- Today's second episode of WWE NXT UK saw Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews debut as a tag team, picking up the win over Saxon Huxley and Joseph Conners. Webster and Andrews are asking fans on Twitter to help with their new tag team name. The finish saw Huxley get pinned after refusing to tag Conners in. Conners then attacked Huxley after the match.

Above is backstage video of Huxley talking to Radzi Chinyanganya after the turn by his partner. Huxley says he does not like having his intelligence insulted, especially by a man who was supposed to be his partner. Huxley says Conners will soon find out that he has just awoken The Divine Beast inside of Saxon Huxley.
