The ink hadn\u2019t even dried on Samuels\u2019 odds chart before Sam Gradwell kicked off about having the longest odds at 4000\/1. Gradwell was so enraged at being placed at the bottom of the list &#8211; even Doink the Clown is above him on 100\/1 &#8211; that he didn\u2019t even notice his name was spelled wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The two will meet in the ring this week as a result.

She waited until McKenzie\u2019s mentor Meiko Satomura chose to take a trip back to Japan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The two have met before for PROGRESS and Defiant. Both women will surely be looking to challenge for the NXT UK Women\u2019s Championship in 2022. If this match is the start of a feud between the two then surely the overall winner could lay a claim at a title shot. Davenport will be more eager to rustle the feathers of NXT UK Women\u2019s Champion Satomura. McKenzie would want to continue to show her respect but how long will she be happy to sit in the background of the Champion?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BDavenportWWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@BDavenportWWE<\/a> continues to give <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMckenzieWWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MMckenzieWWE<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTUK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTUK<\/a> Women&#39;s Champion <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/satomurameiko?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@satomurameiko<\/a> a hard time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But why?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xY49JSSjg2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/xY49JSSjg2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1466502480762658826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 2, 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\">Can Moustache Mountain Finally Win NXT UK Tag Team Gold?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pretty Deadly has had a pretty decent year. They won the NXT UK Tag Team Championship in February and have spent the past 10 months proving their worth. The team of Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley have successfully defended their titles against the best NXT UK has to offer and contributed some hilarious commentary and vignettes. Simply put, there\u2019s not much of a hotter act in WWE at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There\u2019s absolutely no reason for Pretty Deadly to drop the NXT UK Tag Team Championship. Except for the fact, Moustache Mountain has never held the belts. This fact blows more minds than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t6IW9DLIFlc\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Derren Brown UK tour<\/a>. When Tyler Bate and Trent Seven took on <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2019\/01\/13\/andnew-two-new-champions-crowned-at-nxt-uk-takeover-blackpool\/\" target=\"_self\">Zack Gibson and James Drake to crown the inaugural NXT UK Tag champs<\/a> you\u2019d have put your house on Bate and Seven winning. They didn&#8217;t. That match took place almost three years ago. No tag team will ever be as synonymous with NXT UK as Bate and Seven. But for the perfect story, they need to hold the gold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the last few months, Bate lost his Heritage Cup Championship as a result of Seven accidentally throwing in the towel when Pretty Deadly interfered. This has hinted at Seven holding Bate back. If Moustache Mountain doesn\u2019t win the titles, Bate may turn his back on Seven for good.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEXT WEEK on <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\/PrettyDeadly?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#PrettyDeadly<\/a> put the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NXTUK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TagTeamTitles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#TagTeamTitles<\/a> on the line against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MoustacheMountain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#MoustacheMountain<\/a>.
