WWE NXT UK 2/10/2022

WWE NXT UK 2/10/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/02/wwe-nxt-uk-232022.html

Amale vs Nina Samuels

Nina hits a hiptoss early. Nina goes for a handspring moves but gets reversed then has to evade a facewash kick in the corner. Nina pulls the apron out while Amale is on it and Amale falls.

Nina takes control. They trade shots and Amale pumping knees her and sentons her. Nina misses a boot in the corner and ends up getting a facewash kick. Amale hits some weird spinebuster variation where she holds the leg up and wins it.

It wasn't a great match but they hit their stuff and it was kept short.

A-Kid is still trying to help out Saxon Huxley. He tries to teach him rhymes and Saxon can't get it. A-Kid leaves and he suddenly talks normally and gets it. A-Kid hears that but Saxon goes back to acting nuts.

Sha Samuels is carrying the Heritage Cup around with Noam Dar then we see someone steal it and lock them in their room.

We see clips of Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith celebrating their #1 Contendership from last week. Mustache Mountain confronts them. Carter and Smith say they are the hottest team but MM says they are at the top of the mountain and says they will stay there.

Gallus is now hosting Supernova Sessions (Since Dar and Sha are locked in a room) and changes the show name to "Gallus Boys On Top". They bring out Jordan Devlin. Jordan doubts the honesty of this. They ask Jordan what he plans to do next...and then try to end the show as he talks. They admit it is a joke then Dar and Samuels come in. They are traumatized over what they have done to their set and Sha Samuels tells them to leave.

They all argue and Wolf mocks Devlin as he has his sunglasses. Dar tries to end this and Joe Coffey grabs the Heritage Cup and hints that he wants a shot. Dar tries to hit the music to end the show and Gallus wants their music played instead. They then goof around to their music.

Dave Mastiff goes up to Jack Starz backstage. Starz blames him for the loss and is touching Dave's jacket. Starz said he wants them to be a cohesive team and says he wants a jacket like Mastiff's. Dave says he has to earn it and says he will think about it, then tells him not to touch the jacket.

Possibly Kenny Williams talks in front of a thunder and lightning chroma about Sam Gradwell? These segments are hard sometimes with NXT UK because there's a big roster and not everyone appears all the time.

A-Kid vs Saxon Huxley

Hux throws off Kid early. Hux lifts him up and places him on the apron then hits the Lou Thesz press. He then grabs Kid by the head and bangs it off the mat.

Kid springboards but gets thrown on a big slam. Kid gets sat on the 2nd rope then lariated in the back of the head. Hux hits a big backbreaker. Kid is on all fours and Hux butt drops on his back. Kid comes back with chops and Kid armdrags then dropkicks him. Hux misses a big elbow and misses a Thesz press. Hux goes out and Kid topes him.

Kid then crossbodies him off the top. Hux his a big backbreaker. Kid hits a shiranui then a flying side kick for 2. Hux has him by the hand and he high kicks him, then springboard moonsaults into a ddt for the win on Hux.

This was a good big man vs little man match with Kid looking good here. Kid's moonsault ddt was nice and I loved the jumping sidekick he did.

Gallus fools around in the back with one of the Coffey's playing with a traffic cone. Wolfgang still has Devlin's glasses and Devlin chairs him and takes the glasses back. No offense, but Wolfgang had that coming for stealing Devlin's stuff.

A-Kid was interviewed. He said he feels like Saxon is finding himself, then Die Familie walks past him with Charlie Dempsey (Regal's kid) staring him down

They announce Jordan Devlin vs Wolfgang for next week along with Kenny Williams vs Sam Gradwell.

Teoman vs Nathan Frazer

They trade blows to start and Frazer gets some headlock takeovers. NF hits a nice dropkick. Frazer goes for a springboard but gets hits throat pulled down on the top rope then Teoman neckbreakers him over the turnbuckle connector. Teo then trips him and hits a basement dropkick.

Teoman hits some interesting punches to the NF's neck. He starts slapping him in the neck then NF comes back with his own slaps. NF throws him out. He tries to go out after him but he has to slide out of the apron that Teoman puts on him. NF then is thrown into the barricade and he moonsaults off of it onto Teoman. Teo then ties up Frazer in the apron and stomps him.

Teo throws NF into the ropes and as he rebounds, he crossbodies his back. NF comes off the 2nd rope and tries to headspring but he kind of stalls during it and holds his neck after. NF comes back with a big superkick. NF does a big running forearm and a slingblade and dives on all 3 members of Die Familie outside. NF springboard splashes Teo for 2.

NF asai moonsaults but Teoman dropkicks him during it. Teo then  double underhooks him and twists him into a drop for 2. Teo then hits a sliding D for another 2.

NF has his head against the bottom rope and Teoman stomps on him. Teo gets yanked off the bottom rope and he twists around and enzugiri's him. Die Familie interfere as NF goes up top then NF hits a huge pheonix splash for the win.

They tried to work the injured neck storyline here but I didn't think it was as well done as it could have been. It was a very action packed match though and as usual, Frazer's stuff looks great. This was the best Teoman has looked and while they did go a little overboard, it was still a decent match.

Overall thoughts: This was the usual good NXT UK show. The women's match was passable, A-Kid vs Huxley was good and the main wasn't perfect, but it was also good. I also did like the Gallus segment.
