The question is, if <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/08\/22\/ilja-dragunov-nxt-united-kingdom-championship-takeover\/\" target=\"_self\">NXT UK Champion <strong>Ilja Dragunov<\/strong><\/a> had given it to her, would she have thrown it back in his face? Dragunov happily agreed to give<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/10\/29\/rampage-brown-to-join-nxt-uk\/\" target=\"_self\">Rampage Brown<\/a><\/strong> a title shot but when he went one further and told the Yorkshireman he respected him, Brown beat him up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brown says he doesn\u2019t want Dragunov&#8217;s respect, just his title. Dragunov is relishing being a positive symbol for the NXT UK fans so will want to leave with his championship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ilja Dragunov and Rampage Brown are set to square off next Thursday: NXT UK, Nov. 25, 2021\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BQjV5hqG6cI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Daddy\u2019s Little Champion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We have seen a new side of Xia Brookside recently. Gone is the lovable and plucky underdog. Brookside had been on a losing streak and has changed to try and turn things around. The daughter of British wrestling legend and NXT Producer\/ Trainer Robbie Brookside, has used her connections to get a shot at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/06\/10\/meiko-satomura-wins-nxt-uk-womens-championship\/\" target=\"_self\">Meiko Satomura\u2019s NXT UK Women\u2019s Championship<\/a>. This interesting thing about this match will be how far Brookside is willing to go to become champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Brookside will need more than family ties to topple Satomura. It has been an exceptional first year in NXT UK for Satomura and she will almost certainly see it out as champion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congratulations @XiaBrooksideWWE&#8230; you get your opportunity. <br \/>Next week &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTUK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTUK<\/a> Women\u2019s Championship vs <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/satomurameiko?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@satomurameiko<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qL49ugjoVP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/qL49ugjoVP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sid Scala (@SidScala) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SidScala\/status\/1465070538381012998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Scum Culture\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Kenny Williams<\/strong> was once like<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/05\/23\/mark-andrews-has-a-new-podcast\/\" target=\"_self\">Mark Andrews<\/a><\/strong>. High-flying and exciting in the ring and extremely pleasant outside of it. But his heel turn has been dramatic. Williams first turned on his former tag team partner <strong>Amir Jordan<\/strong> and then forced him out of NXT UK for good. Now he spends his time cheating to victory and antagonizing the rest of the NXT UK roster. Never one to miss a chance to kick a man while he\u2019s down, Williams taunted <strong>Flash Morgan Webster<\/strong> as he found out he would need surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Andrews stood up for Webster and reminded Williams that he\u2019s still able to compete. It is unconfirmed when the two will go one-on-one, but it seems very likely it\u2019ll be this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/h3>\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.
