The Coffeys dominated early with their strength, but Andrews and Webster opened the match up with their speed and agility. Gallus had to try to keep up with Andrews and Webster, and though the Coffeys took a lot of high-flying moves, when they did get their hands on their much smaller opponents, Joe and Mark dominated once again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTrent Seven does some squats.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA video package promo for Nina Samuels.

After the initial feeling out process, Shane Thorne started to focus on Seven&#8217;s shoulder. That would be Thorne&#8217;s main focus, and it was the focus of the match as well. Seven had to fight through the pain and try to string together a few big moves to get Thorne down. This was a nicely done match, and I like Thorne&#8217;s aggressiveness. Thorne was kicking and hitting and doing everything he could to get an advantage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJack Gallagher thinks he might go talk to Johnny Saint about competing in NXT UK.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>UK Performance Center<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJoseph Conners says Ligero caught him on an off day in their last match, but Conners&#8217; off dayre behind him now.

Gibson says he and Drake are the best. He also says he&#8217;d rather be back home taking it easy, but he had to travel to the USA to educate some ignorant yanks about UK wrestling. Drake and Gibson shouldn&#8217;t have to travel to the USA to compete, the tag teams of NXT should travel to the UK, because Drake and Gibson have set the standard for tag team wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch come out to the stage. Burch tells Gibson to shut up. Burch says that he&#8217;s proud to be British, but &#8216;s also proud to represent NXT. He&#8217;s also proud to have Oney Lorcan as his partner. Since everyone is here, why not fight right now? Burch and Lorcan head to the ring, but Gibson and Drake leave and head up the ramp.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>NXT Women&#8217;s Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Rhea Ripley vs Toni Storm<\/strong> (NXT Women&#8217;s Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: DA Brewer)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e5eacb44218','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e5eacb44218\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e5eacb44218\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Toni Storm wins via pinfall after Storm Zero<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 11:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nVery good match. I almost expected this to go longer, but it was a very entertaining and hard fought match. Ripley attacked Storm before the match started which allowed Storm to mount a comeback right from the start. This was a good step forward for Storm, and I don&#8217;t think it really hurts Ripley. It just seems like it&#8217;s time for Storm to move on to another challenger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nGood show. Three solid matches. I feel like having Gibson and Drake cut a promo in front of the Phoenix crowd didn&#8217;t get the reaction they wanted though. Gibson gets booed out of the venue in the UK, but the people tonight didn&#8217;t really react much. That was a shame, but everything else on the show seemed to be well received by the live audience.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Rhea Ripley vs Toni Storm<\/strong><br \/>\nA good title match, and a good first defense for Storm. I think she&#8217;s going to hold that title for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/nxtuk\/2019-2-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/nxtuk\/2019-2-20<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toni Storm defends the NXT UK Women&#8217;s Title against Rhea Ripley in a good episode of NXT UK that also featured Andrews &#038; Webster versus the Coffey brothers, and Shane Thorne versus Trent Seven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2228,297,622],"tags":[2240,2292,1660,748,2029,2346,536,2419,932,1299,2233,1291,1300,1147,2234,638,2229,2314,928,2123,2175,912,1375,1135,1365,7,2091],"class_list":["post-4807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nxt-uk","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-chris-sharpe","tag-coffey-brothers","tag-da-brewer","tag-danny-burch","tag-flash-morgan-webster","tag-gallus","tag-greg-hamilton","tag-grizzled-young-veterans","tag-jack-gallagher","tag-james-drake","tag-joe-coffey","tag-jordan-devlin","tag-joseph-conners","tag-mark-andrews","tag-mark-coffey","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-nxt-uk","tag-nxt-uk-womens-title-match","tag-oney-lorcan","tag-rhea-ripley","tag-sarah-schreiber","tag-shane-thorne","tag-toni-storm","tag-trent-seven","tag-vic-joseph","tag-wwe","tag-zack-gibson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4807"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4817,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4807\/revisions\/4817"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
