Amale claims that outcome was a fluke and that she\u2019s ready to carry the hope of all of France on her shoulders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know she will return to the ring but her opponent is unnamed.

Mark and Joe Coffey got involved in that match, leaving Teoman and Rohan Raja outnumbered. Teoman has promised change is coming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, a brawl broke out between Teoman and Raja and the whole of Gallus whilst Charlie Dempsey was giving an interview. As a result Raja will face Mark Coffey this week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CharlieDempsey?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#CharlieDempsey<\/a>\u2019s interview gets cut short and gets a reminder of just how physical the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTUK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTUK<\/a> roster is! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XGfHIjWJgd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/XGfHIjWJgd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1451298351215951872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Heritage Rules Match<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last time Tyler Bate and Noam Dar squared off in a Heritage Rules match it was WrestleMania week as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/04\/08\/nxt-uk-prelude-results-and-analysis-4-8-21\/\" target=\"_self\">NXT UK Prelude<\/a>. Bate won that match to earn a shot at the Heritage Cup champion A-Kid. He won that and has been enjoying an impressive championship reign since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dar, on the other hand, had to go through a gruelling Heritage Cup No.1 Contender tournament to finally get a shot at the championship. Some could argue Dar has been too preoccupied with his Supernova Sessions chat show and creating casual beef with his guests to focus on any championship. It seems crazy that he has never held a title despite being in the WWE system since 2016. But Dar believes it is Bate who is preoccupied. Dar claimed that Bate is overlooking him and wasting his time concentrating on remaining in a tag team with Trent Seven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dar is an expert at making empty claims. If there\u2019s any truth to his theory we could see Bate lose the Cup and Dar finally win gold.\u00a0 Furthermore, Bate dropping the Cup could be the first step in the implosion of Moustache Mountain. What a journey that would be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Can <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NoamDar?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NoamDar<\/a> take down <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TylerBate?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#TylerBate<\/a> for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTUK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTUK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HeritageCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#HeritageCup<\/a> next week?! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cNFjIGWcmk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/cNFjIGWcmk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1451300215445770246?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
