted Williams into a gorilla press. Huxley missed and elbow from the middle rope, allowing Williams to hit a running DDT. Suddenly, Subculture’s music played and Williams, like an idiot, ignored his opponent and got on the ropes, looking towards the entrance.
Huxley hit a hip attack into the corner, then hit a fireman’s carry into a powerbomb for the win.
**********
Sha Samuels had a board with odds for various challengers to the NXT UK Cup. Sam Gradwell was at the bottom with 4000 to 1 odds. He walked in and took offense, then challenged Samuels for next week and bet 10 pounds on himself, at the same odds.
A graphic announced Blair Davenport vs. Emilia McKenzie for next week, plus Pretty Deadly vs. Moustache Mountain for the NXT UK tag team titles. They then aired a very good hype video with great promos by both teams.
**********
NXT UK championship: Ilja Dragunov defeated Rampage Brown by referee stoppage to retain the title (08:50)
They locked up, Brown backed Dragunov into the corner, but the champion evaded a big punch and shortly thereafter, a back elbow, then hit a chop of his own.
Brown finally hit a punch off a break in the corner, but Dragunov immediately punished him with strikes, then trapped Brown in a side headlock, not even breaking the hold off a backdrop driver. Dragunov locked the hold on twice more off whips, but eventually had to release after another high-angle suplex.
They ended at ringside, and Brown repeatedly rammed Dragunov into the corner posts. Brown repeatedly slammed Dragunov, then started working over the champion’s lower back.
Dragunov briefly fought back with kicks off his back, but Brown kept attacking relentlessly. Dragunov escaped a Doctor Bomb attempt, then managed a back body drop off a powerbomb attempt. Dragunov managed to hit an enzuigiri out of desperation that put down Brown hard.
A replay showed Dragunov’s toe hitting Brown in the temple or jaw. The doctor checked him out and the referee called a stop to the contest.
Final thoughts —
The main event was great while it lasted, but it looked like a legitimate Referee/doctor stoppage and a very anticlimactic finish. I hope this leads to a rematch down the line.
The other two matches were fine, but not very memorable. Other than the first seven minutes of the main event, the highlights of the show were the Charlie Dempsey/Rohan Raja segment and the Pretty Deadly and Moustache Mountain promos.
Next week —
NXT UK Tag Team Championship: Pretty Deadly (c) vs. Moustache Mountain
Dates have been set for the next NXT UK Women’s Championship and NXT UK Tag Team Championship matches.
Women’s Champion Meiko Satomura will defend her title against Xia Brookside on the December 2 episode of NXT UK. That match was announced on today’s episode of the show.

On the December 9 edition of NXT UK, Pretty Deadly’s Lewis Hower and Sam Stoker will defend their Tag Team Championships against Moustache Mountain’s Tyler Bate and Trent Seven. Bate and Seven won a four-way number one contender’s match on the November 11 episode of the show to set up the title bout.
Previously announced, the NXT UK Championship will also be on the line on the December 2 episode, as Ilja Dragunov defends the title against top contender Rampage Brown.
Backstage before the match, Andrews was very upset about something. Flash Morgan Webster came in and told him to focus on his match and they’d sort things out later.
Devlin humiliated Andrews early, but he came back with some innovative offense and eventually slapped Devlin hard across the face. Devlin took back over and attacked Andrews’ back, wearing him down. Andrews eventually hit a tornado DDT, then followed up with an enzuigiri, roll through and double foot stomp to the stomach.
He caught Devlin mid-air and hit a sit-down power bomb for a near-fall. Devlin eventually came back with a slingshot cutter over the top rope and scored a near-fall of his own. Devlin went for the Spanish Fly off the top, but Andrews stopped him and hit a top-rope poison rana followed by a Code Red for a close near-fall.
Andrews hit a shooting star press off the top but Devlin got his knees up, went for a cover and a suplex, but Andrews turned it into a Stun Dog Millionaire. Devlin rolled to ringside, but Andrews hit a moonsault to the outside. Devlin slammed Andrews into the barricades and he narrowly made it back into the ring. Devlin downed him with a head butt, then hit Devlin Inside for the pin and the win.
**********
Sid Scala announced that Pretty Deadly vs. Moustache Mountain II for the Tag Team titles would take place in two weeks
A video recapped Charlie Dempsey attacking Joe Coffey last week, leading to Gallus losing to Teoman and Rohan Raja. They then showed scenes of Dempsey choking out Joe Coffey in the ropes and Dempsey posing with Teoman and Raja. The announcers questioned whether he had joined Teoman’s family.
Gallus then cut a promo, with Joe Coffey saying that now the numbers were even, Dempsey had gotten one lucky shot, but he would now get his head kicked in.
Scenes from earlier in the week showed Sam Gradwell walking out of his hotel room, presumably in the middle of the night due to some party noise. Noam Dar and Sha Samuels were having a wild party and Gradwell complained, then suggested a match. Dar accepted.
Scala was backstage at the arena about to make an announcement when Gradwell walked up to him and complained that the match with Dar was not for the Heritage Cup. Dar and Samuels came up and said that Gradwell had to win some matches before earning a shot. Suddenly, a hand clapped Dar on the shoulder and it was the returning Johnny Saint. He said they’d do whatever Scala wanted and Scala made the match for the Heritage Cup. Scala and Saint then embraced.
**********
Isla Dawn defeated Aleah James (04:20)
Isla Dawn had her box, containing trinkets from various women on the roster, with her.
James controlled Dawn’s wrist early, but then got overwhelmed. She came back with a dropkick, then was pulled into the ropes, killing her momentum. Dawn applied a modified cobra clutch, but James escaped and hit a series of crossbodies. She turned a suplex attempt into a small package for a near-fall.
James ended up on the turnbuckles and Dawn picked her up and hit a fireman’s carry into a side slam for the pinfall victory.
Dawn then grabbed her box, looked creepy and returned James’ headband that she had stolen a while ago.
**********
Sid Scala was in his office when Xia Brookside was hear whining and complaining. She walked in and whined about her title match with Meiko Satomura, which she claimed Scala had promised her. He said he didn’t. She kept shrieking about how her daddy promised to talk to him. He finally gave in and made the match for next week. Brookside then complained some more, saying a week wasn’t enough time to prepare. Scala said next week or not at all. Brookside grumpily agreed and stomped off.
Moustache Mountain and Pretty Deadly both cut promos about their tag team title match in two weeks. Both promised to win.
**********
Jinny defeated Angel Hayze (02:38)
Hayze was already in the ring when Dani Luna’s music played but she didn’t come out. Instead, Jinny came out, said she had taken care of Luna and Flash and Mark would have to live without her for a very long time. She also said that she was handling things on her own now and her business relationship with Joseph Conners was over. She said she was getting her winning streak back on track and Hayze accepted.
Jinny beat down Hayze, then locked in a reverse chinlock. She hit a clothesline, then followed up with the Makeover from the turnbuckles for the quick win.
**********
Nina Samuels tried interviewing Meiko Satomura for her “show.” Meiko was training with Emilia McKenzie and just stared at her. Emilia said they were training and asked Samuels to go away, which she did.
Noam Dar and Sha Samuels crossed out the names of A-Kid and Tyler Bate from the Heritage Cup trophy
**********
A great video aired on the upcoming Ilja Dragunov vs. Rampage Brown match. Dragunov said Brown said he didn’t need his respect, but by beating him to the ground, he showed Ilja the greatest respect he ever could. He said he initially won the title just for himself, but he realized he had a responsibility and that people felt something when they saw him fight. He was a symbol for dedication, for endurance, a symbol to fight like there is no tomorrow.
Brown was in a studio setting. He refused to let somebody put the microphone on him, then demanded they get rid of the light. He sat there in half darkness. He said Ilja wasn’t some kind of golden boy and the fact that he had the title didn’t sit right with him. He said he was the most respected competitor that NXT UK ever signed, but in the end that meant nothing. It didn’t pay his bills or fed him, but the NXT UK title would. He said he wasn’t messing around, would beat Ilja and make him suffer. He then pulled the mic off and said he was done.
Before he left, he looked into the camera and spoke into the small mic one more time, telling Ilja he would smash his face in, take his title and would have all the respect. This was great.
**********
Mark Andrews was backstage near the medical office when he was asked abut his status. He said he was waiting for Flash Morgan Webster, who was getting his shoulder checked out. As Flash came out, Kenny Williams approached and made fun of them, saying the medical office should be called the Subculture dressing room. Andrews got in his face and said it was easy to pick on someone on the sidelines, but he wasn’t injured. Williams backed off, then said Andrews didn’t want to get into a backstage fight with someone like him.
**********
NXT UK Heritage Cup: Noam Dar (c) (w/ Sha Samuels) defeated Sam Gradwell 2-1 in round 4 to retain the Cup (11:56)
Round 1
Dar evaded Gradwell early on. Gradwell eventually got his hands on Dar and threw him around. Dar caught Gradwell’s leg, but he pulled Dar’s head into his knee brace, then hit the fireman’s carry into the sit-out power bomb to score the first pinfall of the match at 2:42 of the round. Gradwell 1-0
Round 2
Dar looked to be out of it and Samuels propped him up in the corner. Gradwell grabbed him, but Dar had been playing possum and rolled him up with a small package. Gradwell threw Dar to the outside, but Samuels interfered, allowing Dar to make it back inside. Dar then drop kicked Gradwell through the ropes. Back in the ring, Dar hit the Nova Roller to pick up a fall at 1:35 of the round. Dar 1-1
Round 3
Dar targeted Gradwell’s knee with dropkicks and kept the bigger man under control, then hit a few hard kicks. Gradwell came back with a double underhook suplex. Dar locked in the super knee bar, then began to unfasten Gradwell’s knee brace. Gradwell made it to the end of the round and was saved by the bell.
Round 4
Gradwell removed his knee brace between rounds and Dar attacked right from he start. Samuels rammed Gradwell’s knee into the apron behind the referee’s back. Gradwell got a near-fall off an STO, then looked to pick him up but couldn’t. Dar went to the top as Samuels put Gradwell’s foot on the rope for Dar to jump onto. This time, Gradwell played possum and got Dar up for the fireman’s carry. Dar held onto Samuels’ scarf, then rolled up Gradwell, who kicked out. Dar teased the Nova Roller, but instead locked on the super knee bar when Gradwell covered up. Gradwell tapped at 2:54 of the round, seconds before the bell. Dar wins 2-1
Final thoughts —
A very good show; the opener was fast-paced and full of action. Isla Dawn continues to build her character as some kind of evil witch, while Jinny looks increasingly brutal and ruthless. It’s also interesting that they dropped her pairing with Joseph Conners without much of an explanation.
The main event was good and a fun match with Gradwell looking the best he’s looked since his match with Ilja Dragunov earlier in the year. Dar and Samuels also are an entertaining heel duo.
The interview packages with Ilja Dragunov and Rampage Brown are also well worth going out of your way to look up.
Next week —
