Hopefully, the plan is for Gallus or Pretty Deadly to take the gold before the titles are retired. While a good tag team, they should not be the last NXT UK tag champions.
It would have been better with the non-finish to just end the match sooner.īriggs and Jensen have felt awkward as NXT UK champions since winning the gold. The two teams could be good together, but it was hard to tell. This was an uninspired finish to a match that never truly got going. The champions brawled with Elton Prince and Kit Wilson to the back, getting themselves counted out. While Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen challenged Wolfgang and Mark Coffey physically, neither team got close to a finish before Pretty Deadly got involved. Later, McDonagh cut a promo hanging upside down, promising to come back more dangerous than before.Bate did not sound all that confident with his side of this promo, but luckily the crowd was respectful.Both men put over JD McDonagh as a great competitor, even though the match last week felt largely one-sided.While Bate is appropriate as the first and last NXT UK champion as well as the only man to hold the title twice, this spot should have been given to the man who took the torch from Gunther. The only real shame is that Ilja Dragunov is missing out on all of this. Bate will likely give Breakker the match of his career to date at World Collide. It will be a shame to see the NXT UK Championship retired as it is a very impressive title in terms of legacy and look, but WWE wants a fresh start with NXT Europe. This also likely indicates all of the NXT UK titles will be unified at Worlds Collide. This was not a surprising announcement given the recent news about the end of NXT UK, especially after Bate came out to confront Breakker last week. The NXT UK champion challenged the NXT champion to a unification match at NXT Worlds Collide. Bron Breakker called out Tyler Bate to get answers for his arrival last week.
