NXT UK 27\/03\/2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re still in Coventry and the crowd is\nalready wild<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advertised for tonight \u2013 Pete Dunne and\nWalter Contract signing for their upcoming Championship Match at NXT Takeover:\nNew York<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jordan\nDevlin v Dan Moloney<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Devlin looks intense, dare I say, pissed\noff. I wonder what\u2019s wrong with him this week? I haven\u2019t seen Moloney before,\nso let\u2019s see what he can do. He takes chops like a boss and has clear size\nadvantage over Devlin, which he uses to his advantage. His momentum is short-lived\nas Devlin unleashes his signature Standing Moonsault. Moloney\u2019s move-set is\nbasic but what he delivers, he delivers well and with conviction. Devlin\u2019s\nSpringboard Cutter lands well and a High Angle Brain Buster sees Devlin\u2019s\nmomentum continue. He certainly knows how to work a crowd and is really growing\ninto his heel character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upcoming later tonight Mark Andrews v Noam\nDar <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kassius Ohno takes the mic. I feel it prudent to note that I have done a little more research into Ohno and I feel perhaps my thoughts around him were incorrect. Ohno has been a huge player on the Indie wrestling scene for many many years. I have previously said he made some poor career choices, but I have in fact come to realize that his career choices have set in motion a lot of what we see today. It takes a strong person to say, I\u2019m not right for this (ie being part of The Shield) and to recognize that his strength is that he will make anyone look good. Perhaps it\u2019s time to recognize that his legacy is in the things he consciously didn\u2019t do, not the things he failed to do. And why is he in NXT UK? Because he\u2019s sharing his knowledge and expertise with the roster who will benefit the most from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What a promo!

How on earth is Brookside going to give Ripley anything close to legitimate competition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The crowd cheer for Brookside in the early\ngoing, to which Ripley replies \u2018Shut your mouth you peasant\u2019, shades of Chris\nJericho here. It\u2019s a power game and this is a game Brookside won\u2019t win. She\ntries on a couple of occasions to use her speed and agility but, as predicted,\nRipley\u2019s force and strength win. Ripley plays this character so well and I am at\nthe point where I think she\u2019s outgrown this brand. Brookside tries really hard\nand there\u2019s no questioning her heart and work ethic. This is definitely her\nstrongest showing to date. Her Body Press off the top rope and her Code Breaker\nstyle drop, which Ripley sells like a boss, has us almost think she might win\nthis. The Riptide ultimately secures Ripley the victory, but this was a surprisingly\nstrong showing from Brookside. I like being surprised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ripley takes the mic to reconfirm her\nstatus as the most dominant woman in NXT UK, only to be interrupted by Piper\nNiven. Ripley wants no part of this and Niven is greeted warmly by the Coventry\ncrowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Backstage segment between Isla Dawn and Kay\nLee Ray, setting up a future feud for these fellow Scots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spotlight on Walter video package<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trent Seven interview, calling out Joe\nCoffey<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aichner and Barthel backstage segment. Their\npromos are as impressive as their in-ring ability. I absolutely love these\nguys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark\nAndrews v Noam Dar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These chaps are very evenly matched in terms of size and stature and this will be a test of who can emerge victorious through quickness, craftiness and technicality. I love the pace, the aerial style, the Backflips and the ingenuity as they ground their offence into the mat. Dar is slightly more vicious in his style, hanging Andrews up on the top rope. The crowd are taunting him at various points throughout this match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The match is back and forth convincingly, and\nthe crowd quickly cheer for both competitors. Andrews takes a moment too long\nto showboat, allowing Dar time to roll out the ring. I love Andrew\u2019s Suicide\nDive though the middle ropes because he uses the rope to push himself through.\nHis offence continues with a Corkscrew Moonsault and a frustrating near fall. The\npace and fluidity is second to none and the crowd are lapping it up. Dar\u2019s intuition\nallows him to counter Andrews at various points and the match almost ends with\na double count out after Dar throws him into the steel steps. Capitalizing on\nthe injury to Andrews legs, Dar locks in an Ankle Lock and the suspense builds\nas Andrews claws his way to the bottom rope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andrews attempts to climb the turnbuckle\nbut as he can\u2019t climb, executes a beautiful Springboard Moonsault off the rope,\nresulting in another near fall and then another. The anticipation builds with a\nStundog Millionaire, which again, Dar kicks out of. Andrews goes for an Inverted\nHurricanrana but Andrews lands awkwardly into Dar\u2019s knee\/leg and falls to the\nmat. Ref throws up the X and the match is stopped. Both are stretchered out of\nthe arena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kay Lee Ray v Isla Dawn and Trent Seven v\nJoe Coffey advertised for next week<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT UK Championship contract signing takes\nplace to close the show.
