WWE NXT UK 4/14/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/wwe-nxt-uk-472022.html

Gallus (Mark and Joe Coffey) vs Jack Starz and Dave Mastiff

Mark and Dave go at it to start. They shoulder battle and coll9ide then Joe is thrown off. Mark and Jack trade armdrags and Jack gets a double atomic drop. Jack hits some euro uppercuts to Joe then tackles him into the buckles. Joe picks up Dave but Jack dropkicks Dave over him. Dave hits a big slam on Joe then sentons him.

Dave headbutts Joe then drops Jack on him. Joe hits an unusual belly to belly on Jack then Dave germans Joe. Joe missile dropkicks Dave from the top. Mark gets the hot tag in and lariats and double axe handles Jack. Mark then bulldogs him from the second rope for 2. Mark does a nice back body drop on Jack. Jack makes a comeback and hits a nice back body drop on Mark.

Mark enzugiri's Dave and Joe tags in when Mark isn't looking. Dave then forward fireman's carry slams Joe and Jack Starz hits a powerbomb on Joe to win it.

This was a good one. A nice hard hitting match here. They pushed the storyline of Jack really stepping up and kind of being a little goliath here and he did good with it. They are also pushing problems with Gallus and they expanded on that further here. Very well done.

Mark and Joe argue after then Joe pushes him. Wolfgang comes out and tries to break it up.

We saw clips of Strong vs Ilja Dragunov last week. Ilja is all chopped up and Strong says he is special. Strong says they will see each other again and it will be different next time. Jordan Devlin then walks in and says Ilja can't beat him one on one.

Sam Gradwell and Kenny Williams did video promos against each other. Sam said Kenny stuck his nose where it didn't belong and Kenny said he will be the one to shut him up. Sam said he can't bring him up to his street, but he will bring the streets to him. He challenged him to a back alley brawl. Kenny accepts. Sam doesn't think Kenny can hang with him but Kenny's not worried.

Meiko Satomura comes out. She said she is here for Isla Dawn and said she wants her title belt back. Isla comes out. They do some video effects for her and sound effects. She said she would give it back but she wants a rematch under her rules. Meiko said she only had to ask if she wanted to fight again then Isla black mists her. She said it will take place in a world of darkness.

Amale was asked if she would be watching Eliza today and she said she would. She said it was just a matter of time until she gets her hand on Xia and Eliza Alexander.

Gallus were arguing behind closed doors then Joe Coffey left.

Mark Andrews was with Wild Boar. He said they had a 15 year friendship, minus when Eddie Dennis got in Boar's head. Boar started screaming about how he's going to rip up Eddie and Mark said his crew will even the odds. Boar then started screwming his name.

Eliza Alexander vs Angel Hayze

Xia Brookside is with Eliza. This is Eliza's debut. Eliza forearms her in the back of the head then Angel hits a bad spin kick to the gut. Angel lariats her in the back of the head for 2. Eliza kicks her in the back. Eliza holds her by the arm and kicks her in the side of the head then Angel sling blades her for 2. Eliza pulls her down by the hair. Eliza then wins it with a running knee.

This wasn't too good and Eliza didn't show much here at all.

Emilia McKenzie is interviewed. She says she trains hard and that's what led to her being undefeated. She credits Meiko Satomura. Stevie Turner then jumps in the conversation and says in a world fighting to be #1, she's #2 behind Meiko. Stevie says Meiko doesn't see Emilia as a threat and that's something to think about.

We get a video package on Mustache Mountain. They say they are history makers and sayd they have to keep the titles. Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith say they aren't getitng held back anymore and need those titles. Mustache Mountain says history will repeat itself and they will win again and Carter/Smith say they are the best tag team. They meet next week in a 2 out of 3 falls match.

Teoman vs A-Kid

Die Familie is out there like usual for Teoman. They go to the mat early. Kid uses the 2nd rope to armdrag Teoman then dropkicks him.  Raja trips Kid on the apron then Teoman dropkick him. Teoman hits a big slam. Kid rolls him up then hits a big kick to the chest then fisherman's suplexes him for 2 then Teoman comes back with a double underhook bomb. Teoman hits a running forearm. Teoman handsprings then gets caught in a sleeper on his way back.

Teoman tries to running forearm Kid on the outside but nails the steps instead. Kid then spring moonsaults outside onto his friends as Teoman moves. Teoman backdrops him on the apron. He brings him back in and hits a forward flipping dragon sleeper driver for the win.

I wasn't too much into this one. I just didn't think it was anything special and Teoman's kind of an unorthodox guy that I don't really get. The finishing move Teoman used was absolutely wild though.

Overall thoughts: I really only cared for the opener here and not much else. Eliza Alexander wasn't too good in her debut and the main wasn't anything special.
