Boris Roberto Aguilar

The show kicked off with highlights from NXT World’s Collide. We then went straight to the WWE Performance Center where we were welcomed by Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett.

Tyler Bate made his entrance and was ready to cut a promo in the ring. Bate thanked the fans for the support at Worlds Collide and for supporting NXT UK. He then said that he would be known as the first and last NXT UK champion…..

Out came Gallus (Mark COffey, Joe Coffey, and Wolfgang). They had some choice words for Bate as they told him that he let down the entire UK because he couldn’t win the unification match for NXT UK. Bate then reminded Gallus that they lost their Tag Team unification match also. Joe said it doesn’t matter because there are three of them and only one of him. Gallus went into the ring and Bate tried to fend them off as best as possible but the numbers game was too much. Bron Breakker came out for the save and grabbed a mic. Breakker said that last Sunday their worlds collided but tonight they unite as he will be standing by Bate to kick Gallus’ asses tonight….

NXT: September 6, 2022

NXT had some excellent in-ring action tonight. The inclusion of the NXT UK top talent has injected some great change that NXT 2.0 really needed. One year in and NXT 2.0 has some shades of Black and Gold but we are still far away. That said, if we get six fun in-ring matches and promos that develop and progress stories, NXT is fine.
