A self-recorded Mustafa Ali promo is played. The Heart of 205 Live broke down his path to this upcoming title match. Ali said that he's no longer a "maybe." At Survivor Series, he'll be called "champion."
Next week, Akira Tozawa will team with The Brian Kendrick to face Drew Gulak and Jack Gallagher.
Non-Title match: Buddy Murphy vs Mark Andrews
Buddy Murphy entered the arena first, while a pre-recorded promo played. Murphy said that, no matter how hard Ali has worked to get where he is now, there's no stopping the unstoppable. There's no stopping a Juggernaut.
Mark Andrews has had a pretty impressive run on NXT UK thus far and even managed to defeat Wolfgang last week. Tonight, Andrews faced his biggest challenge yet in the Cruiserweight Champion.
Murphy's size advantage was evident, as he looked to keep Andrews on the ground. Andrews did manage to get Murphy off his feet for a second but missed a standing moonsault. Murphy launched Andrews into the corner but was forced to chase his opponent around the ring.
Murphy caught Andrews who was attempting a hurricanrana, but he was still able to turn it into a pin attempt, nearly picking up the victory. Andrews sent Murphy to the outside, then connected with a hurricanrana over the ropes to the outside.
Back inside the ring, Murphy caught Andrews going for a tilt-a-whirl DDT, lawn darting him straight into the middle turnbuckle. Murphy took over at this point, sending Andrews flying across the ring. Any attempt to chop Murphy down was met with the Juggernaut's brute force, pelting Andrews with harsh elbow strikes and punches.
After minutes of abuse from the champion, Andrews shocked Murphy and the crowd with a reverse hurricanrana out of nowhere, spiking Murphy and sending him to the outside. Andrews then dove out with a suicide dive, sending Buddy Murphy over the announcer's desk.
Andrews kept up the offense, not giving Murphy the chance to breathe, and connected with a beautiful running senton, elevating himself off the steel steps.
Back inside, Murphy tried to put his opponent away with the Murphy's Law, but it was countered by a roll-up which led to a double foot stomp from Andrews.
Andrews repeatedly went for pinfall attempts, nearly picking up an upset over Murphy. Murphy got back to his feet, and the two cruiserweights began trading strikes. Murphy caught Andrews out of mid-air going for a tornado DDT. Andrews almost turned it back in his favor with a hurricanrana, but Murphy finally planted him in the middle of the ring with a sit-out powerbomb.
Murphy attempted a stalling suplex, but Andrews turned it into the Stundog Millionaire. However, as he went for the Shooting Star Press, Murphy put his knees up. Following a devastating running knee, the champion put the NXT UK star away with Murphy's Law.
Results: Buddy Murphy defeated Mark Andrews via pinfall
Murphy had a tough challenge tonight against Mark Andrews. Though he lost tonight, Andrews put on a great performance, and will more than likely make an impact on NXT UK.
With Mark Andrews in the rearview mirror, Buddy Murphy sets his sights on his next challenger, the Heart of 205 Live, Mustafa Ali.
