Imperium defeated British Strong Style @ 14:50 via pin [***¾] Imperium bolsters their ranks by one, and takes out British Strong Style in their first official clash. This was a very good and tremendously fun tag match, that worked very well for their first meeting and also continues things.

This week’s episode of NXT UK was pretty good show, with a really good main event, and also giving Gabert & Dragunov momentum while adding to Imperium by bringing Wolfe into NXT UK, which I love.
