Saxon Huxley vs. Jack Starz and Levi Muir in a two-on-one handicap match on NXT UK.

The smaller of the two, Jack Starz, was in first against his towering opponent. Huxley made quick work of him before he tagged out. Muir was next, and although he possesses a much larger frame, the power of Huxley was overwhelming.

Starz and Muir double-teamed Huxley, taking him off his feet. But the advantage wouldn't last, as NXT UK's answer to Bruiser Brody took him down with a huge Lou Thesz press into a reverse chin lock. A gigantic gorilla press followed this grinding submission.

Huxley went on the warpath, and he took both opponents out with lariats outside the ring. A big bodyslam on Starz only got a two count. Muir ran in and fired off on Huxley with a double dropkick to stagger the big man. Starz took the advantage with an assisted sunset flip to score a shocking victory. After the match, Huxley attacked both winners, but "The Bomber" Dave Mastiff made the save.
