NXT UK 27\/02\/2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final of the three shows filmed at Royal\nRumble Axxess in Phoenix Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main event advertised is Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch versus the NXT UK Tag Team Champions, The Grizzled Young Veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First match up is an absolute masterclass between Tyler Bate and Gentleman Jack Gallagher. A back and forth of technical one-ups-man-ship. They are so evenly matched in terms of stature and ability, they are a joy to watch as they know just what to do to get the best out of each other. Gallagher is relentless, keeping a low center of gravity, which enhances his ground and pound style. Their process is methodical, a little flashy in places, cheeky and captivating. Initially it looked like Gallagher would upset Bate, but in the end, his slight strength advantage secured him the win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not always a fan of the low to the\nground, wearing your opponent down with arm locks and chin locks but with a\nlittle sass, it really is a pleasure to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jordan Devlin and Travis Banks go at it again, this time at the UK Performance Center, which ultimately leads to the announcement they will close out next weeks show with a \u2018Falls Count Anywhere\u2019 match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nina Samuels is advertised for next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walter\nv Kassius Ohno<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m not going to lie, I cannot stand Ohno. In\nmy opinion, he\u2019s made some pretty questionable career choices and it\u2019s\nblatantly obvious that NXT is his last-ditch attempt to make something of\nhimself. He looks beaten and out of shape. He\u2019s sloppy and sluggish and has this\npetulant air of someone with the worlds biggest chip on his shoulder. Even the commentator\u2019s\nmake reference to his frustration getting the better of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, this match was better than I was\nexpecting it to be. Walter barely breaks a sweat as Ohno wears himself out.\nWalter executes a nice looking German Suplex and running Missile Dropkick,\ncoupled with his brute force and severe upper body strength, gave him his best\nshowing on NXT UK to date. After Ohno misses a Moonsault, in his only note\nworthy move of the match, Walter capitalizes with a Drop Kick and a Power Bomb for\nthe win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oney\nLorcan & Danny Burch V Grizzled Young Veterans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This match has a good pace, not too quick\nbut the nice tempo that I personally, really enjoy. Lorcan and Burch appear to\nhave good chemistry. James Drake of the Grizzled Young Veterans has this interesting,\nalmost old school look about him and has this very believable mean streak in\nhim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some entertaining spots in this match include\nDrake flying over the top rope, Burch\u2019s German Suplex and the tag champs being\ntaken to the absolute limit. A test of endurance for both teams comes to a head\nwhen Lorcan delivers a double Blockbuster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The action is swift, with some high-flying\nand some ground and pound mixed in to create a nice balance and engaging\nstorytelling. The Grizzled Young Veterans retain after unleashing their\nfinisher \u2018Ticket to Mayhem\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT UK 06\/03\/2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main event tonight has been building\nfor a long time and will see The Irish Ace, Jordan Devlin take on the Kiwi\nBuzzsaw, Travis Banks in a \u2018Falls Count Anywhere\u2019 match. This rivalry has been\nmost enjoyable, which surprised me because I\u2019m not a huge Devlin fan and knew\nlittle of Banks prior to this. They have dazzling chemistry and I\u2019m excited and\na little sad to see this story end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back in the UK but in front of a different\ncrowd to the normal venue, saw a more vocal and energized audience, which gave\na breath of life into the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ligero\nv Joseph Conners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A match with a predictable but entertaining\npace and the usual mix of high flying and ground and pound. Ligero is a fan favorite\nand appears invigorated by the more excitable crowd. Conners isn\u2019t quite as\narticulate in his execution as Ligero until he lands a picture perfect\nTilt-O-Whirl Backbreaker. Ligero\u2019s springboard Stunner and Conner\u2019s DDT were\nmatch highlights, along with a very interesting but not particularly well landed\nTilt-O-Whirl Facebuster. I had to watch this spot back a few times and I\u2019m\nstill not convinced it was right. Ligero\u2019s quickness allowed him to pick up a\ncheeky pin following a combination of pinning situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Could Jinny be next in line to challenge\nToni Storm for the NXT UK Women\u2019s Championship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gallus deliver an intense and moody promo, where the Coffey bothers challenge Walter and Pete Dunne to a match, which is later confirmed for next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam\nStoker & Lewis Howley AKA Pretty Deadly v Aichner & Barthel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Aichner and Barthel are an incredible tag\nteam and are shining stars (and rightly so) in the NXT Tag team Tournament.\nPart of me wondered if this would be a squash match but, as always, NXT UK is about\neveryone looking strong and all four guys work hard to put each other over. It\u2019s\na gift to be able to sell a move well and Howley\u2019s hair flick as he takes a\nmove, somehow makes every piece of offence look brutal. Aichner\u2019s spot steals the\nnight with an incredible vertical Suplex. A slight miscommunication as Barthel\ndelivers a flying uppercut off the top rope almost results in the wrong man claiming\nthe pin but it\u2019s soon put right. Aichner and Barthel win convincingly. Can\nanyone stop them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nina\nSamuels v Charlie Morgan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Samuels is strong, athletic and almost\ngraceful. Morgan has a different style and different vibe but has bags of\npotential. You have to look closely to notice the slight hesitation as she bounces\noff the ropes or when she forgets to pull a face when she\u2019s locked in a hold.\nThe only move of note was the Neckbreaker from Samuels which she delivered to\npick up the victory. This match needed longer for these ladies to fully exhibit\nwhat they can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordan\nDevlin v Travis Banks \u2013 Falls Count Anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This match is a serious contender for Match\nof the Month. I knew it would be good but this surpassed all my expectations.\nThe crowd are on their feet the entire match. From Banks\u2019 Splash from 15ft in\nthe air to Devlin\u2019s Spanish Fly off the apron planting them both through a table,\nthis match delivers in every way. They use the ring, the arena, the crowd. They\nbring in a chair and a table. They are up and down the ropes and the barricades.\nThe \u2018oh my god\u2019 moment where Devlin kicks out of the Kiwi Crusher. The ref getting\nknocked down, technically losing Banks the match. Bank\u2019s Slice of Heaven almost\ntaking Devlin\u2019s head off and a picture perfect Superplex. This match has\neverything. There really aren\u2019t words to tell you how good it is. Please, just\ngo and watch it and thank me later. These guys demonstrate the absolute best of\nthe light-heavyweights in NXT UK.
