Following last week's unmissable NXT UK: Prelude, multiple stars returned to BT Sport Studios for this week's episode.
The show opened with a bang when powerhouse Saxon Huxley faced off against high-flying star Nathan Fraser. The former trainee of SmackDown superstar Seth Rollins has had an impressive outing during his short time on the UK brand so far.
Also on the show, chaos ensued during the Super Nova Sessions with Noam Dar. His guests on this week's edition were former tag team champions, Gallus. Everything was going on well until they were met with a group of gatecrashers.
This was followed up by Isla Dawn taking on Emilia McKenzie following their tag team match on NXT UK: Prelude. Last week, Dawn teamed up with Kay Lee RRayand McKenzie worked with Japanese wrestling legend Meiko Satomura.
Also on the card was Ashton Smith vs Jack Starz. Starz recently formed an alliance with Piper Niven following their participation in a mixed tag team match.
The main event of tonight's NXT UK saw a former friendship turn nasty. Former tag team partners Amir Jordan and Kenny Williams faced off in a vicious Grudge Match.
