Then known as <strong>Ben Carter<\/strong>, he came out of that appearance with an NXT Cruiserweight Championship match against <strong>Jordan Devlin<\/strong>. Frazer\u00a0will hope to end the segment with similar success. Could we see the return of Devlin, now without the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/04\/08\/santos-escobar-undisputed-nxt-cruiserweight-champion\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">title he lost to <strong>Santos Escobar<\/strong><\/a>, and history repeating itself?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Frazer has been having decent &#8211; if brief &#8211; matches on NXT UK but we need to see his personality shine through. There\u2019s scope for Noam Dar\u2019s larger-than-life persona to overshadow him. Sometimes, Supernova Sessions are cringeworthy, but on occasion, they can be entertaining. Matches always seemed to be booked during these segments, so it&#8217;s worth paying attention to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yCU0w51.jpg\" alt=\"NXT UK 5\/6\/21\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who Will Get Madder: Mastiff or Dragunov?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dave Mastiff challenged Ilja Dragunov to this match last week, claiming they both needed a win. Mastiff probably needs one more than &#8220;The Moscow Madman.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mastiff has come out on the losing end of decent and high-profile matches for most of the year. He lost to <strong>Tyler Bate<\/strong> in an entertaining <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/11\/26\/andnew-a-kid-heritage-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Heritage Rules Match<\/a> a few weeks ago. &#8220;The Bomber&#8221; also has recent losses to <strong>Rampage Brown<\/strong> and <strong>Sam Gradwel<\/strong>l on record. A win against Dragunov could be the spark he needs to put together enough wins to challenge <strong>WALTER<\/strong> again for the NXT UK\u00a0Championship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dragunov came out on top in his decent feud with <strong>Sam Gradwell<\/strong> last time we saw the former in the ring. However, Dragunov&#8217;s ongoing rage issues leave him vulnerable to DQ losses. If he can overcome the giant Mastiff, and keep his anger in check, it\u2019ll be a very successful night for Dragunov.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-90920 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/05\/nxt-uk-5-6-21.jpg\" alt=\"NXT UK 5\/6\/21\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/05\/nxt-uk-5-6-21.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/05\/nxt-uk-5-6-21-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loser Leaves NXT UK<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Kenny Williams<\/strong> and <strong>Amir Jordan<\/strong> have had one of the best storylines this year in NXT UK. Williams returned from a lengthy layoff to reform their tag team. Jordan needed this as he\u2019d been floundering without his partner. Williams, however, was different. He developed a tactic for cheating &#8211; or &#8220;bending the rules&#8221; as <strong>Nigel McGuinness<\/strong> called it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Jordan was disappointed in his partner and tried to convince him they didn\u2019t need to sink to dirty tactics. When they met <strong>Pretty Deadly<\/strong> for an NXT UK Tag Team Championship match, Williams deserted Jordan and their hopes of winning gold. They met one-on-one a few weeks ago. Williams got the win thanks to &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; &#8220;bending of the rules.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this rematch, anything goes, so Jordan can stoop to his former partner\u2019s level. It should be an extreme match. Expect high flying and use of weapons from both. The interesting issue is, where the loser will go? A one-way ticket to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando seems the only logical place. Of the two, Williams would probably be able to make a name for himself better than Jordan in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The sinister <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IslaDawn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@IslaDawn<\/a> is prepared to make a grave sacrifice to become the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTUK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTUK<\/a> Women\u2019s Champion. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mDqJksYVIB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/mDqJksYVIB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1390041419423920135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Else Might We See on NXT UK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last week, it was announced we would see a women\u2019s gauntlet match to pick the next opponent for <strong>Kay Lee Ray<\/strong>\u2019s NXT UK Women\u2019s Championship.
