I thought they would take a week off with NXT UK next week. Now, after work, I have to do NXT UK & Crown Jewel records and finish up my October in Review.

I think it's just the 3 of us who watch this show

Sorta a one match show, but a great main event.

That Trent/Dar match was excellent.

Oh count me in as well, you got 4.

I gave out about the aimless direction of NXT UK recently last week; this week was a lot better. Some future plans are evident. Setting up Gallus vs Imperioum is as intriguing as it is appealling, and also throwing GYV into the mix as well. Both the Ligero/Banks and Seven/Dar matches were great, and I am very down for some potential Tyler Bate vs A-Kid. Also like the potential set up as Xia as an opponent for Kay Lee Ray.

The biggest problem NXT UK has right now is a lack of top faces. Imperium, Gallus, Devlin, Dar, Ohno, Gisbon: all heels. The only faces I feel who are close to their level are Seven, Bate, Andrews and Mastiff. Folks like Dragunov, Ligero, Banks and hopefully A-Kid will get a bit more elevated I hope. Imperium will only continue to look strong if they have strong face opponents to defeat.

I don't watch it live. I just double check the order of the matches & results from the spoilers. And then watch it over the weekend.

Make it 5. I really like NXT UK. Just caught up on the last 2 weeks. It's rarely bad and has had so awesome matches the last 2 weeks like Imperium vs. The Hunt, Gallus vs. Welsh Guys, Banks vs. Ligero and Seven vs. Dar was fantastic.

Make it Syxx. I love nxt UK,and my non fan gf thinks it's "more real" as far as in ring product. Pretty much every match is solid.
