The history between these two dates all the way back to 2012 when the pair shared a ring for the first time in a Rumble Match at a <strong>RAD:PRO Wrestling<\/strong> event, and ever since, they&#8217;ve battled over the <strong>Fierce Females (FF)<\/strong> Scottish Women&#8217;s Championship, the <strong>World of Sport Wrestling (WOS)<\/strong> Women&#8217;s Championship, and the <strong>Pro Wrestling: EVE<\/strong> Championship, amongst others. We could go on and on as it pertains to the duo&#8217;s backstory, however, their history in <em>NXT UK<\/em> isn&#8217;t exactly new either. Both Piper and former champion <strong>Toni Storm<\/strong> challenged &#8216;The Queen of Insanity&#8217; for the title at <em><strong>NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II<\/strong><\/em> in unsuccessful fashion, while this match will mark Niven&#8217;s first one on one opportunity at the championship. Will she be the one to bring an end to KLR&#8217;s record-breaking title reign?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/yYirDj9\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"source: imgur.com\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yYirDj9.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>NXT UK Heritage Cup Tournament Drawing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before the <em>NXT UK<\/em> Heritage Cup Tournament officially kicks off, the drawing of the tournament brackets will be drawn this week, with former <em>NXT UK<\/em> Champion, &#8216;The Bruiserweight&#8217; <strong>Pete Dunne<\/strong> making a return to the brand he helped build to assist with the drawing. At the time of writing, <strong>Flash Morgan Webster<\/strong>, <strong>Noam Dar<\/strong>, <strong>Alexander Wolfe<\/strong>, <strong>A-Kid<\/strong>, <strong>Dave Mastiff<\/strong>, <strong>Joseph Conners<\/strong>, and <strong>Trent Seven<\/strong> have all been announced for the tournament, with the eighth and final entrant being a wildcard entrant. Dunne&#8217;s last official appearance in an <em>NXT UK<\/em> ring came in June 2019, as &#8216;The Bruiserweight&#8217; teamed with his <strong>British Strong Style<\/strong> partners in a losing effort to <strong>Imperium<\/strong>. Of course, Dunne has reached massive success since then, capturing the <em><strong>NXT<\/strong> <\/em>Tag Team Championships this past February. Who knows, maybe he&#8217;ll be the wildcard final entrant.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A special look at the Superstars vying for the Heritage Cup: NXT UK, Sept. 17, 2020\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zaVxeUduMmo?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><strong>Gallus&#8217; Next Challengers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Following their victory over <strong>Kenny Williams<\/strong> and <strong>Amir Jordan<\/strong> in last week&#8217;s opening match, the reigning <em>NXT UK<\/em> Tag Team Champions, <strong>Gallus<\/strong> (<strong>Mark Coffey<\/strong> and <strong>Wolfgang<\/strong>) were confronted by a slew of other pairings from <em>NXT UK<\/em>&#8216;s doubles division. <strong>Ashton Smith<\/strong> and <strong>Oliver Carter<\/strong>, <strong>South Wales Subculture<\/strong> (<strong>Mark Andrews<\/strong> and Flash Morgan Webster), <strong>The Hunt<\/strong> (<strong>Wild Boar<\/strong> and<strong> The Primate<\/strong>), and <strong>Pretty Deadly<\/strong> (<strong>Lewis Howley<\/strong> and <strong>Sam Stoker<\/strong>) all surrounded the ringside area, while Imperium (<strong>Fabian Aichner<\/strong> and <strong>Marcel Barthel<\/strong>) looked on via the video screens. <em>NXT UK<\/em>&#8216;s tag team division has never exactly been short of talent, and this segment proved it, however, which of these teams has what it takes to be next in line at challenging &#8216;The Power Forward&#8217; and &#8216;The Regulator&#8217;?<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<p>Stay tuned to the<a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
