Welcome to NXT UK! The show kicks off with the Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin making his way down to the ring.

The Irish Ace begins his monologue by explaining why he created this Open Challenge for the title. He wants to prove week by week that he's the greatest Cruiserweight of this division. He's still looking for challengers to prove him wrong. All of a sudden, he gets interrupted by Trent Seven. Trent says in just a few words that he's going to trim down and challenge Devlin for the title. Devlin doesn't brush his challenge off. In fact, he puts his hand out for a shake. Trent grabs his hand and clocks him on the side of his face. Devlin slides out of the ring, forgetting his title. Trent's foot is on it. They lock eyes again before Devlin makes his way up to the ramp.

Next, we see both The Hunt and Pretty Deadly getting ready for their big 4-Way Elimination main event match.

- Coming back from the brief break, we look back at Kay Lee Ray's dominant reign as the NXT UK Women's Champion. Kay wants the best of the best to challenge her for the title. It looks like Japanese sensation Meiko Satomura is stepping up to the plate. She is officially coming to NXT UK!

Back to the ring, Ben Carter will compete in singles action!

Ben Carter vs. Sam Gradwellย 

Before the match starts, Sam Gradwell wants Ben Carter to know that he plans to send him back home. He doesn't think Carter belongs in NXT UK.

The bell rings. Sam Gradwell pushes Ben Carter towards the corner. Carter comes out and lands a big chop on Gradwell's chest. Gradwell gains wrist control. Carter escapes rather quickly with a dropkick. Carter's agility is on point as he sends Gradwell over to the apron with another big dropkick. Gradwell is not happy with Carter's antics and slows him down with a couple of boot shots to the head. He looks for a cover. Carter kicks out at two. Gradwell keeps swinging on the new signee. Carter finds a way to roll Gradwell up. Gradwell escapes at two.

Gradwell pounds Carter in the back of his head. He goes for two covers with the same results: kick-outs at two. Carter tries to create separation with a series of midsection punches and two big knife edge chops. Carter lands a swinging right hand, which sends Gradwell out of the ring. Carter takes to the skies twice with two massive flips over the top rope. Carter gets caught with a crossbody. Carter counters it with a guillotine choke. Gradwell throws him across the ring. Carter escapes with a moonsault off the second rope and lands a reverse DDT/elbow drop combination. Carter flies off the top rope with a textbook frog splash for the pinfall victory!

The former NXT UK Tag Team Champions Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster and Ashton Smith & Oliver Smith are strategizing how they're going to win the main event match that's still to come.

Up next, the second singles match on the card!

Josh Morrell vs.ย  Sha Samuels

Sha Samuels holds his hand over Josh Morrell's mouth and pushes him over towards the corner. Morrell finds a bit of offense with a general wristlock. Samuels reveres it. Samuels smashes Morrell with a series of punches on the side of his head. Morrell only gets one midsection shot in before Samuels throws him over his shoulder. He connects a stiff kick. Morrell crawls over to the bottom rope. This won't save him as Samuels picks up him and sidewalk slams him onto the canvas. Morrell fires back with a big lariat to create some separation. Samuels gains the dominant momentum with a huge spinebuster before submitting Morrell for his first victory.

Winner: Sha Samuels
