WWE NXT UK August 4, 2022 - Dragunov to address NXT UK Universe after grueling battle with Wolfgang

[Chris]

NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov to address the masses following his arduous title retention against Wolfgang​

A can’t-miss edition of NXT UK will see Ilja Dragunov addressing the NXT UK Universe one week after his grueling title retention against the menacing Wolfgang, Oliver Carter continuing his war with Die Familie when he locks horns with Rohan Raja, and Bodhi Hayward tangling with Sha Samuels.

After fighting through unimaginable back pain during his showdown with Wolfgang, the NXT UK Champion improved to 6-0 in title defenses since dethroning Gunther at NXT TakeOver 36 on Aug. 22, 2021.

Now closing in on a calendar year as titleholder, what will Dragunov say to the adoring NXT UK Universe? Will a new challenger emerge?

Plus, Carter continues his longstanding battle with Die Familie when he throws down with Raja. Teoman and company failed in their efforts to recruit Carter, who is now alone due to an unfortunate injury to Ashton Smith, and they’ve now seemingly locked in on the former NXT UK Tag Team Champion as their main target.

Can the outnumbered Carter figure out a way to outhit and outwit Raja?

Finally, the enthusiastic Bodhi Hayward will represent Chase University when he competes in his first NXT UK match against Sha Samuels, who essentially freaked out when Hayward encouraged him to keep his head up during a chance encounter in London.

Don’t miss an amazing episode of NXT UK, streaming Thursday at 3 ET/8 BST on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!​

That should be some womens match

 

[Kairi HoHo]

It's been 3 Years if memory serves me right since those two faced each other in Sendai Girls. I expect nothing but great action bell to bell with these ladies. Maybe as well WWE might see what I got to see before her days in Sarray which would be a major plus to the Match being great.

 

[Chris]

Oh well the preview doesn't have the womens' match so I think it either got moved to next week or it was never this week to begin with and that was a botch lmao the two undercard matches are the same tho, only the Dragunov segment is new so it was probably rearranged

 

[Chris]

Oh well they just advertised the women's title match when the episode started still

 

[Chris]

This Sha Samuels broke gimmick even more sad than Corbins lmao

 

[Chris]

Okay women's title def happening and main eventing lmao

 

[Chris]

Oh maybe not Blair Davenport out here instead of Sarray or Meiko

 

[Chris]

So Isla vs Blair in the main event instead I guess

 

[Chris]

Well that was kinda shitty

 

[Professor Booty]

Isla Dawn improved at all? I always liked her

 

[Chris]

Isla Dawn improved at all? I always liked her

Character is weirder but it's given her more of an edge as well. And she's def passable in the ring and has had real good matches with good opponents like Meiko. Had some shit angles tho

 

[Professor Booty]

I love the new look cuz I love crazy chicks
