BRM Reviews the 4/17/2019 NXT UK

RAUL MENDOZA & HUMBERTO CARRILLO vs. THE COFFEY BROTHERS (w/Wolfgang)- 5/10

KASSIUS OHNO PROMO- AWESOME!
He’s positioning himself as a “real veteran” as opposed to guys like El Ligero, so I guess we can assume that will be Ohno’s next program.

VARIOUS WRESTLERS PUT OVER PETE DUNNE VS. WALTER AND SAID THEY WANTED TO SEE A REMATCH- The babyfaces all put the match over. Aichner & Barthel said they had no opinion. Devlin said he didn’t care about a rematch. WALTER showed up to have a stare-down with him. This was meh.

DAVE MASTIFF vs. KONA REEVES- 1.25/10
Boring.

RADIZE INTERVIEWS DAVE MASTIFF- Wolfgang showed up to yell at him and they shoved each other but it was quickly broken up

KACY CATANZARO vs. RHEA RIPLEY- 2/10
Ripley gets the dominant win but Kacy gets to build herself up as the lovable underdog with her selling and by getting over her athleticism and her ability to use it to escape from holds. Ripley came back after the match to put Kacy in her signature submission, but quickly dropped it.

RHEA RIPLEY BULLIES KACY CATANZARO IN THE TRAINER’S ROOM BUT PIPER NIVEN SHOWS UP TO SCARE HER OFF- good build for the inevitable Ripley vs. Niven match.
Also, Kacy made a new friend!

JINNY IGNORES AN INTERVIEWER ASKING HER ABOUT HER LOSS TO TONI STORM- good

ZACK GIBSON PROMO- good
He said the babyfaces would never get anywhere near the NXT UK Tag Team Titles.

KENNY WILLIAMS & AMIR JORDAN vs. GRIZZLED YOUNG VETERANS- 6/10
Babyfaces win by count-out when the heels get frustrated and walk out.

PETE DUNNE VIDEO PACKAGE/PROMO- AWESOME!
He’s coming for his belt, and he says he knows how to beat WALTER. He also says that WALTER doesn’t know how be a champion. Fighting words.

A decent episode of NXT UK, and mostly on the strength of the promos. I'm really not a fan of these mixed-roster Axxess taping shows. They feel way too small.
Hold #712: ARM BAR!
