MUST WATCH: NXT UK started with a press conference with WALTER & Ilja Dragunov where the first question was asked to WALTER, which was does he think he will retain & he said yes because he does it for the reputation & that he has never seen someone like Dragunov before but he is still not on WALTER’s level. The second question went to Dragunov where they asked him what he had learned. Dragunov answered by saying there have been dark days since the match & this was a failure that hurt his mind & that’s why he started losing control, but now he has control and is prepared. The third question was to Dragunov who asked him what this match will be like & he answered brutality, violence & intensity. He said their first match redefined violence & WALTER v Dragunov II will be the same. WALTER then interrupted Dragunov & kept reminding him that he isn’t on WALTER’s level. WALTER then said everything Dragunov is just show & Dragunov refused to look at WALTER when he demanded him to. Dragunov then said he thought everything he had before was enough & that he had respect for him before but now the respect is gone & all he has for WALTER is hate. He kept telling WALTER he hates him & then he said he will break WALTER next week in the ring. They stared each other down to finish it. This was absolutely brilliant.

A fun show overall for NXT UK. It was announced in the episode that WALTER will be unable to make the match with Dragunov that was scheduled for next week. Satomura’s reign has already started off very hot.
