WWE NXT UK REPORT: A TITLE SURRENDERED, NEW CHAMPIONS CROWNED, SARRAY IN ACTION, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2022-06-23 18:47:00

Your announcers are Andy Shepherd and Nigel McGuinness.

We start off with a look at Trent Seven’s betrayal of Tyler Bate.

NXT UK Tag Team Champions Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith make their way to the ring and it appears that Ashton is wearing a significant knee brace.

Smith says they appreciate everyone and he has been thinking back to a few years ago when he was at the lowest point of his career. He couldn’t buy a win or even get on the card. He told himself that people did not come to the shows to see Ashton Smith. That changed when Oliver became my tag team partner. Then I was able to come out every time with a smile on my face. All I ever wanted to be was a WWE Champion. I have watched the match 100 times and every time I look at the crowd’s reaction.

All of the love and energy makes every single moment worth it. I am proud to say that we did it. We are your NXT UK tag team champions.

At the same time, it makes what I have to say next makes what I have to say next twice as hard. I suffered a serious knee injury during the match and I ruptured my MCL. We need to vacate the NXT UK Tag Titles. We were looking forward to coming out here for our first defense, but instead, we are out here to let everyone down. I did not want to come into this ring to tell Oliver I let him down.

Oliver says Ashton did not let him down. Their goal was to become tag team champions and we said we would do anything to get there. We created a bond three years ago. Anything you do or decide, I will always have your back.

Ashton tells Oliver he appreciates that. Ashton says he will need to take some time to heal. Ashton tells Oliver that he is the freshest flavor on this brand and he cannot wait for everyone to see how good he is. He will be there as Oliver’s number one fan and his brother. Ashton says he will be back stronger than ever and they will achieve their dream twice.

Ashton asks for Sid Scala to come out to the ring.

Sid says he saw the x-rays and it is important that this brand has tag team champions.

Ashton asks Sid to say it one more time.

Sid asks the crowd to show their appreciation to the tag team champions Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith.

Ashton and Oliver give Sid the tag title belts and leave the ring.

Sid says he has been in meetings with Johnny Saint . . .

Die Familie interrupt and Rohan Raja says they were never pinned in the tag title match. Technically, those titles are theirs. Raja wants them to be declared as the new NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

Sid says he understands their position, but there are other teams hungry for an opportunity.

Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen come out to the ring.

Mark Andrews and Wild Boar also make their way out to the ringside area.

Dave Mastiff and Jack Starz also come out to the ring.

Does this mean . . . (Of course it does)

Sid announces the Four Way Elimination Match to determine the new NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

We see Sarray knocking on Meiko Satomura’s locker room door and she enters. Meiko welcomes Sarray to NXT UK and then Sarray leaves.

Meiko tells Emilia McKenzie that Sarray is not the only visitor and that Emilia will face Fallon Henley next week. Meiko says she hopes to see Fighting Spirit.

We are back and Sha Samuels is asked why is he at the building today.

Sha says he is here to make some money. He says a bookie’s work . . .

Sha asks Sid about what happened last week. Sha wants the match stricken from the record. Sid says that is not going to happen. Sha asks for a match against Wolfgang. Sha tells Sid what he is going to do to Wolfgang while Wolfgang shows up behind Sha.

Sha assumes that Wolfgang is behind him and then he puts Sid between himself and Wolfgang.

Wolfgang suggests they make this interesting.

Sha walks away and says he will embarrass Wolfgang.

We go to commercial.

We are back with Sid Scala being interviewed earlier in the week about Sarray’s debut. Sid says it will be a challenge, but Noam Dar enters the office.

Noam says he is a bit concerned. As the longest reigning Heritage Cup Champion, I have become a victim of his own success. He has knocked down everyone presented to him. Noam says he had an epiphany and he says he might have to retire on top.

Noam says Sid is right, one more match. It needs to take place in a stadium with fireworks, confetti, and cake. Noam tells Sid to get on that. He says he will need double pay since it will be a farewell match.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Sarray is congratulated on her victory as she walks through the back.

Xia Brookside and Eliza Alexander are in the hallway and they feign excitement for Sarray. Eliza asks Sarray what her medallion is and Xia tells Eliza not to touch it because she might be turned into a Power Ranger.
