Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the big Battle Royal for a UK Title shot, so let’s…are hush puppies just quiet dogs or lazy dogs?
Match #1: Kay Lee Ray & Jinny def. Piper Niven & Dani Luna The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In the opening matchup, Nxt UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray joined forces with Jinny against Piper Niven and up-and-comer Dani Luna. In the final moments, The Fashionista neutralized Niven by hurling her into the steel ring steps. She then delivered a hard right to Luna from the apron and paved the way for The Scary Queen of Scots to hit the Gory Bomb on Luna for the victory.
My Opinion: 2.8 out of 5 – Overall, this wasn’t half bad. There’s some fine wrestlers in here, but the match…I don’t know.

Welcome to this review of WWE Worlds Collide 2020, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have several matches featuring Nxt battling Nxt UK. This should be a good show. Let’s get right to it.
Match #1: Kay Lee Ray def. Mia Yim The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In the battle between Nxt and Nxt UK, the British contingent of the black-and-gold brand landed the first blow, with Nxt UK Champion Kay Lee Ray picking up a victory over Mia Yim on the Worlds Collide Pre-Show. Ray’s title wasn’t on the line in the cross-brand brawl, but she was forced to fight as though it was, eating boots and chops from Nxt’s Hbic straight out of the gate. Superkicks, punches and Destroyers followed, but for all the punishment Ray’s 5’8” frame absorbed, however, she didn’t wilt. Instead, she excelled, going high-risk...

Match #1: Jordan Devlin def. Ligero – Nxt Cruiserweight Title Fatal 4-Way Qualifier The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Jordan Devlin once again showed the WWE Universe why you must never bet against The Irish Ace when he used Devlin Side to conquer a very game Ligero and earn a place in World’s Collide’s Nxt Cruiserweight Championship Fatal 4-Way Match. He will face titleholder Angel Garza, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, and whomever won the matchup between Travis Banks and The Brain Kendrick in Nxt UK’s main event.

Although months have gone by since the turbulent events of Nxt UK’s high-stakes first-ever Women’s Battle Royal, Xia Brookside still came into her match against Kay Lee Ray eager for retribution after the treacherous Scottish competitor cost her an opportunity at the Nxt UK Women’s Title at TakeOver: Cardiff.

Okay, like Miley Cyrus in a “Dingo Ate My Marriage” contest, let’s get ready to rock!

May 29, 2014. The date of the very first Nxt TakeOver show. Man… that was over five years ago, and in the time since that show aired live in the WWE Network, we’ve seen so much change. Not just in Nxt, but in WWE in general and in the world of pro-wrestling. Going back to that first show highlights not only how much has changed, but how far Nxt as a brand has come. It’s about to go live every week on the USA Network as a two-hour show, head-to-head with the first potential wrestling competition to WWE in years, Aew. The landscape of wrestling is different now. Going back, for the sake of this article to watch every Nxt TakeOver show was no small undertaking. There’s been 26 (28 including the UK TakeOver shows) of them to date. Still… I’m a huge fan of Nxt and it’s hardly...

Match #1: Noam Dar def. Travis Banks The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Although Travis Banks missed the inaugural Nxt UK TakeOver in Blackpool after being attacked by Jordan Devlin back in January, The Kiwi Buzzsaw journeyed to Cardiff ready to take full advantage of the big TakeOver stage against the outspoken Noam Dar. In the early moments of an explosive contest, Banks seemed to injure his shoulder as well as his knee, and Dar attacked the weak spots like a shark that smelled blood. But the resilient Banks battled through the pain, opening the door for both skilled competitors to leave it all on the mat with an inedible display of high-octane offense that produced near-fall after near-fall.

Match #1: Imperium (Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel) def. The Hunt The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Despite the unorthodox style of The Hunt’s Wild Boar and Primate, Imperium’s Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner defended their sacred mat against their animalistic opponents in Nxt UK’s opening contest, showcasing exquisite tag team precision that culminated with stereo dropkicks and the uppercut into the powerbomb on Wild Boar for the three-count.

In the first of two matches set up for the Welshmen to prove their worth to General Manager John Saint and secure an opportunity to represent their home country at Nxt UK TakeOver: Cardiff, the innovative offense of Flash Morgan Webster was pitted against the hard-hitting Mark Coffey of Gallus.

In the opening match of this week’s Nxt UK, Imperium’s Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner honored their “sacred” mat in a contest against Saxon Huxley & Tyson T-Bone. Huxley made the critical mistake of failing to see Barthel tag Aichner into the match and continued to battle Barthel. After the legal Aichner used a knee to take out T-Bone on the steel steps outside the ring, he nailed Huxley from behind, and Imperium finished off their prey with an uppercut off the second rope into the powerbomb for the three-count.

Match #1: Jinny & Jazzy Gabert def. Xia Brookside & Isla Dawn The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In Nxt UK’s opening tag team matchup, Xia Brookside & Isla Dawn came together to face common enemies: Jinny and her intimidating new cohort, Jazzy Gabert. After Jazzy completely dismantled Xia & Isla, executing The White Witch with a devastating Dominator, The Fashionista demanded to be tagged in so that she could pick up the three-count for her tandem.
My Opinion: 2 out of 5 – This thing went by too quickly to become what it should have/could have been, but it did get them all on TV for a few minutes, so there you go.

In a brutal opening match between two of Nxt UK’s most rugged tandems, Wild Boar & Primate hit a monstrous pop-up German Suplex and stereo driving headbutts off the top rope to give The Hunt the win over Tyson T-Bone & Saxon Huxley. But as the dust cleared, Mark Coffey & Wolfgang unleashed a ruthless surprise assault on Wild Boar & Primate, perhaps...

Match #1: Travis Banks def. Mansoor The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Despite a near upset by Nxt’s Mansoor, The Kiwi Buzzsaw reigned supreme over his cocky opponent when he leveled him with A Slice of Heaven off the ropes and planted him in the center of the ring with the Kiwi Crusher.
My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – This came off well for a match that felt stunted from the sound of the first bell. Nobody did badly here, but this felt more like a surprise hit from WWE Velocity than it did as a match from a prominent brand.

After falling short against Ligero a couple weeks ago, the very jaded Joseph Conners engaged the highflying competitor in a rematch in order to establish that he is, and always has been, better than the Leeds Luchador. Connors got the advantage early in the explosive contest, punishing his masked opponent both inside and outside the ring. But, Ligero roared back with a high-octane offense that paved the way for a fierce back-and-forth battle for supremacy. But, in the end, Conner’s fury was not enough to...

Though Toni Storm failed to overcome Rhea Ripley in the match to crown the first-ever Nxt UK Women’s Champion several weeks ago, she returned to Nxt UK triumphant as the winner of the 2018 Mae Young Classic, ready to take on Charlie Morgan in her opponent’s first singles match on the show.

From the jump, Huxley & Gradwell showed impressive cohesion as a tag team when Huxley pushed his opponent to the ground and Gradwell used a distraction to attack Seven outside the ring. They then proceeded to cut the ring in half with absolute brutality to prevent Bate from getting in on the action. That all changed when Seven neutralized his opponents before dodging out of the way...
