A can’t-miss edition of NXT UK will play host to Jordan Devlin challenging Ilja Dragunov for the NXT UK Championship, Gallus colliding with Die Familie in a slugfest, and Amale tangling with recent tormentor Jinny.

A couple of minutes was all The Irish Ace required to challenge The Czar and make their issues highly personal, as he claimed that he would beat the champion so viciously that Dragunov’s son would “have to grow up taking care of his daddy.” Devlin was immediately met with a right to the jaw and a barrage of fists before the melee was broken up by NXT UK officials.

While Devlin crossed the line in his first confrontation with the champion, no one can argue with his track record, as Devlin is the longest-reigning NXT Cruiserweight Champion in history and boasts one of the highest winning percentages of any Superstar in NXT UK.

Plus, The Coffey Brothers and Wolfgang will look to settle the score with Teoman, Rohan Raja and Charlie Dempsey in a battle between two of the most menacing trios in NXT UK history.

Gallus have been seeking payback ever since Dempsey shockingly joined ranks with Teoman and Raja and unleashed a savage beatdown to leave all three Gallus members in a crumbled heap.

Finally, after picking up a big win over Stevie Turner following a backstage confrontation, Amale will come face-to-face with her other antagonizerantagonist, Jinny. Can Amale go two-for-two against her newfound enemies, or will The Fashionista have a trick up her sleeve for The French Hope?
