We are in London, England and your announcers are Andy Shepherd and Nigel McGuinness.

Dragunov gets on Mastiff’s back and Dragunov with elbows to the head and Mastiff falls back but the referee calls for the bell.

Winner: Ilja Dragunov (medical stoppage)

The medical staff checks on Mastiff.

We take a look at Xia Brookside. She says she is going to win next week because she has been working her way from the ground up for the past two and a half years. She will go out there and fight and give it her all because Kay Lee Ray is not a champion to be proud of. Brookside says to be your NXT UK Women’s Champion would be a dream come true. She will fight with pride and passion and she will fight for all of you.

We go to the back where Sid Scala is with Kenny Williams.

Sid reminds Kenny about the stipulation. Kenny says he knows because he asked for the match. After tonight, Amir is gone and the Luckian remains.

We go to a video for Stevie Turner. She says he has a bad habit for taking things to the next level. She says that NXT UK has some the best superstars in WWE. They are just a little too two dimensional. Stevie Turner is four dimensional. She says she will not stop until she has beaten everyone. When you see me wrestle, you are seeing into the future of wrestling.

We go to commercial.

We are back with Ilja Dragunov in the back and he is asked what happened. Ilja says Dave wanted to help him but his lack of self control has consequences. Ilja says he understands. That means things have to change.

We see Gallus earlier this week and Mark and Wolfgang are asked whether playing soccer is a new training regimen. Mark says they proved that when they drop the ball, Wolfgang says Gallus boys get back on top.

Rampage Brown brings the ball back to Wolfgang and Mark.

Rampage asks where is Joe and Mark says if he gives him the ball back, he will tell him.

Brown tosses the ball the other way and he says that Joe said that when he was ready that Joe would be ready.

Wolfgang says that Joe isn’t here but he is here.

Brown says that Wolfgang will do.

We go to Isla Dawn and she says that she is an entity that none of these girls have ever seen before. Dawn says Kay Lee Ray has used her as a stepping stone to further herself. She has to watch while her title reign burns. To become NXT UK Women’s Champion, what a gift it would be and she only had to sacrifice her soul.

It is time for the SuperNova 11 Sessions with Noam Dar and Sha Samuels.

Noam says it has been brought to his opinion that the general opinion of the WWE Universe is that he is underrated. Noam says that whether it is good or bad, he does not need validation from any of you dafties. I validate me and I rate me. The rest is simply noise.

Noam brings out his guest Nathan Frazer, and he says he is a first time guest.

Nathan shows up and he says it is good to be back and Dar says that isn’t Nathan Frazer.

Noam says he doesn’t do reruns. Noam yells at Frazer for eating the food that is only for new guests.

Noam says he doesn’t know what to ask so he asks “Nathan” what is so different about you now.

Frazer says the name Ben Carter was a name he gave himself so his parents wouldn’t know what he was doing. Then he went to the United States to play soccer, he couldn’t have his coach know that he was wrestling. He has nothing to hide any more.

Noam asks “Nathan” what has he learned in his time in NXT UK.

Frazer says the reason he came to NXT UK is to learn the traditional British style. He has been training at the Performance Centre with Johnny Moss and James Mason, trailblazers of the game. He has been trying to blend styles and he feels that he is a more complete competitor.

Noam says he has no more questions, but Sha has a question. He asks Frazer who does he think he is. Samuels says everyone is singing your praises about you being the future. Sha says he speaks the truth but you are not a British wrestler. Frazer says he is from the UK. Samuels says that Frazer would drown in the ring with a real British wrestler. He says that Frazer is a fraud and a one trick pony.

Noam says that Frazer hasn’t had the true lesson from a British grand master. He says that Frazer wouldn’t last a minute, much less six three minute rounds in a British Rules Match. Dar says that Frazer couldn’t step up to him.

Frazer asks if that is a challenge and Samuels accepts it for Dar.

Frazer says it would be something if this rookie beats the grand master of British Wrestling.

We go to Jinny. She says she does not care who she faces in this gauntlet. She is not letting anyone take this chance from her. She is not letting anyone take what is hers. Jinny says she has been studying Kay Lee Ray. Jinny says this is her division and she was born for greatness.

We see Sid Scala earlier in the day to remind Amir Jordan about the stipulation for tonight. Amir says he understands.

We have a video package for Flash Morgan Webster, Mark Andrews, and Dani Luna, the Sub Culture.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look Tyler Bate and A-Kid. We start off with a look at their match from February 2020. Tyler says he hasn’t watched this match in a long time. A-Kid says you can tell that he really wanted to wrestle Tyler Bate because he looked up to him. Tyler says he has a soft spot for A-Kid and he trained with him. A-Kid says he was looking to try to win the match real quick. Tyler says that A-Kid could make some mistakes. A-Kid says he probably couldn’t have beaten Tyler at that point. Tyler says he sensed some naivete. A-Kid says he did not have the mental strength to do it. Tyler says he didn’t have the matches under him.

We take a look at their second match. A-Kid says you can tell he was a different person. He has the Heritage Cup and that is all he is about now. A-Kid says that Tyler is so calm and he feels the moment. Tyler mentions how hairy he was. A-Kid says he does not have the mental freedom to be in that state for a long time. He says he learned it when he lost the first fall. He figured out what was wrong and he was going to fix it. Tyler says the DDT is the moment he lost the match. It was when A-Kid saw that he had some self doubts and A-Kid crept into his mind.

Tyler says when he gets frustrated he has to remind himself to take the lesson. Our greatest lessons are in our losses.

Tyler says when he wins the Cup, it will be cerebral. A-Kid says he will know he is the better man when he has the Cup in his hand.

We take a look at Dani Luna. She says that she is the strongest in the match and she is the only one who knows what real loss feels like. Their paths have crossed before. She faced Kay Lee after her third match. Now it is inevitable.
