Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan vs. The Hunt: Burch and Boar lockup and work to the ropes. They work into counters as Burch grounds the action, following with strikes until Boar cuts him off and tags in Primate who follows with the double sledge for 2. Burch trips him up and Lorcan tags in. He follows with chops and strikes, quick tags and then double teams as Burch grounds Primate. Primate fights the off, tags in Boar and he’s quickly cut off.

Boar runs them together and Primate tags in, Boar misses a splash to the floor, and back in, the elevated DDT finishes Primate. Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan defeated The Hunt @ 7:30 via pin [**½] I love Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan, and love seeing them get some TV time in NXT UK. The match was solid but rather disjointed and never felt locked in.
– Toni Storm comments on her loss at Worlds Collide. She says KLR is still in her head and it needs to end.
– Eddie Dennis arrives and shows footage of his attempted murder of Trent Seven back at Takeover. He took a pillar of NXT UK and founding father, and was forced to throw him over the ropes and to the floor. Seven arrives and says Dennis is boring, a cheat and a liar. While Dennis won, history forgets he exposed the buckle and stole the win. Seven proposes another match, but this time, it will be a match where all the buckles are removes and expose the steel. He doesn’t care where they fight, he just wants to do it again with street fight rules. Dennis tries to attack, but Seven sends him packing.
– Earlier this week, A-Kid approaches Tyler Bate and wants to impress like him. Bate proposes a match between them for next week.
– We get a promo for Aoife Valkyrie, she debuts in two weeks.

Saito suplex by Dawn and the knee strike connects, 619 follows, Dawn up top and meteora follows. The half and half follows for the win. Isla Dawn defeated Nina Samuels @ 5:10 via pin [**¾] This was pretty good, but lacked intensity.
– Ilja comments on his loss to Balor at Worlds Collide, he’s looking for big battles and Balor gave it to him. He will learn from the loss, and now has to focus on Joe Coffey.
– Burch and Lorcan are here to beat people up, throw them up, and now want Gallus.

Holland battles back, hits knee strikes and uppercuts and hits an overhead toss for 2. Holland delivers crossface strikes, knee strikes and a clothesline. He delivers uppercuts, T-Bone fires back and hits a suplex for 2. They trade, Holland hits head butts and an Alabama slam, and northern grit finishes it. Ridge Holland defeated Tyson T-Bone @ 3:00 via pin [NR] A fine hossy brawl and win for Holland.
