That's right, it's Wednesday again and that means ONLY one thing... The double feature of NXT UK and NXT. First up, it's NXT UK as we continue the Glasgow run of shows. Confirmed for tonight, subject to further information...
*WWE UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER MATCH QUALIFIER: Jordan Devlin v Ligero
*Piper Niven v Jamie Hayter
*Ilja Dragunov (TV debut) v Jack Starz
*Xia Brookside v Killer Kelly
*WWE UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER MATCH QUALIFIER: Dave Mastiff v Wolfgang
Later on, it will be a fresh new block of NXT as we head towards Takeover XXV...
*NXT Tag Team Champions The War Viking Kabuki Machine Raider Warrior Purple Monkey Dishwasher Experience update everyone on their NXT futures
*Kushida v Kona Reeves
*Keith Lee (injury return) v Cezar Bononi
*Vanessa Borne v Jessie Elaban
All that, and more since NXT UK definitely is slack on the preview articles, TONIGHT on NXT UK and NXT!

Interested to see how viewers take to Dragunov, he's a very acquired taste. I'm a big fan as I've spent years watching him in wXw, but dropping him in full form in NXT UK might confuse a few...

Dragunov worked the dark match at the Coventry tapings. I really enjoyed him.

If it's the typical less than 5 minutes squash WWE debutantes get, expect half a bunch of folk to decide they don't get the appeal. |

I still don't understand all of this War (Excuse me, Viking) Raider stuff, haha. I get the abrupt draft up to the main roster disrupted stuff, but eesh.

LOL ok, Keith Lee (who apparently wants a side career as an orchestra conductor) is something I think I CAN get behind. |

NXT this week was mostly filler barring the War Viking Raider Experience stuff. But seeing KUSHIDA is always nice, and I'm totally down for a feud between he and Gulak. Some other thoughts here if you wanna check them out: youtu.be/ARnYuxdIvrQI do hope Adam Cole gets the title soon, I think he could do a lot more with it as a slimy heel then "totally a good guy now and wasn't a heel up until Ciampa's injury" Gargano is doing. But in fairness, Johnny hasn't had a long reign, or had time to do anything, so I concede that. I just think Cole would've been a better champion. That's something I wouldn't have said a year ago. |

Had to chuckle at Gargano being there for Riddle after Riddle was attacked, kind of like how Aleister was attacked by Gargano last year. Hmmm.

It’s weird to think Cezar Bononi won the NXT Future Star Award a couple of years ago considering he’s still just used as an enhancement guy.
If the Street Profits don’t get the belts at Takeover I’m going to be so annoyed.
I feel like I ironically love Kona Reeves. He’s such an absurd looking guy that I can’t help but root for him.
