Carter and Smith challenge Moustache Mountain for NXT UK Tag Team Championship
A can’t-miss episode of NXT UK will see Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith challenge Moustache Mountain for the NXT UK Tag Team Championship, Amale tangle with Xia Brookside, and much more.
Carter and Smith have endured a long and arduous journey to this championship fight, having teamed together for nearly two-and-a-half years before finally securing their first chance to challenge for the gold.
Most recently, Carter and Smith emerged triumphant from a four-team No. 1 Contender’s Tournament by besting Symbiosis in the semifinals and toppling Dave Mastiff and Jack Starz in the finals.
Moustache Mountain, arguably the most successful tandem in NXT UK history, are the final hurdle for Oliver and Carter, though Tyler Bate and Trent Seven have been firing on all cylinders since reforming their tag team.
In fact, they’re undefeated ever since Bate lost his NXT UK Heritage Cup to Noam Dar in a controversial conclusion that occurred when Seven inadvertently threw in the towel to give the win to The Scottish Supernova. With both tandems on fire in recent months, what will happen in the high-stakes championship collision?
Amale, meanwhile, picked up a pair of impressive wins against Myla Grace and Stevie Turner before falling to Jinny, who cheated her way to a win.
Now, The French Hope seeks a bounce-back victory against Xia Brookside, who hasn’t been shy about complaining to Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala – or anyone else who will listen – that she is entitled to more opportunities.
Plus, after Rohan Raja and Charlie Dempsey caught an earful from Teoman last week, Raja will battle Danny Jones, and NXT UK Women’s Champion Meiko Satomura is set to be honored by NXT UK management for her immense contributions to the brand.
Tune in to a wild edition of NXT UK, streaming Thursday at 3 ET/8 GMT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
