NXT UK main event - Jordan Devlin vs Trent Seven for the Cruiserweight Championship
The NXT UK main event was off to a quick start with Trent Seven charging at his opponent and delivering chops to Devlin's chest.
The action spilled out of the ring, with the former NXT Tag Team Champion delivering a snapdragon suplex to Devlin before putting him back inside the ring.
The pair then battled back and forth, before Seven delivered a leg drop to Devlin. The Irish Ace then responded with a chokeslam and followed it up with a standing Shooting Star Press.
As Trent Seven began to slow down a little, Jordan Devlin became more aggressive and used the ring post to damage his challenger's back.
Devlin then continued to target Sevens' back by dropping him on the ring apron and then driving his knee straight into the same spot.
The Cruiserweight Champion then attempted to lock Seven into the Four-Leaf Clover, but the Moustache Mountain member worked his way out. He caught Devlin with a suicide dive and brought the Irish Ace back into the ring on NXT UK.

Trent Seven finally managed to hit a Seven Star Lariat but couldn't put the champion away with it.
The former NXT Tag Team Champion then fought back some more, transitioning from an airplane spin to a Burning Hammer. However, he couldn't manage to pin his rival this time.
The match between the two stars went to another level, as Jordan Devlin poked the eye of Trent Seven. The Irish Ace then landed a 450 splash on Trent and then manages to pin him to retain the NXT Cruiserweight Championship.
