NXT UK<\/strong> will feature both the Heritage Cup<\/em> and Women\u2019s title on the line as well as a colossal head-to-head between WALTER<\/strong> and Ilja Dragunov<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Heritage Cup Opportunity For Mark Coffey\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Tyler Bate<\/strong> may be in the best form of his career. His upward trajectory which led to him winning the Heritage Cup Championship<\/a> was more gradual than his earlier successes. The night he won the inaugural United Kingdom Championship may be more memorable but the last few months have been impressive.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This makes him a logical, albeit dangerous, person for Mark Coffey<\/strong> to challenge. Coffey took a pop at Bate and staked his claim for a shot at the Cup after \u201cThe Big Strong Boy\u201d had defeated Jack Starz<\/strong> in his last Cup defense a few weeks ago. Coffey is currently playing a game of one-upmanship with his Gallus<\/strong> stablemate Wolfgang<\/strong>. If Coffey can defeat Bate for the Heritage Cup<\/em> it is hard to see how Wolfgang can match him. It is more likely that Bate will win and then Wolfgang will get his chance at the Cup later.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Teoman And Raja Make Their Debut As A Team<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Teoman<\/strong> has taken umbrage to Oliver Carter<\/strong> and Ashton Smith<\/strong> for a while now. The devoted family man dislikes their partnership and looks down on them for not being family. Teoman has defeated them both in singles action. \u201cThe Babo\u201d has now taken Rohan Raja<\/strong> under his wing and will use this match as a test of his newfound loyalty.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Family is loyalty.<\/p>\n
