The final episode of NXT UK before Saturday’s TakeOver: Cardiff will feature an explosive showdown. After weeks of Jordan Devlin voicing his opinion that he was not getting the opportunities he deserves, Kenny Williams has stepped up and suggested that the two battle one-on-one to determine if The Lucky-Yin has enough fortune to bet against The Irish Ace.

Plus, after suffering his first loss to Kassius Ohno two weeks ago, Ilja Dragunov will attempt to get back on track against the tough-as-nails Tyson T-Bone, and Joseph Conners will aim to stop a “shiny new toy” in the form of the debuting Oliver Carter.

I'm assuming this Prime Target is going to focus fully on Bate/WALTER since that's the only match anyone cares about, could see part of it being about KLR/Storm with their history too

 

[Chris]

Bate's so young that he probably was on a wrestling forum when he was like 12 and got made fun of

 

[Chris]

Was Bate just playing Dre on the piano or am i trippin'

 

[Chris]

It's been really great booking the way they transitioned WALTER from feuding with Dunne to Bate while having title defenses in between against other guys to build him up more.

 

[Chris]

The music they got playing during fuckin' rules

 

[Chris]

Yeah this got me even more HYPED for the Bate/WALTER mach, good shit. Mark Andrews's band's song went great at the end too, it sounds better every time I hear it. It's the kind of generic rock that goes really good with rasslin'.

 

[Chris]

"That's bolshevik" Nigel gotta chill

 

[Chris]

I'm still not really feeling this Dragunov guy outside his lit theme song, but I def like him more than Tyson T-Bone so I'm more than fine with him getting this win

 

[Chris]

Oney's finisher only getting a two-count in UK these dudes will still anyone's finish

 

[Chris]

I just can't take this dude's lariats seriously even though it really looks like he's swinging as hard as he can and big dudes sell them really well

 

[Chris]

I fucks with that match a lot more than I expected to going in, good start to the show.

 

[Chris]

Holy fuck I'm so tired of this KLR/Storm video package, they've shown it every week for like a fuckin' month

 

[Chris]

Oh this one is actually different bc they added in like the one in-ring segment that's progressed this feud in the last two months

 

[Chris]

So Gallagher ducked Kendrick last night bc he had to challenge Ohno at NXT UK (I know this is taped, but I'm keepin' kayfabe alive brother)
