A can’t-miss edition of NXT UK is slated to feature Tyler Bate defending his NXT UK Heritage Cup against Noam Dar in a pulse-pounding showdown, Mark Coffey tangling with Rohan Raja, and much more.

The Big Strong Boi has enjoyed an impressive run with his championship since unseating A-Kid, posting victories over the likes of Jack Starz and Mark Coffey in some edge-of-your-seat title fights while also teaming with Trent Seven and attempting to capture the NXT UK Tag Team Championship.

Dar recently earned the right to challenge Bate after emerging triumphant in a grueling eight-Superstar tournament to determine a new No. 1 Contender. Though he often resorted to questionable tactics, The Scottish Supernova nevertheless proved resourceful in defeating Mark Andrews, Kenny Williams and Wolfgang to earn a title bout with Bate.

Last week, Dar and Sha Samuels welcomed Bate and Seven to the latest edition of “Supernova Sessions,” and at the culmination of a tense interview, Dar sucker punched Bate in the face before scrambling out of the ring, setting the stage for what seems certain to be an explosive encounter.

Meanwhile, Gallus have recently butted heads with the dastardly combination of Teoman and Rohan Raja, and the two sides will renew hostilities when Mark Coffey and Raja engage in a slugfest.

After recently being defeated by Wolfgang in the semifinals of the NXT UK Heritage Cup No. 1 Contender’s Tournament, Teoman has vowed retribution and will sic his disciple upon one of his enemies.

Plus, after debuting with an impressive win over Josh Morrell, Charlie Dempsey attempts to improve to 2-0 when he tangles with Danny Jones, while Amale is back in action against Myla Grace.

Don’t miss a thrilling edition of NXT UK, streaming Thursday at 3 ET/8 BST on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
