An edge-of-your-seat episode of NXT UK will feature Nathan Frazer challenging Ilja Dragunov for the NXT UK Championship, Mark Coffey engaging Sha Samuels in a wild melee, and Jack Starz and Dave Mastiff pairing back up to take on Pretty Deadly.

Believing that tangling with Gunther in The Ring General’s NXT UK farewell match has helped him reach new heights, Frazer brazenly challenged the very Superstar that unseated Gunther as NXT UK Champion, Dragunov.

And while he came up short against Gunther, Frazer showed off his toughness after shaking off a brutal parking lot beating from Die Familie and feels he’s ready to stand toe-to-toe with Dragunov.

After doing the impossible and ending Gunther’s 870-day reign, Dragunov has turned back all challengers, edging A-Kid, Ramapge Brown and Jordan Devlin in some incredible championship bouts.

Can Frazer shock the world, or is Dragunov primed to improve to 4-0 in his title defenses?

Plus, after crossing paths and exchanging barbs at the BT Sport last week, Coffey and Samuels will take their hostilities to the squared circle for what should be a heated slugfest.

With Gallus having recently run afoul of Noam Dar and Sha Samuels and with Joe Coffey prepared to challenge The Scottish Supernova for the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship next week, which Superstar will pick up a critical victory?

Additionally, after going through some arduous and rather unique training sessions with Mastiff in recent weeks, Starz will attempt to put Mastiff’s teachings to good use when he battles alongside the gargantuan Superstar to take on former NXT UK Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly.
