This follows in the footsteps of last week&#8217;s tournament drawing, as Dar and Wolfe were the final two names left in the hat following the drawing of the other three matches. Just as &#8216;The Scottish Supernova&#8217; attempted to cheapshot the <strong>Imperium<\/strong> member, he was stopped in his tracks by &#8216;The Bruiserweight&#8217;, who proceeded to snap the fingers of the former <em><strong>205 Live<\/strong><\/em> star. Throughout his <strong>WWE<\/strong> career, Dunne hasn&#8217;t exactly been known to play by the rules at all times, so it&#8217;ll certainly be interesting to see whether or not he enforces the rules now that he&#8217;s in charge for a match.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/Ep9Utbs\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"source: imgur.com\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Ep9Utbs.jpg?1\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Triple Threat Wildcard Match: Winner advances to the NXT UK Heritage Cup Tournament<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of the tournament, we know that two of the other matches in the quarterfinals will see <strong>Flash Morgan Webster<\/strong> battling <strong>A-Kid<\/strong>, while <strong>Joseph Conners<\/strong> comes head to head with <strong>Dave Mastiff<\/strong>. That leaves <strong>Trent Seven<\/strong>, who will collide with the mystery wildcard entry in the opening round. The wildcard entrant will be determined this week in the form of a Triple Threat Match, with none of the combatants actually being announced. While it may be one of the existing <em>NXT UK<\/em> roster members, it&#8217;s possible it could be a match full of new faces.

Both <strong>Jinny<\/strong> and <strong>Nina Samuels<\/strong> have made their intentions clear of being after the championship, while <strong>Aoife Valkyrie<\/strong> has slowly been rising through the ranks since her arrival earlier this year.
