NXT UK Results: Epic three-way brawl; WALTER finds a new challenger
NXT UK had some great match-ups this week as we saw Teoman, Stevie Turner, Oliver Carter, and more get some great time to shine. However, the brand had something special for fans this week.
NXT UK brought a world class main event tonight. Three of the toughest competitors, not just in NXT UK, but in WWE as a whole, would face off in a triple threat. Rampage Brown, Joe Coffey, and Ilja Dragunov; who was the toughest man in NXT UK?
Speaking of Coffey, his brother Mark was in the middle of a playful contest with his former NXT UK Tag Champion partner Wolfgang. They wanted to see who would have a better run in the singles division. His opponent tonight? Sha Samuels.
