Strong makes highly anticipated NXT UK debut in melee with Wolfgang

Published Mar. 17, 2022 10:34 a.m. ET

A thrilling edition of NXT UK is set to feature Roderick Strong competing in his first match on the brand against the towering Wolfgang, Tyler Bate battling Oliver Carter in a high-stakes bout, and much more.

Strong isn’t exactly sticking his toe in the water in his first voyage to NXT UK. Instead, he’ll take on The Last King of Scotland, a bruising competitor and a former NXT UK Tag Team Champion.

Can The Messiah of the Backbreaker rely on his incredible ring acumen to overcome the considerable size discrepancy, or will Wolfgang welcome Strong to the brand as only he can?

Meanwhile, after he and Trent Seven retained the tandem titles in controversial fashion against Carter and Ashton Smith, The Big Strong Boi is set for an important singles clash with Carter.

Moustache Mountain have made it clear that they’re open to a championship rematch with Smith and Carter, but they believe their prospective challengers first need to prove themselves in a pair of singles contests.

Plus, Emilia McKenzie is set for battle against Nina Samuels after Samuels tried to antagonize her on the latest episode of “The Nina Samuels Show,” and Aleah James and Stevie Turner are primed to settle their issues in the squared circle following last week’s verbal confrontation in the backstage area.

Don’t miss an amazing episode of NXT UK, streaming Thursday at 4 ET/8 GMT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
