Rampage Brown vs Flash Morgan Webster
The match opening bell sounds, and Brown ties up with Morgan Webster right away. Rampage drives Flash into the corner, and the referee forces a break, so Brown tosses Morgan Webster into the opposite corner. Brown continues to control the early portion of the match, and lands multiple blows to the body of Morgan Webster, before going back into the corner again. Flash stuns Brown with a boot to the face, and briefly goes on the offensive, but Brown is to strong for him. Rampage hits a wicked exploder suplex, and follows up by launching Flash all the way across the ring. Brown grabs the limp body of Webster, and nails another brutal suplex variation, as the announce team calls for someone to stop the match. Webster scratch’s and claw’s back to his feet, so Brown helps him up by going for the Doctor Bomb. Webster somehow reverses, and begins to mount some offense, before capping things off with a top rope splash. Morgan Webster sends Rampage to the outside, and attempts to follow up with a torpe suicida, but Brown catches him! Rampage tries to run Webster through the ring post, but posts himself, allowing Webster to take control of the match. Both men go back into the ring, where Flash is in full control, and lands an impressive body slam on Brown for a close nearfall. Rampage fires up for a comeback, and both men trade blows, until Webster gains the upper-hand. Brown finally stops the attack from Morgan Webster, and creates a moment of separation, before turning Webster inside out with a huge clothesline. Brown immediately sets up for the Doctor Bomb, and pins Flash for the 1-2-3.

NXT UK Women’s Championship
Meiko Satomura (c) w/ Emilia McKenzie vs Jinny w/ Joseph Connors
The main event bell rings throughout the studio, and both women begin slow. After feeling each other out for a bit, Meiko tenderizes the leg of Jinny with a few kicks, and throws a few more strikes for good measure. Satomura grinds Jinny into the mat with a hold, and forces her to stand, allowing Jinny to take control for a brief moment. Meiko attacks the shoulder of Jinny, and stops her momentum, then grabs another hold. Jinny eventually breaks free, and grabs a hold of her own! Jinny gets a handful of hair, and slams Meiko into the mat, before taking full control of the match. Meiko and Jinny fight into the corner, where Satomura misses an attempt. Jinny capitalizes, and locks Meiko up in a head scissors, until Satomura chops her way out. Jinny looks to remain in control, and slaps Meiko, but Satomura fires up on her. Meiko lands strike after strike, until Jinny kicks the knee of Satomura, sending her down to the mat in pain. Jinny takes advantage of the injury she caused, and tries a cover, but “The Final Boss” will not go away. The slow paced match continues, and Jinny keeps her foot on the gas with a single leg Boston Crab to the injured leg of Satomura. Meiko manages to escape the hold, and chops Jinny down to size, before applying a crossface submission maneuver. Jinny uses cheap tactics to break free, and goes back on the offensive with consecutive strikes, until catching Meiko right on the ear. The strike stuns Meiko, who falls flat to the mat! “The Fashionista” applies another single leg, but Satomura rolls through. A vicious exchange of strikes breaks out, and Meiko hits a roundhouse kick to slow down the pace. Meiko throws a few YES! kicks, and follows up with a rearview to the back of the neck of Jinny! Meiko makes the cover, and the challenger kicks out, but Meiko is still heating up. Satomura heads to the top rope, but Jinny cuts her off! Jinny spikes Meiko into the mat with a brutal draping DDT, and makes the cover for the 1-2-NO! Meiko kicks out on instinct, as Connors shouts from the outside. Jinny applies another submission hold, and the Champion is fading! Meiko makes one last big effort, and somehow makes it to the ropes, but Jinny hold on! The referee forces a break, and Jinny sets up for the ripcord knee. Meiko evades, and sends Jinny into the canvas, then heads up top again. “The Final Boss” lands a frog splash, and makes the cover for a very close near fall. Satomura quickly applies a headlock, and nearly forces a tapout, but Jinny grabs the bottom rope! Connors tries to get involved on the apron, and catches a stiff shot from McKenzie. Back in the ring, the distraction allows Jinny to hit Meiko with the Ripcord Knee Strike, and Jinny makes the cover for the 1-2-NO! Meiko manages to get her shoulder up, as the announce team loses their minds. Meiko finds another gear, and drives Jinny into the mat with a big slam, before running to the corner.
