Even though he built up some momentum and dove onto the former <strong>Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW)<\/strong> World Heavyweight and Zero-G Champion, Jordan still found himself defeated as Coffey struck him with the All The Best For The Bells discus lariat. Post-match, Joe called out <strong>Ilja Dragunov<\/strong>, still livid that the Russian star cost him the NXT UK Championship at <em><strong>TakeOver: Blackpool II<\/strong><\/em>.

Throughout the match, both teams kept the advantage in their ballpark for a chunk of time, with &#8216;The Regulator&#8217; flying onto Lorcan at one point in the match. How Oney&#8217;s ribs weren&#8217;t broken from having 250 lbs of Scottish meat flying at him is beyond this writer&#8217;s mind. A missed attempt at a moonsault from Wolfie didn&#8217;t seem to matter too much, as the Gallus boys remained on top, planting Danny Burch with their powerslam\/pouncing enzuigiri combination for the win.<\/p>\n<p>As if two victories out of a possible two wasn&#8217;t enough, the Glaswegian firm further established their dominance by executing a three on one beatdown on Ilja Dragunov after the bell. It was announced after the show went off the air that Joe Coffey will face Ilja in singles action next week.

The fans were clearly eager to see the Irish standout in action, as they showed their support for the ABBA-loving Woke Queen, who very nearly had the match on a few occasions early into the contest. After some nefarious tactics used by Amale, Valkyrie bounced back into things, kicking the French star in the head twice in a row. A flying Axe Kick off the top rope, known on the independent circuit as The Guillotine, marked it 1-0 for Aoife Valkyrie in an <em>NXT UK<\/em> ring.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dominating Dave<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That one was for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WalterAUT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@WalterAUT<\/a>!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaveMastiff?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DaveMastiff<\/a> <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:\/\/t.co\/yZQE59YP4y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/yZQE59YP4y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1228049934198415361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As he hopes to challenge <strong>WALTER<\/strong> for the NXT UK Championship at a later date, <strong>Dave Mastiff<\/strong> was in singles action this week against <em>NXT UK<\/em> original <strong>Saxon Huxley<\/strong>, a man who isn&#8217;t seen in <strong>WWE<\/strong> too much these days.
