NXT UK Results
Another Thursday and another solid episode from NXT UK. This week had a big battle in the main event from Tyler Bate and Kassius Ohno. The full results are here:
- Kay Lee Ray def. Xia Brookside
- Travis Banks def. Ligero
- Tyler Bate def. Kassius Ohno
In the set-up for Ohno-Bate, WWE aired a great interview with Ohno about British Strong Style co-opting Antonio Inoki’s wrestling style. It’s a great little piece, so check it out here:
Watch this: I’ve taken exception w/ “British Strong Style” and their appropriation of Antonio Inoki’s wrestling ideology.
On today’s episode of @NXTUK, Tyler Bate has to answer to the Wrestling Genius for meddling in MY affairs. You should watch that too. 3PM EST, @WWENetwork pic.twitter.com/1uAnv39Po7

Malcolm Bivens CD Player Found
The greatest mystery in WWE history has been solved. It wasn’t the Higher Power or Who Attacked Roman Reigns. No, it was the saga of Malcolm Bivens (a.k.a. Stokely Hathaway) missing CD player. After months of interviewing wrestlers about it (Fightful has a great investigation here), it was found to be in the possession of…
Nia Jax.

It should be action packed, and could be full of CM Punk chants once again thanks to his return on WWE Backstage. Still, looks like a great card for a Friday night.
Speaking of Punk, Fox released a behind the scenes look at sneaking him in for his return. Check it out:
