Andy Shepherd and Niguel McGuinness welcome fans to WWE NXT UK! We kick things off with a spirited contest in the women's division!
Blair Davenport vs. Nina Samuels
Blair Davenport knocks Nina Samuels right off the top rope seconds after entering. The bell hasn't rung yet, but Davenport is determined to gain the lead in this bout. They make their way into the ring. Davenport slams Samuels on the mat with a falcon arrow. Davenport grabs Samuels' hands, and two referees stop Davenport from continuing this match. Again, the bell never rang! Sid Scala charges into the ring and stops the match. He tells Davenport to make her way to his office right now. Instead, she hits a Kamigoye, then smashes him onto the mat with another falcon arrow. Several referees and officials come out to help Scala. Davenport retreats and holds her head up high.

No falls/points were awarded.
