As per the tournament rules of British rounds, the two had six rounds to contest their match in, but in the end, they were forced into sudden-death overtime after going to a 1-1 draw in the match. Ultimately, the plucky Spaniard forced &#8216;The Don&#8217; into submission to hoist the trophy, which was presented to him by the assistant to the general manager, <strong>Sid Scala<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The win marks A-Kid&#8217;s first championship victory in <em><strong>NXT UK<\/strong><\/em>, having officially signed with the brand last October. Of course, he and <strong>Team WhiteWolf<\/strong> pal <strong>Carlos Romo<\/strong> had previously appeared during a set of <em>NXT UK<\/em> tapings in Glasgow, losing to hometown boys, <strong>Gallus<\/strong> (<strong>Mark Coffey<\/strong> and <strong>Wolfgang<\/strong>). Since properly joining the brand, however, A-Kid has become one of the fastest rising stars the brand has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, the NXT UK Heritage Cup will make for a phenomenal addition to the weekly shows.
