Roderick Strong def. Wolfgang
Making his debut on the brand, Roderick Strong defeated Wolfgang in the main event, after cleverly avoiding a spear. After his win, Strong began to call out Ilja Dragunov, claiming to be ready to challenge for the NXT UK Championship. Dragunov, who recently successfully defended his title against A-Kid, Jordan Devlin and Nathan Frazer was shown watching the events on screen and laughing at Roderick Strong.

On next week's show, champion Meiko Satomura will defend her title against Isla Dawn. Dawn set her sights on Satomura a few weeks ago, interrupting her celebration following her win over previous rival Blair Davenport. Before her rivalry against Davenport, Satomura also retained the title over Stevie Turner and Amale.
The rivalry between the team of Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith and Moustache Mountain appears to be continuing. There is yet to be a rematch between the two teams.
NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov seems to have found his next challenger in the form of Roderick Strong. Strong called out Dragunov at the end of this week's show, but there has not yet been a title match set between the pair.
