If you’re looking for a Championship match with everything, then look no further.

NXT UK Champion WALTER met his match in Joe Coffey on Sunday in a match that will be remembered for a long time.

Two of the biggest men in NXT UK nearly destroyed each other with thunderous chops and claps which could have taken any other Superstar out in the blink of an eye.

Coffey was impressive throughout the bout and delivered a great moonsault to get the momentum going. It was impressive to watch him lift the nearly 320-pound WALTER for a suplex which left the audience in awe.

At a time when Coffey seemed to have everything under control, the referee was taken out by WALTER. The passage allowed Alexander Wolfe to come to the ring and aide WALTER but Ilja Dragunov hit the ring to even the odds.

The match continued without a referee and Coffey seemed to have WALTER pinned but there was no one there to count the pin. In the end, a Referee made it to the ring but things weren’t over just yet.

WALTER then did everything in his power to take out Coffey’s leg and make him tap out to retain his title and stand tall on a day where Imperium failed to win the Tag Team gold.

Coffey’s resistance showed the NXT Universe that WALTER may be dominant, but he still has a few people in line who can take him out on a good day.
