Andy Shepherd and Niguel McGuinness welcome fans to WWE NXT UK! We kick things off with some tag team action!
Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven & Heritage Cup Champion Tyler Bate) vs. Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter
Tyler Bate and Oliver Carter get things started. Bate grabs hold of Carter's arm for a wrist lock. Carter breaks it up and administers the same to Bate. Bate flips Carter to the other side of the ring. Trent Seven is tagged in by Bate. Bate helps Seven connect a jumping senton for two. Carter grounds Seven as he tags Ashton Smith in. Smith continues wearing Seven down and turns to Carter for another tag-in. Seven makes a quick comeback and props Carter up against the ropes. Smith grabs a tag from Carter. Smith hits a damaging clothesline, but Seven picks up the lead with a flying crossbody for another near-fall.
The Heritage Cup Champion is back in. Smith runs back into the ring and drives a chokeslam down on Bate. Bate hoists Carter on his shoulders and takes him on a ride with an airplane spin! Seven briefly steps in, then tags in Bate, who flies in with a top rope senton for two. Seven decks Smith and sends him off the apron. Turning his attention back on Carter, Seven catches him with an Emerald Flowsion for two! Bate takes over for Carter. Carter rocks Bate with some gratifying offense. Bate evades a Doomsday Device and stacks Smith up for a pinfall. Smith wiggles free at two. Just when things seem calm, Symbiosis arrives near the ring. To protect Moustache Mountain, Dave Mastiff and Jack Starz run out to save the day.

Dani Luna vs. Xia Brookside
Dani Luna takes over the driver's seat with a facebuster on Xia Brookside. Once Xia gets back up, they both tangle for control. Dani grabs Xia and looks for a fallaway slam. Xia escapes and looks for a tilt-a-whirl head scissors, but Dani follows it up by smashing Xia's face back on the mat. Dani connects a vertical suplex for two. Dani's power continues to outweigh Xia's offense. Dani traps Xia with a facelcok. Xia throws several gut punches to break it up. Once she escapes, she hits a hurricanrana that creates some space between the two. Xia tried to finish Dani off with a neckbreaker, but it wasn't enough to seal this victory yet. Dani catches Xia with a fallaway slam, then drives her to the mat with a powerbomb. It's nighty-night for Xia and a well-earned victory for Dani!

In the closing moments of this match, Dempsey holds Morrell in a double wristlock, then turns it into another Fujiwara armbar. Still, not enough, Dempsey folds Morrell up. Morrell's foot is touching the back of his spine. After enduring this very uncomfortable position, Morrell taps, giving Dempsey his first victory.
Winner: Charlie Dempsey
- Ilja Dragunov and A-Kid come face-to-face before their epic NXT UK Championship title match. Dragunov asks A-Kid not to be naive and believes he'll be the one to end The Mad Russian's reign. A-Kid's reply is simple. There are three ways he'll go about this bout: tapping him, pinning him or snapping him the way WALTER did for months. Dragunov tells A-Kid he is just a kid, and now is not his time. We'll just see about that when both these men face-off in two weeks!
