Andrews to battle Dar in high-stakes tournament bout on NXT UK

An amazing edition of NXT UK is set to be highlighted by Mark Andrews and Noam Dar brawling in an NXT UK Heritage Cup No. 1 Contender’s Tournament Quarterfinal Match.

Andrews and The Scottish Supernova share a storied history, having collided in several instant classics in NXT UK and before coming to the brand. In fact, two years ago, Dar narrowly prevailed over Andrews in a battle so fierce that both competitors had to be taken away on stretchers while giving the thumbs up sign to the WWE Universe.

Dar earned the win in that encounter, but what will happen when they meet in the often savage environment that naturally accompanies a Heritage Cup Match with a trip to the semifinals on the line? Will one of these Superstars go on to win the tournament and earn the chance to challenge NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion Tyler Bate?

Plus, after losing the NXT UK Tag Team Titles to Pretty Deadly in February, the Gallus boys will continue their friendly competition, wherein each member looks to rack up as many singles victories as possible, as Wolfgang is primed to tangle with Flash Morgan Webster.

Wolfgang is coming off an impressive victory against Sam Gradwell, while Webster is looking for a bounce-back win after he and Andrews failed to take the NXT UK Tag Team Championship from Pretty Deadly.

And following a wild backstage confrontation last week that forced NXT UK officials to intervene, Amale and Nina Samuels will settle the score in what should be a heated affair.

Don’t miss an incredible episode of NXT UK, streaming at 3 ET/8 BST on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
