WWE NXT UK 4/21/2022
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/wwe-nxt-uk-4142022.html
Back Alley Brawl - Kenny Williams vs Sam Gradwell
This just takes place in the arena and not a back alley. Sam jumps him as he makes his entrance. Kenny gets banged off the apron and rails then drives Sam into the apron and steps. Someone in a glittery orange mask is shown in the crowd then the match actually begins. Sam pounds on him and throws him out of the ring. Kenny gets thrown over a rail then has trashed dumped on him. Then he is hit with a trash can. Sam is thrown over the rails and the masked man appears again.
Sam goes in the post then Kenny goes under the ring and grabs a fire extinguisher. Sam then is sprayed with it and hit with it. Kenny gets slammed on a trash can and a table is set up outside. Kenny gets thrown into a chair between the buckles. Sam grabs a strap and whips him.
Kenny comes back with a back elbow off the 2nd rope while Sam is on the apron. Kenny goes up top and is distracted by the masked man. Sam then F-U'd him off the apron through a table then wins it. The masked man then chased after Kenny
It was a real simple hardcore match and wasn't anything too special. The masked man got a lot of the attention here. I was disappointed that Kenny didn't get a real whooping and I was disappointed that this didn't actually take place outside.
Symbiosis do a promo on Mark Andrews and Wild Boar. Eddie Dennis says wild animals need to be broken in before they are of any use. Eddie calls for a tag team match with them and Symbiosis. Eddie says they will run their vehicle off the road to revenge before they meet their destination.

Mustache Mountain wins 2 falls to 1. Tyler notices it and is disappointed at Trent's tactics on the outside.
I thought it was a good main event. Not a classic or anything and Mustache Mountain were clearly the better team here, but Smith and Carter did okay. I didn't like the knee drop + burning hammer kick out, but that's about it.
Overall thoughts: The main was good but there wasn't much else that was noteworthy.
