We get a video hyping the five teams all taking part in Tag Team Turmoil tonight, vying for a shot at the NXTUK Tag Team Championships. Nigel and Andy welcome us to NXTUK, announcing that in two weeks from Sunday NXTUK will present NXTUK TakeOver and it will be there that the winners of tonigh'ts Tag Team Turmoil will get their match against Gallus.
1. SAM GRADWELL VS WALTER
We start with a non-title match an a huge opportunity for the upstart Gradwell. He gets a selfie with himself an WALTER, the NXTUK Champion unimpressed with the shenanigans. Gradwell goes back to his corner as he uploads the tweet. As he turns around he's met by a huge Lariot by WALTER. WALTER picks up Gradwell and drops him with multiple Power Bombs until the referee stops the match and awards the win to the champ. Post match WALTER hurls the referee from the ring and continues to Power Bomb Gradwell until Ilja Dragunov's music hits.
Ilja charges the ring and WALTER retreats. Dragunov grabs a microphone and screams a simple request to the Champion: "WALTER! NXTUK TAKEOVER! YOU! ME! IRON MAN MATCH!" WALTER shouts back in acceptance. We have our NXTUK TakeOver Main Event; the first Iron Man Match in NXTUK History!
Cameras catch up with Jinny in her London office. She has photos of Aoife Valkyrie sprawled across her desk - the ones that mysterious photographer took last week during her match - saying she recognises a star when she sees one. Jinny says next week she'll make Aiofe an offer of a lifetime...one she won't refuse!
2. NINA SAMUELS VS CANDYFLOSS
Andy and Nigel inform us that Candyfloss has now joined NXTUK full-time and is looking to make an immediate impact with a win over Nina. They also remind us that Nina was part responsible for the sabotage on Piper Niven two weeks back so she is capable of anything.
It's a good showcase for Candyfloss, but Nina Samuels picks up the win with Hail To The Knee-Na!
Sam Gradwell is backstage, sat down in agony after his beating by WALTER. Radse asks how he's feeling, and all he can say is "WALTER...didn't...pin...Gradwell!" before franticlly tweeting on his phone how he technically didn't lose to the NXTUK Champion.
3. HERITAGE CUP | A-KID VS DAVE MASTIFF
A unique David vs Goliath showcase in our first round of the Heritage Cup. It starts friendly enough but when A-Kid gets the upper hand on Mastiff in a few showcases you see Bomber get frustrated. This leads to Mastiff wiping out A-Kid with a Corner Splash and a Vader Bomb for the first fall.
Mastiff immediatley hits a second Vader Bomb before the start of the next round, admonished by the referee for cheating. A-Kid is hurt but insists on carrying on. He gets one more flurry in but Bomber Dave crushes him with a Cannonball in the corner and a third and final Vader Bomb for the second straight fall and the win. Mastiff looks visibily annoyed as he heads to the back.
Dave Mastiff is approached backstage about his win, and he snaps at Radze saying he's sick of "pint size little bastards in his ring". Mastiff claims the Heritage of British wrestling is in monsters like Giant Haystacks...a heritage that Dave Mastiff will carry as Heritage Champion.
4. KAY LEE RAY ADDRESSES PIPER NIVEN
As Andy and Nigel talk about the Iron Man Match for NXTUK TakeOver they're interrupted by Kay Lee Ray, who stands on their announce table and says she's been told she'll be facing Piper Niven at TakeOver. Kay Lee Ray says that Niven literally, and figuatively, doesn't have a leg to stand on - so makes their title match a Last Woman Standing Match!
KLR warns Niven that after TakeOver she'll neither challenge for the Women's Title or walk to the ring again.
We see Saxon Huxley in a low-lit room. To his left is Tyson T-Bone, to his right is CandyFloss, both in hoods covering most of their faces. Behind them some unnamed hooded figures stand by. Huxley promised a rebirth and those who oppose will be drowned in the oceans that will wash NXTUK clean. Ominious words from Huxley.
5. TAG TEAM TURMOIL | WINNER RECIVES AN NXTUK TAG TITLE SHOT AT TAKEOVER
Pretty Deady and Kenny Williams and Amir Jordan start. Jordan looks like he's got it when he goes up for Air Jordan, but Lewis Howley pushes him off the top to the floor and Sam Stoker gets an inside cradle for the sudden win.
Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter are out next and they put a beating on Howley and Stoker. Miscommunication leads to the end when Ashton goes to boot Howley, but he ducks and Ashton smashes into Carter. Stoker makes a quick cover for Pretty Deady's second win!
South Wales Sub Culture hit the ring as team number three. Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster send Pretty Deadly packing with stereo 450 and Shooting Star Presses for the win.
The final team of the night is The Hunt. SWSW and Hunt have the longest back and forth of the Turmoil. The end comes when Andrews goes for a Springboard Cross Body but flies straight into a Spear by Primate for the three count. Post match Andrews and Webster shake Boar and Primate's hands in a sign of respect. They leave and Gallus enter. They and The Hunt shout obsenticies at one another as NXT goes off the air, both team set for a showdown at TakeOver!
