Six rounds lasting three minutes apiece, with two falls either by pinfall, submission, or knockout to win. The Knockout Artist was firmly in control for a good chunk of time, racking up a fall in the third round with one of his many elbow variations. Scala did put up quite the valiant fight, coming oh so close to evening the score in the later rounds, but time wouldn&#8217;t be on his side in round six as his backslide on Ohno would come to an end as the time limit ran out on the count of two. An unfortunate end to things for <strong>Johnny Saint<\/strong>&#8216;s assistant, but quite the showing nonetheless.

Ripley easily took down The Whole Shebang, using every ounce of power in her body to toss Keitel away, eventually downing her with her signature Riptide pump handle powerbomb. Following the match, Rhea stated that it was time for her to reclaim the NXT UK Women&#8217;s Championship, before claiming that there wasn&#8217;t a single lady in the <em>NXT UK<\/em> locker room that could stand toe to toe with her. Enter <strong>Jinny<\/strong> alongside her partner-in-crime <strong>Jazzy Gabert<\/strong>. The Fashionista told Rhea that she would indeed be the next Women&#8217;s Champion, following up by sending Gabert in after Ripley.

For the most part, Banks used his speed advantage to escape the wrath of T-Bone at certain moments, utilising some quick kicks and his signature tope suicida to down the Englishman. Although the hard-hitting T-Bone proved to be a tough match for The Kiwi Buzzsaw, it wasn&#8217;t enough down Travis as a small package allowed him to pick up the victory.
