WWE United Kingdom Championship: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

WWE's two-night, sixteen-man United Kingdom Championship tournament emanated from Blackpool this past weekend and blew the roof off the buzzing Empress Ballroom.

With rumours that WWE aims to expand their business with the return of the old-school territory system, the birth of the UK Championship has got things off to an encouraging start by fostering a wealth of terrific talent.

Sure, not every match was great as is the norm for the tournament formula, but there were a number of highly memorable bouts and not a single stinker among the sixteen matches that took place

Now it just remains to be seen whether the rumoured weekly WWE UK show will come to fruition, or perhaps these territories will be restricted to Network specials every so often. And of course, with the UK edition being such a huge hit already, which country will be next?

Here is every WWE United Kingdom Championship tournament match ranked from worst to best...

Result: Trent destroys Dyer with a hellacious Seven Star Lariat (5:25) to advance.

Rating: The crowd loved Trent Seven (complete with "Mustache Mountain" chants) which added a lot to this one, and the sheer surreal factor of hearing Michael Cole say "vintage Trent Seven" made it worth watching alone.

It's at least encouraging that the weakest match from the entire tournament was still totally watchable and a fine opener even if it didn't set the ring on fire.

Seven was without question the right guy to win here, though it'll be interesting to see how Vince reacts to his unconventional physique if WWE decides to move forward with him. 5/10
