Show Recap:

Xia Brookside & Dani Luna beat Amale & Nina Samuels (7:12)

The story here was Samuels abandoning Amale when she wasn’t the center of attention.

Samuels music interrupted Amale’s entrance and she didn’t look super happy about that. Luna and Samuels started out and Samuels worked the arm, but Luna escaped with a firemen’s carry. Brookside tagged, but quickly found herself locked in a leg vice. She escaped and double-teamed Samuels with Luna after a tag. Amale tagged in and hit Luna with a soccer kick to the chest before tagging back out.

Luna escaped a double clothesline attempt, hit one of her own and then covered Samuels, who was hit with a crossbody by Brookside seconds later. Brookside followed up with some spinning headscissors, but found herself on the receiving end of a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Amale worked over Brookside in the corner as the ref was distracted. Brookside was in trouble after a reverse suplex. Amale blind tagged in which had Samuels confused as she went for a roll-up but was no longer the legal woman.

Brookside finally tagged out and Luna ran wild on Amale for a bit and hit a deadlift back suplex for a near-fall. As Amale crawled to her corner, Samuels stuck her hand out, but then jumped off the apron and walked to the back. Amale was puzzled but fought on. Luna hit her with a German suplex before Amale was then hit with a Brooksie Bomb into a power bomb by Luna, followed by a bridging pin by Brookside for the win.

– Ilja Dragunov blew off an interviewer and confronted Sid Scala, who was talking to Pete Dunne in the hallway. He demanded to face Alexander Wolfe and WALTER next week. Scala asked who his partner would be and Dragunov told him Dunne. Dunne shrugged and accepted.

– Piper Niven was asked about KLR’s championship address. She said quite a few people would be interested in what she would have to say.

Saxon Huxley pinned Jack Starz after an elevated drop (5:18)

This stemmed from Starz telling Huxley he would get a win “next time” after his match with WALTER two weeks ago.

Starz tried going the technical route with wrist locks, but was manhandled by the sheer power of Huxley. Starz hit a number of dropkicks, but was swatted away and thrown across the ring off a gorilla press. Huxley continued to use Starz as a lawn dart. Huxley continued to maul Starz and locked in a torture rack that Starz eventually escaped. Starz hit a dropkick to the thigh and a crossbody for a cover, but Huxley easily kicked out. Huxley then managed to pick Starz up on his shoulders and hit an elevated drop for the pin.

– A Gallus vignette aired focusing on how they won the NXT UK tag titles and their past history together in promotions across the UK.

– Pretty Deadly entered the arena and were asked about what Eddie Dennis told them two weeks ago. They said they talked about Nanaya “as in Nanaya business.”

– Brookside and Luna were asked about KLR’s address tonight. Luna said if KLR doesn’t watch what she says, she’ll find out how many enemies she really has.

Heritage Cup First Found: A-Kid beat Flash Morgan Webster 2-1 (13:12)

Round 3

A-Kid started attacking Webster’s arm, Webster locked in a straight jacket submission, which A-Kid reversed. A-Kid hit a reverse bodypress from the turnbuckle and a fisherman’s suplex for a near fall. Webster came back with the Rude Boy Block, but A-Kid rolled him up for a near fall. Webster hit a poison rana at the end of the round, so he couldn’t go for a pin.

Round 4

– NXT UK Champion WALTER vs. Ilja Dragunov takes place on NXT UK on October 29th. A great video looked at their feud and did a very good job showcasing the challenger’s intensity.

– A video from “during the break” showed Webster laid out backstage. Primate alerted Mark Andrews to this fact who then ran through the backstage area. I have no idea if it means anything, but The Hunt was on hand for both Webster and Andrews being laid out.

NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray State of the Union address

KLR said that people thought she couldn’t do it and would lose her NXT UK Women’s Championship, but she defeated Piper Niven two weeks ago. She said every week, her championship reign got longer and longer. As she was talking, Xia Brookside, Dani Luna, Isla Dawn, Nina Samuels and Amale came out.

Samuels and Amale started arguing about their match from earlier tonight. KLR said that those two couldn’t even get along long enough to challenge her. Niven then walked out and shoved Samuels and Amale aside. As she got on the apron, they pulled Niven down and started attacking her. KLR was amused by all of this.

Aoife Valkyrie suddenly was in the ring and KLR went to attack her, but Valkyrie ducked and hit a springboard cross body on the champion. Brookside, Luna, and Dawn also entered the ring and surrounded KLR and attacked and finally, Niven entered the ring.

KLR managed to hit a superkick on Brookside and escaped. Everybody started brawling in the ring as Brookside attacked KLR on the outside and hit a flying headscissors on the champion, but quickly was wiped out with a clothesline as KLR scrambled to the back.

As she was about to go backstage, Jinny walked out and KLR backed into her. As KLR saw who it was, she smiled and went to point out all the other women brawling in the ring, but Jinny didn’t play along and punched her. They brawled around ringside and Jinny threw her into the announce table, clotheslining her over the barricade into the ringside area.

Jinny hit a crossbody on KLR on the outside and Niven hit a rolling senton off the apron on Amale and Samuels. Everybody kept brawling and Valkyrie eventually hit a top rope crossbody on all the other women on the outside. KLR had crawled away and smiled at the pile of humanity in front of her as she got to her feet and made her way to the back.

This was a fun segment to end the show.

Next week:

The Heritage Cup continues as Dave Mastiff faces Joseph Conners and Ilja Dragunov & Pete Dunne team up to take on NXT UK Champion WALTER & Alexander Wolfe, leading up to the big WALTER/Dragunov title match in three weeks.
