It was an entertaining segment in which Samuels and Dar channeled the 52 percent of the country that voted to leave the EU and accused Frazer of not being properly British.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Frazer will attempt to prove he can handle the British style of wrestling and defeat Dar \u2018at his own game.&#8217; Dar will be looking to live up to his running buddy Samuels\u2019 claim that he is the best British wrestler. It\u2019ll be an interesting match that could go either way. If Samuels is at ringside, expect Dar to take a loss in one round through DQ and win the next one against a battered Frazer.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who Will Run The Gauntlet and Challenge Kay Lee Ray?<\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMckenzieWWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MMckenzieWWE<\/a>, @XiaBrooksideWWE, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaniLuna_pro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DaniLuna_pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JinnyCouture?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@JinnyCouture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IslaDawn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@IslaDawn<\/a> are set to clash in a No. 1 Contender\u2019s Gauntlet Match TOMORROW on <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\/RfwMObD2xx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/RfwMObD2xx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1392496515667701769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NXT UK has been slowly building its women\u2019s division to quietly rival any other promotion. Here, five of these women will look to get the next shot at long-reigning champion <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2019\/01\/16\/who-is-kay-lee-ray\/\" target=\"_self\">Kay Lee Ray<\/a>. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The main question going into the match is whether or not <strong>Xia Brookside<\/strong> will be fit to compete. Brookside was viciously attacked last week by \u201cFrench Hope\u201d <strong>Amale<\/strong>. Amale will hope she\u2019s done enough damage to take Brookside out of the match and force her way into it. It would be a weird move for GM Johnny Saint to reward such treacherous behavior but seems like the decision<strong> Sid Scala<\/strong> might make in his absence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Either way, I doubt Amale or Brookside will be winning this match. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/04\/01\/millie-mckenzie-stevie-turner-debuts-nxt-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Emilia McKenzie &#8211; as the newest, yet most established member of the roster<\/a> &#8211; seems the odds on favorite. The powers that be may wish to wait until live crowds are back to give McKenzie the big win she deserves. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Isla Dawn<\/strong> has undergone a decent transformation to play more on her white witch character and has had some big wins. She claims to have sacrificed her soul &#8211; and friendship with Kay Lee Ray &#8211; to get a place in the match so it would make storyline sense for her to win. Jinny had a shot at the title in January so it is unlikely she\u2019ll get the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Which leaves Dani Luna. Luna is stronger and more powerful than anyone else in this match and has looked very impressive this year. A match between her and Kay Lee Ray seems inevitable. If KLR is going to be the \u201cForever Champion\u201d for a bit longer, victory over Luna seems likely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Else Could Happen?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite the fact the gauntlet and Heritage Rules matches will take up a lot of time, NXT UK will probably include a third match. It won\u2019t be long though so will likely be used to build someone up.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Expect the latest development in the ongoing saga between <strong>Sam Gradwell<\/strong> and <strong>Trent Seven<\/strong> and a final look at <strong>A-Kid<\/strong> and <strong>Tyler Bate<\/strong> before they meet for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/11\/26\/andnew-a-kid-heritage-cup\/\" target=\"_self\">Heritage Cup<\/a>\u00a0next week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>More from LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
