Lewis Howley and Sam Stoker have seen any tag team match as a personal invitation for them to contribute guest commentary. They\u2019ve been brash about themselves and cutting about the in-ring competitors.<\/p>\n<p>Subculture &#8211; the stable comprising <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/05\/23\/mark-andrews-has-a-new-podcast\/\" target=\"_self\">Mark Andrews<\/a>, Flash Morgan Webster, and Dani Luna &#8211; confronted Pretty Deadly after they trash-talked over one of their matches. They challenged them to put their money (Tag Team Championship) where their mouths are. But Pretty Deadly said they\u2019d have to earn a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Andrews will fight Lewis Howley and if he wins Subculture will get their shot.<\/p>\n<h3>Blair Davenport Will Debut<\/h3>\n<p>England will play football against Italy in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/08\/england-v-italy-11-july-2021\/\" target=\"_self\">final of the European Championships<\/a> on Sunday and this match will act as a perfect warm-up. The English-New Zealand <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/07\/01\/blair-davenport-formerly-known-as-bea-priestley-arrives-in-nxt-uk\/\" target=\"_self\">Blair Davenport (formally known as Bea Priestley)<\/a> will debut against the Italian Laura Di Matteo. Di Matteo made her debut a few weeks ago and didn\u2019t get much of a chance to show what she\u2019s worth. Hopefully, she\u2019ll get in a bit more offense in this match even though it will all be about hyping up Blair Davenport.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud835\udc69\ud835\udc8d\ud835\udc82\ud835\udc8a\ud835\udc93 \ud835\udc6b\ud835\udc82\ud835\udc97\ud835\udc86\ud835\udc8f\ud835\udc91\ud835\udc90\ud835\udc93\ud835\udc95 is coming to <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\/SPqYnMJboQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/SPqYnMJboQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NXT UK (@NXTUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK\/status\/1410697388537356294?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 1, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Will The Cockroach Outlast The Peacock?<\/h3>\n<p>Kenny Williams&#8217; disdain for Nathan Frazer was at first a little odd. He seemed to devalue Frazer because he was training in the gym with \u2018old men\u2019 instead of proving himself against current superstars in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>But last week Williams added some layers to his beef with Frazer. He said Frazer was nothing but a proud peacock that would never last. Williams sees himself as the scum of the earth and similar to the indestructible cockroach. Williams will get the chance to prove he can outlast Frazer and live up to his claims.<\/p>\n<h3>Dennis Looks To Prove He Still Has Seven\u2019s Number<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How long has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/trentseven?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@trentseven<\/a> been harping on about \u2018building the brand\u2019?!? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NXTUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NXTUK<\/a>, Thursday night at 8pm, it\u2019s on. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y1Pj4aXqra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/y1Pj4aXqra<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Eddie Dennis (@EddieDennis1986) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EddieDennis1986\/status\/1411693855896899587?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 4, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Trent Seven has been vocal about his pride in being a \u2018founding father\u2019 of NXT UK. These claims have unsurprisingly brought some heels that have been with NXT UK since its inception out of the woodwork. First Sam Gradwell tried &#8211; and failed &#8211; to prove he was as much of an originator as Seven. Now, Eddie Dennis has taken umbrage with Seven\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>But Dennis has something Gradwell didn\u2019t. A win against Seven on one of the biggest nights in NXT UK\u2019s history &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/2869920-wwe-nxt-uk-takeover-blackpool-ii-results-winners-grades-reaction-highlights\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Takeover: Blackpool II<\/a>. There\u2019s controversy surrounding Dennis\u2019 win that night, which was aided by an exposed turnbuckle. Seven has avenged that loss but \u201cThe Swansea Savant\u201d has still enjoyed reminding him of it. Seven will look to shut Dennis&#8217;s mouth once and for all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"mWis6roaR5l7eW-XgaDUrw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ie\/detail\/1297345098\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'mWis6roaR5l7eW-XgaDUrw',sig:'Un4xjv5Q7aea6ox8L4gwXCFTiINvJGokhIveEifV5RE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1297345098',caption: true ,tld:'ie',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
