One of the original standout stars of WWE’s UK expansion has returned, but he didn’t pick up the W. Tyler Bate wrestled for the first time in NXT UK since the return of the program from pandemic hiatus. He battled A-Kid in a bout for the Heritage Cup, but there is not a new trophy holder as A-Kid defended his honor.
In a backstage interview later in the night, Bate congratulated A-Kid for his victory and hopes that the two stars can meet in the ring once again. A-Kid also gave an interview after the match, expressing his joy and holding onto the Heritage Cup.
Elsewhere on tonight’s episode, Jordan Devlin battled Oliver Carter in an open challenge for his NXT Cruiserweight gold and Isla Dawn took on Xia Brookside. WWE Network subscribers can catch the latest episode of WWE NXT on demand right now and every Thursday night.
