Tiffany’s Takes: WWE NXT UK (5/22/19)
The most anticipated rematch in the history of WWE NXT UK is tonight while the battle to decide the #1 Contendership comes into the homestretch!
Tiffany Takes the time to provide this review of WWE NXT UK! Let’s see how the show went this week.
Travis Banks vs Joseph Conners: I really loved this match. Travis Banks’ NXT UK run seems to have been plagued with bad luck and aborted feuds, so to see him get a chance to challenge for the NXT UK Championship is wonderful. It’s also interesting that he’s had issues with two of his three opponents. I’m still hopeful that Devlin will win, but I wouldn’t protest Mastiff or Banks pulling out a win here.
What is Joseph Conners’ gimmick? The resident creep? He’s a great competitor, but there’s really nothing about him that stands out. The hair and jacket are pretty much like James Drake’s gear for GYV and I’m constantly getting them confused.
Nina Samuels: I honestly don’t think Samuels appreciates the hornets’ nest she kicked with her comments a few weeks ago. Toni Storm strikes me as a very laid back person, but I’ve seen enough of her matches to gather that she isn’t someone I would want to piss off and I have a feeling Samuels will learn that the hard way next week.
Noam Dar vs Mark Andrews: What’s the easiest way to turn someone heel but still have them cheered? Have them turn heel in their home country. Seriously though, I LOVED that match between Dar and Andrews. Their first ‘friendly’ bout ended in a No Contest due to both of them being injured, so to see them try to settle the score was fabulous.
Dar’s turn wasn’t a surprise to me, he’s better as a sneaky heel, but with them still being in Glasgow, he wasn’t going to get booed. I’m guessing that he and Andrews will be feuding for awhile.
Grizzled Young Veterans: I’m not sure who GYV think they are, but the last time I checked, champs didn’t get to decide who were ‘worthy’ opponents to challenge them, so GYV’s comments about Mustache Mountain’s desire for a rematch is really stupid and what are they going to do when/if they have to defend against the Big Strong Boys? I don’ think they’ll get away with the nonsense they pulled with Jordan and Williams.
Rhea Ripley: Even though I’m not a fan of hers, it was nice to see Rhea Ripley back in NXT UK and it was really nice to hear that her rivalry vs Piper Niven hasn’t been forgotten, though Ripley’s assertion that Niven is afraid of her is laughable. Can’t wait for them to FINALLY collide.
Kassius Ohno: I’m a little puzzled by this. I was under the impression that Ohno was going to get a chance to enter the Fatal Four Way and that didn’t happen, and he’s getting ghosted by Johnny Saint. I do find the match of him vs Jack Gallagher very intriguing, so we’ll have to see what happens.

WWE NXT UK: Pete Dunne locks up with WALTER for the WWE United Kingdom Championship
WALTER vs Pete Dunne: Well, it’s finally time to settle this thing. This was a good match, but since I’m not really a fan of either guy, I really couldn’t get into it. I will say that it was just as good as the first go round, which is hard for a sequel to pull off. The fact that WALTER finally turned heel and has the European Alliance as back up is a really smart move since Dunne is allied with Mustache Mountain as is EA costing Dunne the match and protecting him so he can stay in NXT.
Overall Thoughts: So, how was WWE NXT UK? It was a good show, but it definitely feels like they were at the end of show tapings and were setting things up for the next round of taping. I BELIEVE that the Fatal Four Way is either next week or the week after and it’s looking like a gangbuster!
Storm vs Samuels for the Women’s Title next week will be great, but I’m still holding out for Ripley vs Niven. I am confused by what is going on with Kassius Ohno since he seems to be getting ghosted and jerked around by Saint and Scala. Hopefully, the match against Gallagher will clarify things.
That’s it for Tiffany’s WWE NXT UK Takes! Stay tuned for WWE NXT US!

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
