4 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE NXT UK (15 April)

Ups...

4. Pinkies Up

Two short and effective backstage promos perfectly laid the groundwork to create a tag team match for next Thursday; Noam Dar and Sha Samuels vs. Trent Seven and Tyler Bate.

Noam and Sha were up first, with ‘The Scottish Supernova’ fuming at his loss to Tyler in NXT UK Prelude’s Heritage Cup number one contender’s contest. The charisma the duo showed was enough to garner this an Up. Samuels, in particular, was in full Mug of the Week guise here, a subtle callback to followers of his famous Twitter series of videos.

As for Moustache Mountain, the former NXT Tag Team Champions didn’t show nearly enough enthusiasm as their opponents, but we can’t pick them apart for that. Bate noted how his mind is locked on his impending title clash with Heritage Cup holder A-Kid, but is more than eager to get Moustache Mountain back together.

A solid match surely awaits.
