BRM Reviews the 4/22/2021 NXT UK

[Big Red Machine]

JOE COFFEY vs. EDDIE DENNIS- 7/10
Coffey won a great opener. When the new Hunt came out to distract Coffey, the rest of Gallus came out to brawl with them. Dennis’ crew attacked after the match but Gallus fought them off.

ILYA DRAGUNOV VIDEO- good
He’s watching footage of his own matches and is disturbed by how out of control he is.

GALLUS BACKSTAGE DURING THE BREAK- meh
They are loud and annoying. Joe Coffey saw Rampage Brown and asked him for a rematch.

DAVE MASTIFF vs. SAM GRADWELL- 4.75/10
Gradwell won clean, which pleasantly surprised me.

AOIFE VALKYRIE VIDEO PACKAGE/PROMO- meh

EMILIA MCKENZIE VIDEO PACKAGE/PROMO- fine
She’s ready for the next step in her career and she wants to make a name for herself.

DANI LUNA vs. JINNY (w/Joseph Conners)- 4/10
Jinny won after a distraction by Conners and a freakin' Rainmaker Capo-kick!

POST-MATCH SEGMENT- fine
Jinny attacked Luna while Conners taunted her. Mark Andrews & “Flash” Morgan Webster came out to make the save.

EARLIER THIS WEEK, AMIR JORDAN BURSTS INTO SID SCALA’S OFFICE WHILE SID IS GIVING AN INTERVIEW- fine
Fortunately, the interview was about Amir’s main event match against Kenny Williams last week. Amir wants to know if he has been granted a rematch. Sid says that Kenny has a greed to a rematch if 1) it’s no DQs and 2) the loser agrees to leave NXT UK. Amir was willing to take the risk and determined not to lose.

ROHAN RAJA PROMO- dull
He wrestles Teoman next week. We learned nothing interesting or useful about him.

TEOMAN PROMO- a little better than Raja’s, but not really

Next week we’re getting Dennis’ crew vs. Gallus as well as Aoife Valkyrie vs. Meiko Satomura.

MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN vs. NOAM DAR & SHA SAMUELS- 7/10
Moustache Mountain win clean.


A fine episode of NXT UK.
