6 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE NXT UK (27 May)

4. Starz, Stripes, And Gold?

Is Piper Niven set to become the next Chyna by being an NXT UK Tag Team Champion? That’s the vibe your writer got from Pretty Deadly’s confrontation with Jack Starz.

Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley approached Starz backstage, with Jack evidently upset that Piper hasn’t been around for a few weeks. Cue the sideplate check from the current tag champs, before Starz informed the duo that he has no problem with taking them both on, showing as much flair as he’s ever possessed. A typical heel response saw Sam and Lewis bring out the ‘we don’t make the matches’ card, before telling Jack he’d need to find a friend first.

Who else would team with Jack Starz? The guy used to be the go-to jobber for the brand. He’s not exactly got the greatest track record, having just three televised wins since joining WWE in 2017. It simply makes sense for it to be Piper. WWE have slowly began reintroducing intergender wrestling to a tiny, tiny extent, after all. Randy Orton RKOing Nia Jax at the 2019 Royal Rumble is evidence enough that this could be feasible.
