4 Ups And 4 Downs From NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff
Ups...
4. A Buzzing Curtain-Raiser
Although nothing exceptional, the WWE's first PPV visit to Wales proper opened in very promising fashion, as Noam Dar dispatched Kiwi Buzzsaw Travis Banks to mark his first big show match since Extreme Rules 2017 (a defeat alongside Alicia Fox to Rich Swann and Sasha Banks, would you believe).
Broadly typical of its bigger NXT cousin's usual opening fare sans stakes, Banks and Dar put on fast and furious affair that was mindful not to steal the show early given what was to come both immediately, and later. Bang tidy.
