WWE NXT UK 6/16/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/wwe-nxt-uk-692022.html

Trent Seven addresses his future tonight after the Mustache Mountain break-up.

Tiger Turan vs Josh Morrell

Josh rolls out of a wristlock. He tries to monkey flip out of one but Tiger holds on. Josh then bridges out of an armlock and headflips. Tiger then does the same and arm throws him off of it. Tiger hits a nice dropkick then cartwheels over Josh. He then hits a butterfly suplex.

Tiger hits a top rope crossbody for 2. and the ref holds up an "X" signalling that there's an injury. The ref then calls it off and Tiger wins by referee's stoppage.

Well, this obviously wasn't planned and it's disappointing that this happened to Josh. Leading up to the injury, Tiger was having his best match yet and they were both looking good out there. Hopefully Josh is okay.

We get a Blair Davenport video package. She hasn't been seen since she got injured against Meiko. 

Myla Grace vs Lash Legend

Myla is wearing some very colorful gear with an hat with 2 ponytails coming through it.She had a very energetic entrance here.  

Lash piefaces her to start then Myla climbs on her and hits punches. Myla drops down to duck a punch and goes for a sunset flip, but Lash just drops down on her. Lash hangs her on the top rope then back elbows her. Myla bumps to the floor off of it. Myla goes for a top rope crossbody but is caught and has her head banged off the ropes. Lash then fallaway slams her.

Lash gorilla presses her but Myla gets out.Myla then gets put over Lash's knee and stretched. Myla hits some forearms back and hurricanrana's her. Myla 619's her back and uses the ropes to ddt her. Lash then pump kicks her and wins it.

It wasn't anything special. Lash's stuff looked okay today and while Myla is pretty, she essentially wrestles like an Ice Ribbon wrestler right now and has a very long way to go.

We get a Sarray video package. She said she is excited to come to NXT UK and can't wait to face the top talent. This is the first we've seen of Sarray since her thing with Chase U was abruptly dropped. If any NXT UK staff are watching, maybe we could get a Sarray vs Meiko match?

Brooks Jensen, Fallon Henley and Josh Briggs say they are coming to NXT UK. Fallon says they have a fantastic women's division but she is up for the challenge. Jensen and Briggs call Carter and Smith bad @ss and say that they want a chance at their NXT UK Tag Titles. They said it would be an honor to fight them and said it's time for the southern boys to bring gold to the USA. 

Noam Dar and Sha Samuels vs Damon Kemp and Wolfgang

Kemp takes down Sha to start then rides his back. Dar pushes Kemp on a break then Kemp flings him around off a gutwrench. He then karelin's lifts him. Wolf gets in and suplexes Sha while holding his wrist. Wolf then whips Sha into a Kemp belly to belly.

Wolf lifts up Sha by his arm. Kemp and Dar go at it. Dar hits some kicks then Kemp catches one and suplexes him. Sha is waving his papers around to distract Kemp, then Dar gets a leg kick in on Kemp. Dar then hits a judas effect back elbow and Sha works on Kemp.

Sha hits a euro to Kemp's knee then Kemp takes a double suplex. Sha slams Kemp and kicks him in the back for 2. Kemp hits a nice belly to belly on Dar and Kemp goes for the tag but Dar had knocked Wolf off the apron. Sha pounds on Kemp then Kemp suplexes both opponents at the same time.

Kemp makes the hot tag into Wolfgang, who cleans house. He hits a punch flurry on Sha then crossbodies him in the corner. Wolf then top rope double axehandles and sentons Sha. Wolf hits his unusual fallaways slam on Sha then Kemp clocks Dar with a hard lariat. Kemp does Wolfgang's pose with him then Wolf hits a nice lanzarse style spear. Dar hits a running face kick on Wolf then Sha michinoku drivers Wolf for 2.

Wolf hot tags Kemp in and Kemp germans Sha. Sha is ready to take another but holds onto Dar to stop it. The ref is distracted, Sha eye pokes Kemp then Wolf trips Sha with his scarf. Kemp then hits a powerslam on Sha to win it. Kemp and Wolf do Wolf's pose after. 

Sha runs in the ring again after the match and gets spinebustered.

The finish could have been done a little better, but it was an okay tag match that definitely had enough time.

Nina Samuels vs Sarray is announced for next week as is Smith/Carter vs Briggs/Jensen.

Trent Seven comes out. He said he didn't know what he'd do if Mustache Mountain lost the tag titles. He calls out Tyler Bate. He said he has been privileged to do the things he did with him. He talks about some of the places they've wrestled in and talks about them selling out Royal Albert Hall. He thanks everyone for being part of this ride. They hug and do the Mustache Mountain hand signal. He hugs him again and says he loves him then low blows him. Trent then tells him he never needed him and slaps him in the head. The crowd chants "you suck" and he hits a reverse death valley driver. He then puts the mustache mountain towel on him and poses.

Well, you know, it is wrestling and you can see this stuff coming a mile away. The crowd bought it and they did what they could with it. Trent then leaves to a bunch of boos.

Overall thoughts: Not the greatest edition of NXT UK ever. There were 3 matches and Trent turning on Bate, with one of the matches ending due to injury.
