3 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE NXT UK (6 May)

2. Five Promos, One Story

This needs to be stated first; your writer is very much looking forward to next Thursday’s five-woman gauntlet match. So long as the order of the entrants makes sense, there are going to be some bangers in there.

The pre-match promos on last night’s show, however? They were trash.

Xia Brookside, Isla Dawn, Jinny, Dani Luna, and Emilia McKenzie all had the same story. They were going to win the match. They’ve all worked their butts off, after all; they all have to be the one to take the title from Kay Lee Ray.

Jinny’s was arguably the worst of the lot. Not in the sense that it was a bad promo because she’s one hell of a talker, but because what she said didn’t make any sense. Of the five women involved in the bout, she’s the only one whose actually challenged for the title. ‘The Fashionista’ failed to take the strap from both KLR and Toni Storm. What’s so different about this opportunity?

Ah yes, because she’s got to get past four other contenders first. She must be winning then. Spoiler alert; it’s all but confirmed to be an Emilia McKenzie victory.
