Ligero is fun to watch, and Drake is easy to dislike. I liked how these two men worked together. It wasn&#8217;t a terribly long match, but you could get a pretty good sense of what they can both do in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRadzi welcomes Toni Storm. Storm faces Dakota Kai next week, and she has no question that she will win. Dakota Kai, who was apparently standing right behind Storm, says she respects Toni. Kai says she&#8217;s willing to kick anyone in the head to get what she wants though, and that includes Toni Storm. The two women agree to some friendly competition.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA look at Ashton Smith.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Selfie Promo<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nZack Gibson says he will soon become champ.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAshton Smith begins to head to the ring for a match, but Wolfgang and the Coffey brothers attack him on the stage. They throw Smith to the backstage area before heading to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Coffey doesn&#8217;t care that no one likes him. He likes to surround himself with people of the same mentality, such as Mark Coffey and Wolfgang. Joe sees NXT UK as a hierarchy, and if you&#8217;re not on top, you&#8217;ll be disposed of. NXT UK is Coffey&#8217;s kingdom.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRadzi asks Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster why they are waiting outside Johnny Saint&#8217;s office. They want to ask Saint about settling business with the Coffey brothers and Wolfgang.

This was a showcase for Dennis, and he looked fine. He&#8217;s certainly taller than Scala, I&#8217;ll give him that.

Dunne didn&#8217;t seem to take Burch too seriously for parts of this match, and he paid for that. Burch brought a great fight to Dunne, and both men pushed each other to the limit.
