Anything could happen on the latest edition of the NXT UK card, as no matches have been formally announced. We know for certain that NXT UK will air on the WWE Network and Peacock at 8 pm GMT\/3 pm EST on May 20. Fans in the UK can also watch the show an hour later on BT Sport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what we might see happen during the hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Predicted NXT UK Card<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Samuels And Frazer Likely To Fight<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sha Samuels and Nathan Frazer had a tense confrontation backstage last week, which climaxed in \u201cThe East London Butcher\u201d encouraging Frazer to get Sid Scala to book a match between the two for this week\u2019s show. We are yet to get official word from Scala that the match will happen but it seems pretty likely. The backstage clash was the latest in a feud between Frazer and the duo of Samuels and <strong>Noam Dar<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few weeks ago, Frazer and Dar met in a fantastic Heritage Rules match. Dar picked up the win thanks to an illegal assist from his running buddy Samuels. That match was set up when Frazer appeared on Supernova Sessions and was mocked by Samuels and Dar. So there\u2019s been anticipation for this Samuels and Frazer bout for a while. It will be interesting to see the mix of styles between Frazer\u2019s high-flying and Samuels\u2019 brawler offense. With Samuels and Frazer likely to fight, what else might we see?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A fired-up <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWEFrazer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@WWEFrazer<\/a> laid down the challenge to the brute <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Shasamuels?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Shasamuels<\/a>!<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\/sURDDpN2TD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/sURDDpN2TD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1395756576653328384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><b>Will Gradwell Prove He\u2019s Equal Founding Father To Seven?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Sam Gradwell<\/strong> has been irked by <strong>Trent Seven<\/strong> for quite a while now. He is particularly annoyed that Seven has the reputation of being a founding father of NXT UK and he doesn\u2019t. Gradwell does have a bit of a point. They both signed their NXT UK contracts on the same day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout May, Gradwell and Seven have had backstage confrontations, including a physical interaction in the workout room.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, Gradwell stormed into Sid Scala\u2019s office and said he wanted payback for Seven\u2019s \u2018unprovoked assault in the workplace\u2019 on him.
