DECISION.

>> YOU MUST WITHSTAND YOUR

OPPONENTS UNTIL THE VERY LAST

SECOND.

>> AT THE LAST SECOND, LITERALLY

BAYLEY, FOUND A WAY.

>> 30 MINUTES MIGHT AS WELL BE

AN ETERNITY.

>> THERE'S NO WAY HE HANGS ON

FOR TWO MORE MINUTES.

>> BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO

PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN.

>> YOU GOT TO REACH WAY DOWN IN

THERE.

YOU GOT A MINUTE LEFT.

>> TO ENDURE THE CHALLENGE, THEY

WILL ESTABLISH AN ONGOING

LEGACY.

>> THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME

TRUE FOR SHAWN MICHAELS.

>> THAT MATCH INSPIRED A WHOLE

GENERATION.

THAT'S WHY I GET IN THE RING.

I WANT TO INSPIRE PEOPLE BUT

THEN THERE'S PEOPLE LIKE JORDAN

DEVLIN THAT TRIES TO INJURE

PEOPLE.

>> OH, MY LORD.

STOP THE MATCH.

THE IRISH ACE.

YOU MUST'VE LOST YOUR MIND.

>> TONIGHT, THE FIRST-EVER

IRONMAN MATCH ON NXT UK.

>> THIS GOLDEN AGE OF

BRITISH SPORT ENTERTAINMENT

CONTINUES HERE AT THE STAGE OF

THE ART BT SPORTS STUDIOS IN

LONDON.

WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO NXT UK.

ANDY SHEPHERD HERE CALLING THE

ACTION WITH NIGEL MCGUINNESS AND

TONIGHT, WE WILL WITNESS A FIRST

ON THIS BRAND.

AN IRONMAN MATCH.

WHO CAN SCORE THE MOST DECISION

IN 30 MINUTES?

WE'LL FIND OUT AS THE IRISH ACE,

JORDAN DEVLIN TAKES ON THE

FORMER HERITAGE CUP CHAMPION,

A-KID.

ALSO TONIGHT, WE WILL SEE THE

DEBUT OF DAVE MASTIFF AND JACK

STARTZ AS A TAG TEAM.

>> BUT WE BEGIN TONIGHT EARLY

WITH AN ESTABLISHED COMPETITOR

IN THE WOMEN'S DIVISION WITH

ADDED INCENTIVE IN THE MATCH.

[XIA BROOKSIDE'S MUSIC] [BELL

RINGS] >> THE FOLLOWING CONTEST

IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL.

INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM

LIVERPOOL ENGLAND, XIA

BROOKSIDE.

>> WHAT DOES THE

SECOND-GENERATION COMPETITOR

NEED TO DO TO STEP OUT OF THE

PERCEIVED SHADOW OF HER FATHER,

THE GREAT ROBBIE BROOKSIDE?

MOST WOULD SAY XIA DID THAT A

LONG TIME AGO BUT NOT HER

OPPONENT TONIGHT WHO SAID, "SHE

ONLY GOT TO NXT UK BECAUSE OF

NEPOTISM."

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THAT

GRINDS ON BROOKSIDE?

>> SOMEWHAT.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT THE FIRST

TIME THAT'S BEEN LEVELED AGAINST

BROOKSIDE BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY,

BROOKSIDE DID DO ANYTHING SHE

COULD TO HIDE HER ASPIRATION

FROM HER FATHER EARLY IN HER

CAREER.

ONCE HE FOUND OUT, HE DID

EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE SURE

BROOKSIDE EARNED ALL SHE COULD

WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM HIM.

SEE THERE, THE SMILE ON THE FACE

OF BROOKSIDE.

DOESN'T SEEM TOO PERTURBED THUS

FAR.

>> YOU MAY WELL BE RIGHT, NIGEL

BUT LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN

THE BELL RINGS.

[BLAIR DAVENPORT MUSIC PLAYS] >>

AND HER OPPONENT FROM

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, BLAIR

DAVENPORT.

>> A WELL-TRAVELED COMPETITOR

WHO BELIEVES SHE WAS SOUGHT OUT

BY GENERAL MANAGER, JOHNNY

SAINT, AFTER PROVING HERSELF AS

ONE OF THE HOTTEST COMMODITIES

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS

ENTERTAINMENT.

NIGEL, DAVENPORT NOW NEEDS TO

PROVE HER WORTH HERE IN NXT UK.

>> THAT IS EXACTLY WHY DAVENPORT

HAS TARGETED AN ESTABLISHED STAR

LIKE XIA BROOKSIDE WITH HER

INTENDED INSULT.

TO BE FAIR, ANDY, MORALITY

ASIDE, NOT A BAD STRATEGY TO TRY

AND GET INSIDE THE HEAD OF

BROOKSIDE.

AS WE'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, NOT

THE FIRST TIME BROOKSIDE HAS

HEARD THAT.

THE QUESTION IS AS THIS MATCH

CONTINUES, WILL IT START TO

GRIND ON HER MORE?

>> NIGEL, TO YOUR POINT, SOMEONE

WOULD SAY XIA HAS HAD A HARDER

ROAD THAN MOST TO GET HERE TO

NXT UK.

>> THERE'S PROBABLY SOMETHING TO

THAT.

THROUGHOUT HER CHILDHOOD, HER

SCHOOLING, BROOKSIDE NOW WITH A

VERY FOCUSED LOOK AT DAVENPORT.

SUFFERED FROM- >> RING THE BELL.

>> -BULLIES ON A NUMBER OF

TIMES.

[BELL RINGS] >> THAT BEING

BROOKSIDE.

ONCE ACTUALLY TOOK DOWN A BULLY

WHO WAS THREE YEARS OLDER THAN

HER WITH A WRISTLOCK.

OF COURSE, HE GOT UP AND CHINNED

HER, BUT THAT'S BEYOND THE

POINT.

>> SHE MAY TRY AND TAKE DOWN

WHAT SOME WOULD CALL A BULLY,

BLAIR DAVENPORT.

YOU SEE THE FAR ALREADY INSIDE

BROOKSIDE.

LOOK, NIGEL, LET'S REMEMBER

THESE TWO CLASHED RECENTLY WHEN

MEIKO SATOMURA, THE NXT UK

WOMEN'S CHAMPION SEEMED TO OFFER

THE ENTIRE LOCKER ROOM

OPPORTUNITY IF THEY COULD PROVE

THEIR WORTH.

NIGEL, COULD ONE OF THESE TWO BE

A FUTURE CONTENDER FOR SATOMURA?

>> OH, VERY MUCH SO.

EVER SINCE HER DEBUT ON THE

BRAND, XIA BROOKSIDE HAS BEEN

LOOKING FOR THAT ELUSIVE NXT UK

WOMEN'S TITLE OPPORTUNITY, AND

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY BLAIR

DAVENPORT MOVED FROM JAPAN TO

THE UK FOR SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> SOME OF THEM QUESTIONED

WHETHER DEVONPORT EVEN REALLY

BELIEVES WHAT SHE HAS SAID OR

HAS SHE PERHAPS SINGLED OUT XIA,

TRIED TO GET INTO HER HEAD

BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT A SCOUT

THIS WOULD BE TO TAKE OUT ONE OF

THE MOST POPULAR COMPETITORS ON

NXT UK?

>> OOH.

I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY WHY

DAVENPORT DID IT.

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF

BROOKSIDE AND DAVENPORT'S PATHS

HAD CROSSED IN JAPAN.

DAVENPORT KNOWS THE DUES THAT

BROOKSIDE HAS PAID BUT PERHAPS

ALSO KNOWS THAT SHE'S A LITTLE

BIT SENSITIVE.

>> LOOK AT THIS, BROOKSIDE

TAKING DOWN DAVENPORT.

WE'VE SEEN THE TECHNICALLY SOUND

SKILLS OF BROOKSIDE WHO GOES FOR

A COVER.

KICK OUT.

BROOKSIDE KEEPS THE PRESSURE ON

DROPKICK LEVELS.

BLAIR DAVENPORT-- >> A GOOD

START FOR BROOKSIDE HAS BEEN

ABLE TO CONTROL HER EMOTIONS.

MONKEY FLIP KEEPS THE MATCH

GOING IN HER FAVOR.

>> SOME REAL MATURITY SHOW HERE

FROM XIA BROOKSIDE WHO COMES

FORWARD WITH THE MONKEY FLIP

ONCE AGAIN BUT DAVENPORT PUTS

HER ON THE CANVAS.

OH.

OH, NOW AND A BASEMENT DROPKICK

FROM BLAIR DAVENPORT.

BROOKSIDE FELT THAT ONE.

>> COME ON, LET'S GET BACK IN

THE RING.

>> I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE

DROPKICK ON THE FALL TO THE

OUTSIDE THAT CAUSED THE MAJORITY

OF THE DAMAGE.

OH, RIGHT.

THAT CERTAINLY DIDN'T HELP.

OH DEAR, YOU CAN HEAR BROOKSIDE

SCREAMING OUT IN AGONY.

>> DAVENPORT COULD NO DOUBT FAIL

TO SHOW BROOKSIDE EXACTLY WHERE

SHE WANTS HER.

LOOK AT THIS, BLAIR DAVENPORT

NOW TRYING TO STALK DOWN

BROOKSIDE BUT BROOKSIDE'S

FIGHTING.

NOW, IT'S BLAIR DAVENPORT WHO

CONTINUES TO GRIND DOWN XIA

BROOKSIDE.

NIGEL, SOMEONE SAID THAT THERE'S

A CHIP ON THE SHOULDER OF BLAIR

DAVENPORT WHO BELIEVES- SOME

BELIEVES SHE HAS TO PROVE

HERSELF HERE AT NXT UK.

BLAIR BELIEVES SHE'S ALREADY

PROVED HERSELF.

>> WELL, THERE COULD BE

SOMETHING TO THAT, BUT RIGHT NOW

IT'S THE LEFT SHOULDER OF

BROOKSIDE THAT'S BEING ATTACKED

WITH A CHIN BAR FROM BLAIR

DAVENPORT.

>> BROOKSIDE IS FIGHTING BUT

AGAIN IT'S DAVENPORT WHO

CONTINUES TO STRIKE DOWN.

LOOK AT THIS, BROOKSIDE BLOCKS.

OH, AND NOW, THE STRIKES COMING

FORWARD FROM XIA BROOKSIDE.

WE'VE SEEN THE FIRE INSIDE XIA

BROOKSIDE IN RECENT MONTHS WHO

GOES UP AND TAKES DOWN

DAVENPORT.

BROOKSIDE NOW CHANGING THE

MOMENTUM OF THIS MATCH-UP.

>> THE PACE IS PICKING UP NOW.

BROOKSIDE BACK ON THE OFFENSE.

>> WE KNOW XIA BROOKSIDE IS IN

GREAT CONDITION.

OH, SHE COMES WITH DOUBLE KNEES

TO THE BACK.

NOW, THAT CONNECTED.

BROOKSIDE FOLLOWS UP,

NECKBREAKER.

THIS COULD BE IT.

XIA BROOKSIDE LOOKS TO TAKE OUT

DAVENPORT.

KICK OUT.

XIA BROOKSIDE, YOU SEE THAT LOOK

ON HER FACE.

SHE THOUGHT THAT MAY WELL HAVE

BEEN IT.

>> WELL, SHE HAS TO KEEP PUSHING

FORWARD NOW WHILE SHE HAS THE

ADVANTAGE.

>> DAVENPORT'S SO EXPERIENCED IN

SO MANY PHYSICAL CONTESTS IN HER

CAREER.

TRYING TO MAKE THIS CONTEST INTO

A VERY PHYSICAL ONE HERE BUT

LOOK AT THIS.

LOOK AT THE AGILITY AND

QUICKNESS OF XIA BROOKSIDE.

OH, WOW.

>> BEAUTIFUL EVASION BUT

DAVENPORT, NOT IMPRESSED.

HAVE A BOOT TO THE JAW FOR YOUR

TROUBLES.

>> NOW, THE AGILITY OF BLAIR

DAVENPORT.

>> OH.

>> A MASSIVE DROPKICK OFF THE

ROPES.

DAVENPORT NOW, IT'S HER TURN TO

PILE ON THE PRESSURE.

THAT WAS VICIOUS.

>> AND AGAIN, THE KNEE STRIKES

THAT BLAIR DAVENPORT IS KNOWN

FOR.

WE MIGHT SEE ANOTHER.

>> OH, HANG ON.

DAVENPORT, SHE LOOKS AT-- OH.

>> OOH.

>> ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE STRIKE.

COVER, COUNT.

DAVENPORT WINS.

[BELL RINGS] >> HERE IS YOUR

WINNER, BLAIR DAVENPORT.

[BLAIR DAVENPORT'S MUSIC] >>

DAVENPORT CAME HERE TO MAKE A

POINT.

SHE'S CERTAINLY DONE THAT BY

TAKING THE SCALP OF XIA

BROOKSIDE.

>> AN IMPRESSIVE HARD-FOUGHT

VICTORY FOR DAVENPORT.

WE TAKE A LOOK BACK NOW, THE

CLOSING MOMENTS OF THE MATCH.

AS I MENTIONED, DAVENPORT KNOWN

FOR HER KNEE STRIKES.

HERE, THE FIRST ON THE ROPES AND

THEN NO WAY TO PROTECT HERSELF,

THE DRIVING KNEE TO THE SIDE OF

THE JAW.

TAKING OUT BROOKSIDE AND

SECURING THE VICTORY.

BLAIR DAVENPORT IS A FORCE TO BE

RECKONED WITH.

>> OH, HANG ON.

DAVENPORT MAY NOT BE DONE HERE.

THIS IS UNCALLED FOR.

OH.

>> BLAIR DAVENPORT ADDING AN

EXCLAMATION POINT TO HER VICTORY

IN A HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE WOMEN'S

DIVISION.

>> IT WAS A COMBUSTIBLE TAG TEAM

MAIN EVENT LAST WEEK WHERE

MUSTACHE MOUNTAIN EARNED A

HARD-FOUGHT VICTORY OVER

SYMBIOSIS.

HOWEVER, THEIR CELEBRATIONS WERE

CUT SHORT WHEN THEY WERE GREETED

BY THE NXT UK TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONS, PRETTY DEADLY.

NOW, LET'S SHOW YOU SOME

EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE OF WHAT WENT

DOWN AFTER THE MATCH.

>> MUSTACHE MOUNTAIN, CONGRATS

ON THE WIN.

YOU MUST BE VERY PLEASED.

>> YES, VERY.

>> ABSOLUTELY, JUST ACTUALLY TO

GET-- >> THAT WAS-- OH, WE WERE

SO IMPRESSED.

WELL DONE.

>> WELL DONE.

>> IT'S OUR BIGGEST FANS.

>> WE WERE SO IMPRESSED.

IN FACT, WE WOULD LOVE TO

EMBARRASS THE FANS' BEST TAG

TEAM IN NXT UK.

>> LET'S KICK DOWN THE CABIN AND

INTRODUCE YOU, BOYS, TO THE

PRETTY DEADLY PENTHOUSE.

>> THAT SOUNDS GREAT BUT I'M

SORT OF SPINNING PLATES

[CROSSTALK].

>> OH, HE'S BUSY.

>> OH, NO, HERITAGE CUP WILL--

COME ON.

I THINK WE CAN FIND THE TIME,

RIGHT?

>> OKAY, OKAY.

>> YES, OKAY.

LET'S DO IT THEN.

MUSTACHE MOUNTAIN VERSUS

LET'S DO THIS.

NOW?

YOU WANT TO GO?

SHOULD WE DO THIS NOW?

>> ON OUR TIME.

SEE YOU IN A BIT.

NICE SIDE PLATES.

WE TURN NOW TO A BUDDING TAG

TEAM LOOKING TO STEP UP THEIRS.

DANNY JONES AND JOSH MORRELL IN

THEIR SECOND MATCH TOGETHER.

[JACK STARZ'S MUSIC PLAYS] [BELL

RINGS] >> THE FOLLOWING IS A

TEAM CONTEST SCHEDULED FOR ONE

FALL.

MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING FROM

LEICESTER, ENGLAND, JACK STARZ.

[DAVE MASTIFF'S MUSIC PLAYS] >>

AND HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER FROM

THE BLACK COUNTRY, ENGLAND

WEIGHING IN AT 322 POUNDS,

"BOMBER" DAVE MASTIFF.

>> WELL, NIGEL, IT MAY BE DANNY

JONES' AND JOSH MORELL'S SECOND

MATCH TOGETHER, IT'S THIS TEAM'S

FIRST MATCH.

I HAVE TO SAY I WOULD NEVER HAVE

PREDICTED THESE TWO ATHLETES

BECOMING A TEAM BUT IT WOULD

SEEM THE BOMBER IS ONE OF THE

MANY WHO HAVE TAKEN NOTE OF

STARZ'S DEDICATION, RESILIENCE,

AND DEVELOPMENT OVER THE YEARS.

TOGETHER, THEY CAN BOTH DOMINATE

THE TAG TEAM DIVISION.

WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT

PERSPECTIVE?

>> WELL, DON'T GET WAY AHEAD OF

YOURSELF, ANDY.

I'M NOT SURE EVEN MASTIFF WOULD

HAVE SUCH HIGH ASPIRATIONS.

I THINK MASTIFF HAD JUST REACHED

THE CROSSROADS IN HIS CAREER

WHERE HE'S REALLY FOUND

INSPIRATION IN YOUNG JACK STARZ.

>> OF COURSE, IT IS A

HOTLY-CONTESTED TAG TEAM

DIVISION HERE AT NXT UK.

YOU JUST FOUND OUT MOUSTACHE

MOUNTAIN, TRENT SEVEN AND TYLER

BATE, WILL BE FACING PRETTY

DEADLY FOR THE TITLE, WHAT

CONTEST THAT WILL BE.

>> MOUSTACHE MOUNTAIN TRYING TO

WIN MANY TITLES THAT HAVE ELUDED

THEM THUS FAR IN THEIR CAREER.

>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TYLER

BATE.

REMEMBER IT WAS JACK STARZ WHO

FACED OFF AGAINST TYLER BATE IN

A HERITAGE CUP CONTEST.

HE EVEN SCHOOL A 4 ON TYLER BATE

BUT HE'S BEEN A BIT DOWN HEATED

SINCE THAT MOMENT.

IS HE BEING HARD ON HIMSELF?

>> OH, ABSOLUTELY.

WE'VE BEEN SEEING SOME GREAT

TECHNICAL TAKEDOWN FROM STARZ.

YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY STARZ

SOMETIMES IS HARD ON HIMSELF.

FOR THE LONGEST TIME GROWING UP,

HE WAS TOLD HE WOULD NEVER BE A

SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT SUPERSTAR.

>> HE CERTAINLY PROVED ALL THOSE

DOUBTERS WRONG.

HE'S ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED

COMPETITORS IN THE LOCKER ROOM,

INDEED DAVE MASTIFF PULLED HIM

TO ONE SIDE AND SAID, "HEY, YOU

ARE A GATEKEEPER TO [INDISTINCT]

IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BE HERE,

THEY'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH YOU."

LITTLE NIP UP THERE.

DANNY JONES LOOKED TO

BREAKTHROUGH BUT AGAIN, STARZ

GOES BACK TO THAT HEADLOCK.

GREAT FUNDAMENTALS HERE FROM

JACK STARZ.

OH.

>> OH.

>> STARZ ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO

USE THAT POWER BUT OH, FINALLY

GETS DOWN THE TALL AND RANGY

DANNY JONES.

NOW, GOES OVER.

OH, HOW ABOUT THAT ELUSIVE

STUFF.

INNOVATIVE COVER, [INDISTINCT]

WIN.

KICKOUT.

>> BEAUTIFUL DIVE THROUGH,

SUPERMAN PIN.

NOT ENOUGH TO BEAT THE DRAGON

HEART BUT ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE

ADVANTAGE.

>> A TAG MADE.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT JACK

STARZ DOES HAVE THE TAG TEAM

CONTEST UNDER HIS BELT.

REMEMBER, HE FACED PRETTY DEADLY

ALONGSIDE NATHAN FRAZER.

TAG, BUT NOW, IT'S DAVE MASTIFF

IN THE RING.

JOSH MORRELL, THE FIRECRACKER OF

A COMPETITOR LOOKS TO TAKE DOWN

THE BIG MAN BUT THAT'S GOING TO

BE EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

>> NOT GOING TO GET VERY FAR

WITH AN IRISH WHIP AGAINST

MASTIFF.

>> OH.

>> WOW.

>> HOW ABOUT THAT, NIGEL?

BLINK AND YOU MISS IT BUT

MASTIFF'S STILL-- OH, HANG ON A

MINUTE THOUGH.

OH.

JOSH MORRELL QUICK ON HIS FEET.

NOT THE QUICKEST FEET BECAUSE WE

THOUGHT HE COULD SUPLEX MASTIFF

BUT HOW ABOUT THIS FOR TEAMWORK.

STARZ SENT MORRELL BACK INSIDE

THE SQUARED CIRCLE.

>> NOT GIVING MORRELL MUCH

CHANCE TO RECUPERATE ON THE

OUTSIDE.

>> TAG.

>> NOW WITH A TAG, IN COMES JACK

STARZ.

LET'S SEE IF THIS NEW TEAM HAVE

GOT A DOUBLE-TEAM MANEUVER.

>> OH.

>> WHOA.

>> MORRELL MAY HAVE TOUCHED THE

LIGHTS THERE.

HANG ON, STARZ GOES TO COVER.

END THIS ONE, KICK OUT.

>> NICE DOUBLE BACKDROP AND TO

YOUR POINT, ANDY, CERTAINLY

MORRELL GOT SOME HEIGHT WITH IT.

>> NOW STARZ, USING HIS POWER

TRYING TO PICK UP MORRELL BUT

MORRELL INTO A CROSSBODY.

COVERS STARZ, KICK OUT.

NOW MORRELL, QUICKLY

[INDISTINCT].

LOOKS FOR THE TAG.

IN COMES DANNY JONES.

LOOK AT THE HEIGHT THAT DANNY

JONES HAS.

BIG ADVANTAGE HERE, BUT OH,

STARZ MAY WELL BE JUST STRONGER.

NOW JONES LOOKS TO USE THAT

LEVERAGE WITH A BACKSLIDE BUT

STARZ SWITCHES AROUND.

JONES STILL IN CONTROL HERE.

OH, WOW.

>> OH, THAT KICK LANDED.

>> YES, STARZ FELT THAT ONE, AND

NOW, HE'S BEING MANHANDLED BY

DANNY JONES.

THIS WILL BE A HUGE VICTORY TO

JOSH MORRELL AND DANNY JONES.

HANG ON.

OH, BOOT TO THE FACE LAYS DOWN

STARZ.

JONES IS FIRING UP HERE.

>> JONES IS USING HIS REACH

ADVANTAGE AGAINST JACK STARZ.

>> OH, TAG.

>> STRIKES FROM EVERY ANGLE.

>> AND THEY'RE BEGINNING TO

ISOLATE JACK STARZ.

CUTTING OFF THE RING.

STARZ SENT FLYING.

A BEAUTIFUL DROPKICK.

>> OH.

>> STARZ IS IN TROUBLE HERE AS

MORRELL LOOKS TO FINISH THIS

ONE.

KICK OUT.

>> JACK STARZ IS DOOMED, ANDY.

I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS WHERE HE

IS RIGHT NOW.

>> COME ON, JACK.

COME ON, JACK.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

>> YOU CAN HEAR DAVE MASTIFF

OVER THERE IN THE CORNER WILLING

ON JACK STARZ.

"COME ON JACK, GET BACK IN THIS

ONE."

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT STARZ IS

DOING.

>> YES, WE KNOW STARZ HAS GOT

ONE OF THE BIGGEST HEARTS ON

THIS ROSTER.

HE JUST ATE A SLAM THERE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO ISOLATE ONE

OF MASTIFF OR STARZ, YOU WOULD

PICK STARZ.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JONES AND

MORRELL ARE DOING.

MORRELL LOOKS TO BE FLASHY BUT

IT DIDN'T PAY OFF.

>> OH.

>> NOW, STARZ WITH AN

OPPORTUNITY.

BIG EUROPEAN UPPERCUT ROCKS

MORRELL BUT HE'S STILL STANDING.

STARZ BEGINNING TO FIGHT HERE

BUT HE NEEDS TO MAKE A TAG.

DUMPS MORRELL.

STARZ NEAR MASTIFF AND HE GETS

THE TAG.

HERE COMES 322 POUNDS OF THE

BOMBER.

>> OH, LOOK AT MASTIFF MOVE AND

MOW DOWN MORRELL.

>> SENT HIM UP, UP AND OVER.

MASTIFF, BIG CLOTHESLINE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO TASTE ONE OF

THOSE FOR BREAKFAST BUT THAT'S

EXACTLY WHAT MORRELL JUST GOT.

TAG.

ROLL THROUGH.

LOOK AT THE AGILITY OF DAVE

MASTIFF.

STARZ THOUGH, THE LEGAL

COMPETITOR.

>> OH.

>> UTILIZING THE FIVE-COUNT.

GREAT TAG TEAM TACTICS FROM THE

DEBUT TEAM OF STARZ AND MASTIFF.

>> NOW, STARZ IS THE LEGAL MAN.

>> OH, WOW.

MORRELL JUST DUMPED IN THE

CORNER AND STARZ USING HIS HEAD.

TAKES OUT THE TAG OPTION OF

DANNY JONES.

HEAD OF STEAM AND NOW MASTIFF IS

THE LEGAL COMPETITOR ONCE AGAIN.

>> OH, WAIT A SECOND.

>> OH, NO.

>> HERE HE COMES.

>> OH, INTO THE VOID.

THAT'S A BLACK HOLE.

>> COVER.

>> RING THE BELL.

[BELL RINGS] >> THEY PICK UP A

WIN.

[DAVE MASTIFF'S MUSIC PLAYS] >>

HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS THE TEAM

OF JACK STARZ AND DAVE MASTIFF.

>> WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE DEBUT FROM

THE TEAM OF DAVE MASTIFF AND

JACK STARZ.

>> IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE SAW

THEM TOGETHER BUT THE

INSPIRATION OF DAVE MASTIFF AS

WE TAKE A LOOK BACK NOW, THE

CLOSING MOMENTS OF THE MATCH, IT

WOULD BE JACK STARZ SETTING UP

THE VICTORY WITH THIS DIVING

HEADBUTT IN THE CORNER AND THEN

MASTIFF, THE BULK OF A MADMAN,

DRIVING INTO THE VOID OF MORRELL

AND IT WAS ACADEMIC.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> THREE.

RING THE BELL.

>> IT'S A SUCCESSFUL START TO

THIS NEW PARTNERSHIP.

HOW FAR CAN MASTIFF AND STARZ GO

IN THIS COMPETITIVE TAG TEAM

DIVISION?

THAT IS TO BE SEEN BUT NIGEL, WE

ARE ABOUT TO SEE THIS GRAND

FIRST-EVER IRON MAN MATCH.

A LOT OF VITRIOL BETWEEN THE

TWO.

EXPECT AN INSTANT CLASSIC NEXT

ON NXT UK.

>> I'M GETTING MY MAKEUP DONE

BECAUSE I HAVE A PHOTOSHOOT.

I'M DOING HOT SUPERSTARS THINGS.

[CROSSTALK] >> YOU'RE STILL

HERE?

LOOK AT YOU HOGGING YOUR CAMERA

CREW, RIDING THAT WAVE OF

SELF-IMPORTANCE BECAUSE YOU HAD

ONE TITLE SHOT.

>> [INDISTINCT] >> THAT TITLE

SHOT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE.

[CROSSTALK] >> HEY, NO.

NO.

>> PLEASE GET OUT.

[CROSSTALK] >> YOU'RE DONE.

YOU'RE DONE.

[MUSIC] >> TENSIONS CLEARLY

ESCALATED EARLIER TODAY BETWEEN

NINA SAMUELS AND AMALE BUT NOW

LET'S FIND OUT WHICH CONTEST

WILL COME INTO NEXT WEEK'S

HERITAGE CUP NUMBER ONE

CONTENDER TOURNAMENT.

>> WHAT DOES THE HERITAGE CUP

MEAN TO ME?

MINE.

IT MEANS IT'S MINE.

THESE ROUNDS MATCHES HAVE BECOME

SYNONYMOUS WITH SUPERNOVA 11 SO

I FIND THAT OFFENSIVE THAT MARK

ANDREWS THINKS HE CAN STEP TO ME

AT MY RANK, MY MATCH.

>> ME AND NOAM, WE GO WAY BACK.

ALL THROUGHOUT OUR TEENAGE

YEARS, WE CROSSED PATHS, WE

BUTTED HEADS IN THE RING BUT THE

FIRST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER IN A

WWE RING AND ONE-ON-ONE, WE BOTH

LEFT THE MATCH ON STRETCHERS.

>> TWO GREAT SUPERSTARS WENT

OUT, THEY GAVE IT THEIR ALL.

DOUBLE THUMBS UP.

>> QUADRUPLE THUMBS.

>> THE TRUTH IS IT DOESN'T

MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN

IN THE RING WITH NOAM BECAUSE

THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE

DIFFERENT.

>> ANDREWS HAS TOO MANY OTHER

THINGS GOING ON.

SUBCULTURE, HIS BAND,

SKATEBOARDING, BOUNCY CASTLES,

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

ANDREWS AFTER WHAT I DID TO YOU

IN THAT RING, I THINK YOU SHOULD

SERIOUSLY CONSIDER FOCUSING ON

YOUR OTHER ENDEAVORS.

>> I MIGHT JUST BE ONE MAN BUT I

REPRESENT MANY.

I'M STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM IN

THIS TOURNAMENT WITH NOAM DAR.

I'M GOING TO FIGHT MY WAY TO THE

TOP AND WHEN I FACE TYLER BATE,

I'M GOING TO BRING THAT HERITAGE

CUP HOME TO THE SUBCULTURE.

[MUSIC]

>> WHAT A RETURN OF

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN.

>> THE BOSS- >> WAIT A MINUTE.

BACKSTABBER BY BANKS TO THE

CHAMPION.

>> -IS BACK.

TOMORROW NIGHT.

IS BIANCA BELAIR'S CHAMPIONSHIP

REIGN IN THE SIGHTS OF THE

VINDICTIVE SASHA BANKS?

AND-- >> ROMAN REIGNS, YOU'RE

AFRAID TO FIGHT ME BECAUSE OF

HOW I'LL MAKE YOU LOOK.

>> AN OPPORTUNISTIC GIANT SCENE

THAT TURNED THE TABLE ON THE

UNIVERSAL CHAMPION.

>> CENA HAS GOT THE CONTRACT FOR

SUMMERSLAM.

C-E-N-A, CLEARLY ON THAT

CONTRACT.

>> WITH THEIR BLOCKBUSTER

SUMMERSLAM MAIN EVENT SET.

>> REIGNS FORCED TO DEFEND THE

UNIVERSAL TITLE AGAINST CENA.

>> HOW WILL THE FURIOUS ROMAN

REIGNS REACT?

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN.

LIVE TOMORROW NIGHT,

EIGHT-SEVEN-CENTRAL, ONLY ON

FOX.

[MUSIC] >> JINNY, YOU HAD THE

CHANCE TO TAKE ME ON,

ONE-ON-ONE.

NOW, I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE IT'S

ONE-ON-ONE AND YOU WON'T HAVE

YOUR LITTLE CANARY, JOSEPH

CONNORS, GIVING YOU EARLY SIGNS

OF DANGER BEFORE IT HAS THE

CHANCE TO STRIKE.

WHEN YOU STARTED THIS, YOU SAID

THAT I WOULDN'T SURVIVE BUT

EVENTUALLY, EVERYONE FEEDS THE

BIRDS.

[MUSIC]

>> WE'RE ROLLING.

>> COME, WATCH THIS.

WATCH THIS.

MEIKO.

MEIKO.

MEIKO.

THIS IS ALL SO LOVELY BUT

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN TEACH

HER OR HER THAT WILL HELP THEM

I'M WIRED DIFFERENTLY.

>> STEVIE TURNER TAKING MEIKO

SATOMURA'S CHALLENGE STEPPING IT

UP FOR THE NXT UK WOMEN'S

CHAMPION.

AFTER NINA SAMUELS DID THE SAME

THING TO AMALE EARLIER TONIGHT,

NXT UK GENERAL MANAGER JOHNNY

SAINT HAS BOOKED THE FRENCH

HOPE, NXT UK'S LEADING LADY IN A

ONE-ON-ONE COMPETITION TO SETTLE

THEIR DIFFERENCES NEXT WEEK ON

NXT UK.

>> NIGEL, LET'S NOT FORGET ALSO

FROM EARLIER TODAY WHEN FLASH

MORGAN WEBSTER SLAPPED WOLFGANG

SQUARE IN THE FACE.

THE MODFATHER LOOKS LIKE HIS

APPEAL HAS BEEN ANSWERED AND IS

NOW OFFICIAL.

THE KING OF THE MODS WILL

COMPETE WITH THE UNTAMABLE

GLASWEGIAN WOLFGANG NEXT WEEK ON

NXT UK.

>> WITH THAT, IT IS NOW TIME FOR

A MATCH I CAN'T BELIEVE I GET

PAID TO CALL.

A MATCH I'D WILLINGLY PAY JUST

TO SEE.

[BELL RINGS] >> THE FOLLOWING

CONTEST IS A 30-MINUTE IRON MAN

MATCH.

INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM MADRID,

SPAIN, WEIGHING IN AT 165

POUNDS, A-KID.

>> THERE IS A FOCUSED LOOK ON

THE FACE OF A-KID AND AFTER

BEING PLACED ON THE SIDELINES BY

HIS OPPONENT TONIGHT, PROBABLY

ONE OF THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE

MOMENTS I CAN REMEMBER ON THIS

BRAND, THE FORMER HERITAGE CUP

CHAMPION HAS SAID HE IS

RELISHING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO

PUNISH DEVLIN TONIGHT.

NIGEL, WILL A-KID NEED TO

CONTROL THOSE EMOTIONS?

>> I'VE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH

A-KID'S MATURITY THUS FAR.

IT HELPED HIM BECOME THE

FIRST-EVER HERITAGE CUP CHAMPION

BUT HIS OPPONENT TONIGHT HAS AN

UNCANNY ABILITY TO BOTH IRRITATE

AND THEN CAPITALIZE ON IT.

>> IRON MAN MATCH RULES ARE AS

FOLLOWS.

THERE WILL BE A 30-MINUTE TIME

LIMIT.

THE SUPERSTAR WITH THE MOST

DECISIONS AFTER THE TIME EXPIRES

IS DECLARED THE WINNER AND IF

TIED AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE MATCH

GOES TO SUDDEN DEATH WHERE THE

FIRST DECISION WINS.

A BIG QUESTION REMAINS ABOUT

THAT RIGHT KNEE OF A-KID.

HE SAID HE'S 100%.

WE'LL FIND OUT TONIGHT IF THAT

IS TRUE.

>> WE JUST SAW A-KID TRYING TO

TEST THE KNEE.

GET LIMBER.

HERE'S THE MAN WHO WILL TEST IT.

[JORDAN DEVLIN MUSIC PLAYS] >>

AND HIS OPPONENT FROM BRAY,

COUNTY WICKLOW, IRELAND,

WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS, THE

IRISH ACE, JORDAN DEVLIN.

>> WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE

BEST PERFORMERS IN THIS INDUSTRY

AND YOU CANNOT DENY HOW MUCH OF

A FIGHTING CHAMPION JORDAN

DEVLIN WAS WHILE WEARING THE

CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE, BUT DEVIN

ALSO HAS AN EGO TO MATCH ALL

THOSE ACCOLADES AND NIGEL, WHAT

HE DID TO A-KID LAST MONTH WAS

COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR.

>> THERE'S NO DOUBT HE TOOK A

LIBERTY FOR SURE.

SOMETIMES WHEN A COMPETITOR

FEELS THREATENED, HE WILL DO

THAT.

I THINK DEVIN STILL FELT THE

STING OF LOSING THE NXT

CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE AND A-KID

CAUGHT THE FALLOUT.

THE POINT IS I DON'T THINK

DEVLIN WILL BE DONE WITH THAT.

>> DEVLIN SAID IN THE LEAD-UP TO

THIS MATCHUP THAT A-KID'S CAREER

WAS ON THE LINE.

HE'S NOT EVEN LOOKING TO BEAT

A-KID HERE.

HE'S LOOKING TO PUT ON THE

SIDELINES ONCE AGAIN AND PERHAPS

FOR LONGER THIS TIME.

>> NO DOUBT ONE OF THE TOP

PERFORMERS ON THE BRAND.

BOTH HE AND A-KID PICKED EARLY

BY WWE HALL OF FAMER SHAWN

MICHAELS AS THE TWO COMPETITORS

TO WATCH ON THE RED AND BLACK

BRAND.

>> OF COURSE, SHAWN MICHAELS,

ONE OF THE COMPETITORS WHO MADE

HISTORY IN AN IRON MAN MATCH,

AND YOU'VE GOT TO THINK BOTH

DEVLIN AND A-KID ARE RELISHING

THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WALK IN THE

FOOTSTEPS OF COMPETITORS LIKE

SHAWN, LIKE BRET HART WHO THEY

LOOK UP TO.

>> RING THE BELL.

[BELL RINGS] >> NIGEL WE'VE GOT

TO TALK ABOUT STRATEGY IN THIS

ONE.

HERE WE GO.

THIS IRON MAN MATCH KICKS OFF.

NIGEL, WHAT IS THE STRATEGY FOR

BOTH THESE COMPETITORS?

>> WITH A 30-MINUTE TIME LIMIT,

YOU GOT TO BE CAUTIOUS EARLY ON

IN THE MATCHUP.

I DID HAVE A CHANCE, HOWEVER, TO

TALK TO TRIPLE H EARLIER THIS

WEEK WHO COMPETED AGAINST THE

ROCK IN AN IRON MAN MATCH EARLY

2000S WENT SIX FIVE IN THAT ONE,

HE SAID THE MATCH WITH BRETT AND

WITH SHAWN STARTED OFF VERY

CAUTIOUSLY BECAUSE OF THEIR

HISTORY BUT WITH THE VITRIOL

BETWEEN A-KID AND DEVLIN EXPECT

THIS ONE TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL

FOR A LOT OF FALLS AND EXPLOSIVE

STUFF.

>> DOWN GOES A-KID AND A-KID

SWITCHES AROUND AND NIGEL, WE'VE

ALREADY SEEN DEVLIN THOSE LITTLE

KICKS TRYING TO AIM TOWARDS THE

KNEE, ALREADY LOOKING TO PERHAPS

TARGET THAT KNEE EARLY BUT IT'S

THE GROUND GAME HERE AS A-KID

NIPS UP AND TAKES DOWN DEVLIN.

THE SMILE ON THE FACE OF A-KID.

HE MUST BE FEELING LIKE HE WANTS

REDEMPTION HERE, IT'S NOT BEING

PUT ON THE SIDELINES.

>> A LOT OF EGO, A LOT OF PRIDE

IN THIS MATCHUP.

NICE WRISTLOCK, TAKING DOWN

THE IRISH ACE.

>> NIGEL, THE MATCH HAS BEEN

MADE OFFICIAL.

MUSTACHE MOUNTAIN VERSUS PRETTY

DEADLY FOR THE NXT UK TAG TEAM

TITLES WILL HAPPEN IN TWO WEEKS'

TIME.

WHAT A CONTEST THAT WILL BE, BUT

NIGEL, YOU SAID THAT THEY'RE

OPENING THIS CONTEST WHAT A

CONTEST AND IRON MAN MATCH IS

HERE IN NXT UK.

>> YES, CERTAINLY HAS THE

POTENTIAL TO BE AN INSTANT

CLASSIC WITH THESE TWO

COMPETITORS IN THE RING.

>> SOME PEOPLE FILLING OUT THE

PROCESS HERE IN THE EARLY STAGES

OF THIS CONTEST.

A-KID, DOWN TO THE CANVAS.

I THINK BOTH COMPETITORS HERE

ARE TRYING TO CONTROL THEIR

EMOTIONS.

IF YOU LET YOUR EMOTIONS GET THE

BETTER OF YOU CERTAINLY EARLIER

IN THE MATCH, AS I SAID, IN

REGARDS TO A-KID, YOU CAN GET

BLOWN UP EARLY AND THAT COULD

REALLY COST YOU.

>> WHOA, DROP KICK.

WHOA, BUT NIGEL, TO THAT POINT,

A MISTAKE EARLY ON CAN SEE YOU

BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL BUT-- >>

[INDISTINCT] YOU GET BACK IN

HERE NOW, ALL RIGHT?

LET'S GO BACK TO THE RING.

>> JORDAN DEVLIN RETREATS TO THE

OUTSIDE.

HE'S JUST TRYING TO BREAK THE

MOMENTUM THAT A-KID WAS

BUILDING.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T WIN THIS

MATCH EARLY ON BUT YOU CERTAINLY

CAN LOSE IT BECAUSE A-KID, HIS

EXPERIENCE IN HERITAGE CUP

MATCHES WILL GIVE HIM SOME

ADVANTAGE IN THIS STYLE OF

MATCH.

>> DEVLIN SAID THERE WAS NO

BETTER MATCH MADE FOR SOMEONE

LIKE HIM THAN AN IRON MAN MATCH.

DO YOU GIVE AN ADVANTAGE TO

EITHER COMPETITOR IN THIS STYLE

OF CONTEST?

>> NO, I REALLY DON'T TO BE

HONEST WITH YOU, BOTH OF THESE

COMPETITORS HAVE HAD

CONSIDERABLE LONG MATCHES.

REMEMBER TYLER BATE AGAINST

JORDAN DEVLIN, TAKEOVER

BLACKPOOL 2?

>> LOOK AT THAT, DEVLIN ONCE

AGAIN JUST TRYING TO KICK THAT

KNEE.

WE QUESTIONED WHAT KIND OF SHAPE

IT WAS IN.

HE'S MEDICALLY CLEAR BUT NIGEL,

YOU KNOW THAT MEDICALLY CLEAR

AND BEING 100% CAN BE TWO VERY

DIFFERENT THINGS?

>> YES, INDEED.

EVEN IF YOU ARE PHYSICALLY 100%,

MENTALLY YOU GOT TO QUESTION

WHERE A-KID IS.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THERE

WASN'T ANY TEAR OF LIGAMENTS,

HOLD ON A SECOND, POTENTIAL

SUBMISSION HERE.

>> DEVLIN JUST GOES THROUGH

ROPES, CAUSES THE BREAK.

SMART WORK FROM THE IRISH ACE.

>> A SPANISH SENSATION, A-KID

HAS A HISTORY IN MMA.

HIS ABILITY TO GET A SUBMISSION

AT ANY TIME FROM ANY ANGLE MAKES

HIM A VERY DANGEROUS COMPETITOR

AND DOESN'T JORDAN DEFINITELY

KNOW THAT.

>> NIGEL, THIS IS A TAKEOVER

LEVEL CONTEST AND OF COURSE TWO

WEEKS FROM SUNDAY AT NXT

TAKEOVER, WE WILL HAVE WALTER,

DRAGUNOV TO THE NXT UK

CHAMPIONSHIP.

COULD ONE OF THESE TWO

COMPETITORS IN FRONT OF US BE

NEXT IN LINE FOR TITLE

REGARDLESS WHO WALKS OUT THE

CHAMPION?

>> [INDISTINCT] A-KID.

>> DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY.

>> NO COVER, KICK OUT.

A-KID, [INDISTINCT] TOWARDS

THOSE SHOULDERS.

DEVLIN PUTS ALL HIS WEIGHT ON

THEM.

THEY ARE DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

WANTS TO GET ONE UP AND LOOK AT

DEVLIN NOW.

NOW HE'LL HAVE THE STRENGTH

ADVANTAGE HERE AND AGAIN THE

SHOULDERS DOWN FOR THE FIRST

[INDISTINCT].

>> LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL

WRESTLER'S BRIDGE NECK STRENGTH.

SEE THE HEIGHT ON THAT BUT HE

GETS CAUGHT BY JORDAN DEVLIN NOW

BEING STRETCHED OUT.

>> OH A STRETCH [INDISTINCT] I

HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN A LONG

TIME.

>> CAN WE GET A SUBMISSION FOR

THE FIRST FALL HERE?

A-KID SEEMS LOCKED UP HE MAY BE

TAPPING HERE AND HE SLIDES THE

SHOULDERS DOWN FOR THE FIRST

FALL IN THIS CONTEST.

A-KID'S IN REAL TROUBLE HE CAN

SEE THAT IN HIS FACE AND AGAIN

FOR THE COVER, GETS HIS SHOULDER

UP, AGAIN QUICK COUNT.

>> AGAIN, THE NECK STRENGTH OF

A-KID COMING INTO PLAY, WOW,

LOOK AT THAT.

>> HOLY GOD, YOU'VE GOT TO BE

KIDDING ME.

ROLLER FROM A-KID, QUICK COVER,

REVERSAL FROM DEVLIN.

DEVLIN LOOKS FOR A SUBMISSION.

DEVLIN IN TROUBLE HERE TRYING

[INDISTINCT] AGAIN THE FOOT OF

DEVLIN.

>> NIGEL, LOOK AT THIS, A-KID

GOES STRAIGHT TO THE OUTSIDE

AGAIN STALLING MOMENTUM.

>> [INDISTINCT] LET'S GO, BACK

IN RING.

>> [INDISTINCT] GO BACK THERE

KID.

>> DOING THE RIGHT THING THERE,

CHECKING ANY MOMENTUM, ANY WIND

FROM THE SAILS OF A-KID.

>> DEVLIN, CAUTIOUS AS HE

ENTERED THE SQUARED CIRCLE.

ONCE AGAIN, HE'S CLUTCHING ON--

THERE MAY BE SOME DAMAGE DONE TO

THAT LEFT ARM OF DEVLIN ALREADY

AND NOW IT'S A-KID WHO LOOKS TO

KICK AT THE KNEE.

NIGEL, WE'VE SEEN JORDAN DEVLIN

ROLL.

HE HAS AT A NUMBER OF TIMES

TRYING TO STOP THE MOMENTUM OF

A-KID.

HOW IMPORTANT IS MOMENTUM IN A

CONTEST LIKE THIS?

>> VERY MUCH SO.

IT'S ALL ABOUT MOMENTUM.

OH, GOOD LORD.

>> LOOK AT THIS A-KID SHOOT,

STROLL THERE FROM JORDAN DEVLIN.

DEVLIN WELL AWARE OF THE

GRAPPLING GAME OF A-KID.

>> YOU SEE THERE THE LEG TAPPING

THE MAT.

INDICATION OF A LITTLE BIT OF

FRUSTRATION FROM THE SPANISH

SENSATION, A-KID HAS TO STAY

FOCUSED.

>> A-KID NOW FOCUSING ON THAT

LEFT ARM OF DEVLIN AND REVERSAL.

DEVLIN CRANKS ON THE LEFT ARM OF

A-KID.

NIGEL, IN THIS MULTI-FALL

CONTEST WE SAID ONE MISTAKE

COULD BE COSTLY.

>> YES VERY MUCH SO.

CERTAINLY, AS THIS MATCH

CONTINUES AND IF IT STAYS-- >>

SHOULDERS ARE DOWN, NIP UP.

>> IF IT STAYS AT ZERO A PIECE,

THAT FIRST FALL, IF AND WHEN IT

COMES, CAN BE EVEN MORE

DEVASTATING.

>> ONCE AGAIN IT GETS LOCKED UP

BY DEVLIN AND THE CLOCK IS

CONTINUING TO TICK HERE.

NO FALLS APIECE.

REMEMBER WHOEVER CAN SCORE THE

MOST DECISIONS IN 30 MINUTES

WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER.

>> BEAUTIFUL ESCAPE FROM A-KID

>> BOTH THESE COMPETITORS

ALREADY FEELING THIS MATCH AND

IT'S A-KID TRYING TO STRETCH OUT

NOW.

THE IRISH ACE AND LOOK AT THIS.

>> HERE IT COMES.

>> DEVLIN INTO A COVER, KICK

OUT.

QUICK AGAIN TO TRY AND GROUND

A-KID.

NIGEL, THESE ARE BOTH TWO VERY

QUICK COMPETITORS BUT WOULD YOU

GIVE A-KID THERE THE SPEED

ADVANTAGE PERHAPS?

>> MAYBE BY A HAIR BUT I WOULD

CERTAINLY GIVE THE EXPERIENCE

AND THE AGGRESSION ADVANTAGE TO

JORDAN DEVLIN AND PERHAPS THAT

NASTINESS THAT WHAT WE SAW.

THAT WILLINGNESS TO TAKE

LIBERTIES WITH AN OPPONENT, I

THINK, OVERALL, GIVES THE IRISH

ACE AN EDGE IN THIS MATCH.

>> WE'RE ABOUT EIGHT MINUTES

INTO THIS CONTEST, NOW STILL NO

FALLS OR PINS.

A BIG DROPKICK LANDS AND DEVLIN

GETS ROCKED.

THIS COULD BE THE FIRST FALL

HERE.

COVER, KICK OUT.

>> DEVLIN CERTAINLY STUNNED BY

THAT DROPKICK.

>> A-KID THOUGH NOT RELEASING,

KEEPING CLOSE QUARTERS HERE WITH

JORDAN DEVLIN.

DOESN'T WANT DEVLIN ROLL TO THE

OUTSIDE ONCE AGAIN.

NOW A-KID JUST TRYING TO FORCE

OVER DEVLIN INTO A LATERAL PRESS

FOR A COVER, NIP UP.

AGAIN, NIGEL, A-KID NOT GIVING

ANY SPACE TO JORDAN.

>> A-KID'S ATTENTION TO DETAIL

NOW GETTING ALL OF HIS BODY

WEIGHT ACROSS THE SHOULDERS OF

JORDAN DEVLIN, BUT I GOT TO TELL

YOU THIS, I AM REALLY IMPRESSED

WITH THE MATURITY OF A-KID THUS

FAR.

YOU GOT TO THINK WHAT JORDAN

DELVIN-- HOLD ON A SECOND.

>> LOOK AT THE CRANK HERE FROM

A-KID BUT DEVLIN BACKED INTO THE

ROPES, CAUSES THE BREAK.

COULD HAVE BEEN A SCARY MOMENT

FOR DEVLIN.

>> SEE IF WE GET A CLEAN BREAK.

NO WAY.

>> COULDN'T EXPECT THAT FROM

JORDAN DEVLIN WHO TRIES NOW

SWITCHING THE MOMENTUM IN HIS

ADVANTAGE.

>> WELL LOOK AT HOW A-KID HAS

RESPONDED TO THAT SLAP, HE'S

JUST STAYED CALM.

HE'S NOT FLUSTERED AT ALL.

THIS IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE FROM

A-KID.

>> THIS IS THE KIND OF MATURITY

WE SAW A-KID HAVE IN THAT

HERITAGE CUP TOURNAMENT AND WENT

ALL THE WAY THERE.

A-KID WENT TO THE ROPES, DEVLIN

CAUGHT HIM AND NOW TRYING TO TIE

UP A-KID IN THE ROPES.

>> OH NO, LOOK AT THE LEG.

>> THE INJURED LEG, TRYING TO

STOP HIM.

OH MY WORD, LOOK AT THE WEIGHT

OF DEVLIN ON THAT LEG AND NOW

A-KID GRASPING AND DEVLIN CAN

SMELL BLOOD.

>> THE AGGRESSION NOW OF JORDAN

DEVLIN, AN ERUDITE DECISION TO

PRESENT ITSELF HERE.

HOLD ON A SECOND.

COULD BE LOOKING FOR IT, YES.

>> A-KID TAPS.

>> AN IMMEDIATE TAP FROM A-KID,

YOU COULD UNDERSTAND WHY.

>> ONE FALL, [INDISTINCT] AS

DEVLIN TAKES THE LEAD IN THIS

IRON MAN CONTEST.

>> A PIVOTAL DECISION FROM THE

IRISH ACE.

THE OFFICIAL ASKING A-KID IF HE

CAN CONTINUE, IF HE'S OKAY.

HE'S CERTAINLY NOT OKAY BUT HE

WILL CONTINUE.

>> 20 MINUTES LEFT IN THIS IRON

MAN CONTEST AND A-KID, THAT KNEE

WAS HOLDING UP WELL BUT JORDAN

DEVLIN MAY WELL HAVE RE-INJURED

HIM.

A-KID ON THE BACKFOOT FOR LACK

OF A BETTER TERM.

NO DOUBT THERE IS NOW A BULL'S

EYE THAT DEVLIN IS GOING TO GO

AFTER.

LOOK AT THIS AGAIN, THE RIGHT

KNEE, BUT DEVLIN-- A-KID MANAGED

TO STOP IT.

A-KID FIRING BACK HERE.

THERE'S FIRE IN THE STADIUM.

>> A-KID LOOKS FOR A SUPLEX BUT

NO DEVLIN COUNTERS AND AGAIN

DEVIN LOOKS FOR THE LATERAL

PRESS, HOOKS THAT LEG FOR THE

SECOND COVER.

KICKOUT.

NIGEL, THERE IS NOW.

A BULLSEYE ON A-KID.

>> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AS A-KID

HOBBLING GINGERLY TO THE ROPES.

THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT

COULD HAVE HAPPENED FOR THE

FORMER HERITAGE CUP CHAMPION.

>> NIGEL, IF WE GO BACK TO THAT

MOMENT, A-KID TAPPED OUT, WAS

THAT A WISE DECISION ON A-KID?

>> OH ABSOLUTELY.

HE HAD TO TAP OUT AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE.

LOOK AT THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE

IN EVEN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF

TIME.

IF HE'D HAVE STAYED IN THAT HOLD

ANY LONGER, I THINK THERE

WOULD'VE BEEN NO COMING BACK

FROM IT.

>> WELL, THERE MAY BE NO COME

BACK FROM THIS BECAUSE LOOK AS

DEVLIN JUST CRASHING THAT RIGHT

KNEE INTO THE CANVAS AND THE

PAIN ETCHED ON THE FACE OF A-KID

AND LOOK AT THE LOOK ON DEVLIN'S

FACE.

DEVLIN POISED, GOES FOR THE-- OH

[INDISTINCT] PUNCH, A-KID OH MY

WORD.

LOOK AT THAT.

A-KID'S GOT THE BACK, A-KID'S

GOT THE BACK.

A-KID NOW TRYING TO JUST-- IT'S

LOCKED IN DEEP.

DEVLIN'S IN TROUBLE.

>> THIS COULD BE IT, THIS COULD

BE IT.

IS DEVLIN GOING TO TAP?

>> DEVLIN TRYING TO GET TO THE

ROPES.

>> HE'S CLOSE TO THE ROPES, HE

IS CLOSE TO THE ROPES.

>> HIS FOOT'S ON THE ROPES.

DEVLIN MAKES THE BREAK.

>> WELL DONE.

>> OH MY WORD.

OH DEVLIN.

A-KID SO CLOSE [INDISTINCT]

DEVLIN ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE,

SWITCHED THE MOMENTUM AND NOW

HE'S IN THAT RING APRON TO

AFFLICT FURTHER PUNISHMENT.

OH HANG ON A MINUTE.

THAT RIGHT KNEE WRAPPED AROUND

THE STEEL.

>> OH HERE WE GO.

>> I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU

DON'T THINK.

I KNOW SURELY NOT.

DEVLIN FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE

STEEL IN DEEP.

LOOK AT THE PAIN ON A-KID'S

FACE.

DEVLIN'S GOT TO BE CAREFUL NOT

TO GET DISQUALIFIED HERE.

>> GOT TO BE CAREFUL.

THAT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A TAP

FROM A-KID.

HE WAS IN SUCH PAIN.

HE COULD BARELY CONTROL HIS BODY

FROM SPASMING.

>> A TAP, NIGEL, DEVLIN COULD'VE

BEEN DISQUALIFIED.

NONETHELESS, THE DAMAGE DONE

FURTHER TO A-KID'S KNEE.

>> A DISQUALIFICATION WOULD

COUNT AS A DECISION IN THIS

MATCHUP SO DEVLIN INDEED NEEDS

TO BE WARY.

>> BUT THE PUNISHMENT DONE THAT

DAMAGED-- OH LOOK AT THIS.

A-KID, I DON'T THINK A-KID COULD

EVEN STAND.

HE MAY BE A SITTING DUCK FOR THE

IRISH ACE.

>> HOLD ON A SECOND.

>> NIGEL, WHEN'S ENOUGH, ENOUGH?

WE'VE SEEN A-KID BE SIDELINED BY

THIS INJURY.

HE MAY WELL HAVE INJURED EVEN

MORE HERE.

LOOK AT THIS.

NOW DEVLIN'S TO TURN OVER A-KID.

>> LOOKING FOR A SINGLE LEG

BOSTON CRAB PERHAPS.

>> A-KID TRYING TO FIGHT.

>> A-KID HAS REALLY GOT TO FIGHT

BECAUSE AT 2-0, THIS IS ALMOST

NO WAY BACK FOR A-KID.

>> A-KID TRYING TO SCRATCH THE

ROPES, HE GETS THERE, CAUSES THE

BREAK BUT YET FURTHER DAMAGE

INFLICTED.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY

HARD ROAD TO HELL FOR THE

SPANISH SENSATION WHO LOVES TO

THROW KICKS WITH BOTH HIS LEFT

AND RIGHT LEG.

RIGHT NOW, HE'S A ONE-LEGGED

MAN.

LOOK AT THE [INDISTINCT] ON

A-KID'S FACE.

HE JUST GETS DROPPED AND THE

REFEREE CHECKING VERY CLOSELY

BUT THERE'S NOW WAY THAT A-KID

IS GOING TO LET THIS MATCH BE

STOPPED.

OH.

>> BUT THAT LANDED.

THERE'S AN EFFECT FOR SURE.

>> AGAIN, IT IS ONE NOTHING IN

FAVOR OF DEVLIN.

DEVLIN COULD JUST RUN OUT THE

CLOCK HERE, INFLICT PUNISHMENT

AND HE WILL WIN THIS CONTEST.

GETTING MIDWAY THROUGH THIS

CONTEST BUT LOOK AT THIS

BEAUTIFUL SUPLEX FROM A-KID WHO

HOLDS ON.

HE IS STILL FIGHTING.

>> THAT KNEE HELD UP ENOUGH FOR

GERMAN SUPLEX.

THAT SPEAKS WELL.

>> OH HANG ON BUT A GERMAN

SUPLEX THERE FROM DEVLIN, WHO

HIMSELF HOLDS ON.

LOOK AT A-KID'S FACE NIGEL.

>> TAKE A LOOK AT A-KID'S MOUTH.

IT'S WIDE OPEN.

>> OH THERE WE GO.

>> AGAIN.

>> BIG GERMAN SUPLEX.

THIS IS A LAST DITCH EFFORT FROM

A-KID.

HOW MUCH HAS HE GOT LEFT?

>> GOT TO KEEP SOMETHING IN THE

STORE.

GOT TO HAVE A LOT LEFT BECAUSE

THIS MATCH HAS PLENTY OF TIME TO

GO.

>> ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX.

A-KID IS DIGGING DEEP AND

DEVLIN'S GETTING ROCKED HERE.

WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH THIS

IRONMAN MATCH.

JORDAN DEVLIN ONE FALL UP.

A-KID ON THE BACK FOOT, HIS KNEE

INJURED.

OH HANG-- OH LOOK AT THE PAIN,

NOT SURE THAT WAS SMART.

DEVLIN HOLDS ON TO THE ROPES.

OH MY WORD, OVER THE TOP ROPE.

THAT LOOKED NASTY.

>> AN AWKWARD LANDING AS BOTH

DEVLIN AND A-KID CLATTERED INTO

THE MAT.

>> HERE, ANOTHER LOOK AT THE

NASTY FALL.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE MOMENTUM AND

WHIPLASH WHEN BOTH COMPETITORS

PROPEL FROM THE RING.

NOT GOOD, WITH ALMOST 15 MINUTES

LEFT ON THE CLOCK.

>> THREE.

>> REFEREE MAKING THE COUNT

HERE.

>> FOUR.

>> BOTH THESE COMPETITORS HAVE

LAID IT ALL ON THE LINE.

>> FIVE.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE TOLL IT'S

TAKEN ON THEM.

OH, AS A-KID ROLLS IN.

>> SIX, SEVEN.

>> REFEREE'S AT SEVEN.

>> OH, A COUNT OUT WILL BE A

DECISION.

>> EIGHT, NINE.

>> IS DEVLIN GOING TO GET THE

DECISION?

A-KID, JUST MAKES IT.

OH, LOOK AT THIS, LOOKS LIKE THE

OMOPLATA.

>> INTO THE OMOPLATA INDEED.

>> CAN HE GET ON THE KNEE

THOUGH?

THE KNEE, THE PAIN MUST BE

ETCHED ON HIS FACE.

LOOK AT THIS, A-KID TRYING TO

GET [INDISTINCT].

LOOK AT THE DETERMINATION AS

DEVLIN EDGES TOWARDS THE ROPES.

HE GETS HIS FOOT THERE.

>> NO.

>> OH, FRUSTRATION ON THE

SPANIARD'S FACE.

>> THE DETERMINATION OF JORDAN

DEVLIN TO GET THE BOTTOM ROPE

THERE WAS TANTAMOUNT.

>> HERE'S DEVLIN NOW, FIRST TO

HIS FEET.

YOU CAN SEE THE PUNISHMENT

[INDISTINCT].

A-KID FOCUSING ON DEVLIN BUT

EATS THE BOOT.

NOW IT'S DEVLIN, QUICK TO THE

OUTSIDE.

OH, GOES FOR THE [INDISTINCT].

I THINK HE'S GOT HIM.

>> INTO THE SLEEPER HOLD.

>> TRYING TO PUT DEVLIN TO

SLEEP.

CAN A-KID DRAW A LEVEL AND SCORE

A DECISION?

>> TRYING TO GET THE HOOKS IN,

GET THE BODY SCISSORS.

LOOK AT JORDAN DEVLIN'S FACE,

IT'S BEET RED.

>> DEVLIN'S FADING HERE.

REFEREE CHECKING VERY CLOSELY.

A-KID NEEDS TO DRAW THIS LEVEL.

A-KID MAKES THE DECISION TO

RELEASE.

WHAT'S A-KID GOT IN MIND.

OH, WOW.

THE INJURED LEG HE USED.

COVER, COUNT TO DRAW IT EVEN,

KICK OUT.

WOW.

WAS THAT A SENSIBLE MOVE BY

A-KID TO RELEASE THE HOLD?

>> WELL, I'M NOT IN THERE, I

CAN'T SPEAK TO IT.

I THINK HE FELT LIKE HE HAD A

BETTER OPPORTUNITY WITH THE KICK

THAN THE SLEEPER HOLD AT THAT

POINT.

>> ONLY A-KID KNOWS FOR SURE BUT

IT'S NOW A-KID WHO'S DIGGING SO

DEEP.

REMEMBER, HE NEED TO DRAW THIS

EQUAL.

>> OH, AND HE MIGHT START

GETTING DESPERATE AS THE TIME IS

TICKING ON NOW.

REALLY NEEDING THAT EQUALIZING

FALLING DECISION.

>> OH, MAN, LOOK AT THAT, THAT

JUST FLOORED A-KID.

>> OH, THIS IS REALLY NOW

STARTING TO BECOME A WAR OF

ATTRITION AS THE STRIKES ARE

LANDING.

OH.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, THIS COULD BE

IT.

>> TO PUT IT EVEN.

KICK OUT, TRANSITION, HE'S GOT

THE ARM BAR IN.

IT'S LOCKED IN.

A-KID, DEVLIN'S NOWHERE NEAR THE

ROPES.

>> DO YOU QUIT?

>> DEVLIN, THE PAIN ON HIS FACE.

>> IS DEVLIN GOING TO SAVE

HIMSELF PERHAPS?

>> A-KID MAKES THE DECISION JUST

TO FOCUS-- [INDISTINCT] OH, A

TAP?

>> YES, THERE IT IS.

THERE IT IS.

>> QUICK TAP FROM DEVLIN.

A-KID DRAWS IT EVEN.

>> THAT'S A FALL FOR A-KID.

>> OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

>> WE ARE TIED AT ONE DECISION A

PIECE WITH JUST OVER 11 MINUTES

REMAINING.

>> ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

I NEED YOU BACK UP THERE.

>> LOOK AT THIS, A-KID, THERE'S

CONFIDENCE ON HIS FACE HERE.

OH, DEVLIN ROLLS STRAIGHT TO THE

OUTSIDE.

LOOK AT HIS, JORDAN DEVLIN JUST

RETREATING.

>> WELL, IT'S GREAT STRATEGY.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE MOMENTUM

AWAY FROM A-KID NOW, WHO IS

DOGGEDLY PURSUING A SECOND

SUBMISSION ON THE DAMAGED ARM OF

JORDAN DEVLIN.

>> JUST LIKE DEVLIN COULD SMELL

BLOOD, A-KID CAN SEE THAT DEVLIN

IS HURT HERE.

A-KID NEEDS TO REALLY TRY AND

TRACK DOWN DEVLIN BECAUSE DEVLIN

IS ON THE BACK FOOT.

>> MAY HAVE HYPEREXTENDED THE

ARM.

THAT IS GOING TO WEAKEN IT TO

ANY POTENTIAL SUBMISSION.

>> A-KID NOW GETTING FRUSTRATED

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JORDAN

DEVLIN WANTS, AS WELL AS

STALLING THIS MOMENTUM.

DEVLIN TRYING TO POP HIS ARM

BACK IN?

>> WELL, IT'S NOT THE SHOULDER,

IT'S THE ELBOW JOINT THERE,

DAMAGE TO THE LIGAMENT OF THE

ELBOW.

>> DEVLIN BREAKS THE COUNT.

LOOK AT A-KID'S FACE.

DEVLIN KNOWS THAT A-KID IS

COMING FORWARD HERE.

>> COME ON, LET'S GO.

ONE, TWO.

>> OH.

WE'VE GOT JUST UNDER 10 MINUTES

LEFT IN THIS IRON MAN MATCH.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT WHO IS

THE BETTER MAN, WHO IS THE

BETTER COMPETITOR.

A-KID HAS THE MOMENTUM.

>> THIS IS WHERE IT COMES DOWN

TO GUTS AND DETERMINATION.

WHO WANTS IT MORE?

WHO'S GOT THE BIGGER HEART?

>> OH, A-KID REALLY KICKS HARD.

NOW IT'S A-KID'S DECISION TO

KEEP DEVLIN ON THE OUTSIDE,

FRUSTRATING THE IRISH ACE.

DEVLIN COMES IN, SWINGS, MISSES.

NOW IT'S A-KID FIRING UP,

UNLEASHING ON JORDAN DEVLIN, THE

MAN [INDISTINCT] WHAT MOMENTUM.

>> DEVLIN, COME ON, HEY.

>> LOOK AT THE FRUSTRATION NOW.

>> DEVLIN'S GOT A CHAIR.

>> GUYS, COME ON.

>> A-KID CONNECTS BUT WHAT

DAMAGE IS BEING TO THAT ALREADY

INJURED KNEE.

>> I THINK A-KID COULD HAVE

SAVED JORDAN DEVLIN THERE IF

DEVLIN HAD HIT A-KID WITH A

CHAIR, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A

DISQUALIFICATION RIGHT IN FRONT

OF THE REFEREE.

SERENDIPITOUS FOR JORDAN DEVLIN.

>> THE REFEREE CONTINUING TO

COUNT HERE AS A-KID ROLLS DEVLIN

BACK INSIDE.

A-KID WANTS TO WIN THIS INSIDE

THE SQUARED CIRCLE.

HIGH RISK, WILL THERE BE A BIG

REWARD HERE.

A-KID FLIES, CROSS BODY.

COVER, FOR DECISION.

KICK OUT.

A-KID, A SPLIT SECOND AWAY FROM

TAKING THE LEAD BUT THIS IS ONE

FALL APIECE.

>> LOOK AT JORDAN DEVLIN, HIS

BACK IS ON THE MAT.

HE'S BARELY MOVED, HE'S HURT.

>> LOOK AT A-KID, TRYING TO GET

BLOOD BACK INTO HIS KNEE.

HE'S [INDISTINCT] DEVLIN CATCHES

HIM.

DEVLIN LOOKING AGAIN FOR THE

CLOVER LEAF.

THE INJURED KNEE.

>> I'M NOT SURE IF HE CAN GET IT

WITH THE DAMAGE TO THE ARM

THOUGH.

>> LOOK AT THESE UPWARD STRIKES

FROM A-KID.

A-KID TRYING TO RELEASE BUT

DEVLIN HOISTS UP A-KID, OH MY

WORD, [INDISTINCT] COMBINATION.

KICK OUT.

>> THAT WAS CLOSE.

>> AGAIN THAT INJURED KNEE USED

FOR THE OFFENSE.

INTO THE COVER, FOR THE COUNT.

KICK OUT.

>> AGAIN, DID YOU SEE HOW MUCH

BODYWEIGHT A-KID PUT ACROSS THE

SHOULDERS OF JORDAN DEVLIN?

>> WE HAVE EIGHT MINUTES LEFT IN

THIS CONTEST, BUT NIGEL, A-KID

IS LITERALLY PUTTING HIS BODY ON

THE LIFE [INDISTINCT] USING THAT

INJURED LEG.

>> IT'S HIS BODY TELLING THE

[A-KID'S MUSIC] >> AN INCREDIBLE

MATCH.

LIVED UP TO, EXCEEDED

EXPECTATIONS AS WE TAKE A LOOK

BACK NOW AT THE THREE FALLS IN

THE MATCH.

FIRST, AFTER INTELLIGENTLY

TARGETING THE PREVIOUSLY INJURED

RIGHT KNEE, JORDAN DEVLIN'S

SCORED THE FIRST FALL WITH A

QUICK TAP FROM A-KID TO PRESERVE

HIS KNEE IN THE FOUR-LEAF

CLOVER.

A-KID, HOWEVER, WOULD DOGGEDLY

HANG ON AND AFTER ATTEMPTING HIS

OMOPLATA, IT WAS THE

INTELLIGENCE ON THE PART OF

A-KID WITH THE HIP TO TRANSITION

TO THE ARMBAR TO EVEN THE SCORE

AT ONE FALL A PIECE.

AS THE MATCH CAME CLOSE TO ITS

TIME LIMIT, A-KID FINALLY GOT

THE OMOPLATA AND FORCED THE

IRISH ACE TO SUBMIT IN A VERBAL

TAP AND LIVED UP TO HIS WORD AND

WIN THE VERY FIRST IRONMAN MATCH

IN NXT UK HISTORY.

>> WHAT A WIN FOR A-KID IN WHAT

WAS AN INSTANT CLASSIC.

>> JORDAN DEVLIN WAS ONE SECOND

AWAY FROM TYING THIS UP AT TWO

FALLS A PIECE.

>> I CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY

FROM JORDAN DEVLIN BUT A-KID

SHOWS HIMSELF TO BE THE IRONMAN

OF NXT UK.
