Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for November 21, 2019

Before the next match, Kona Reeves says it is typical of the people not to know when they have real talent in their presence, and that is why he thought it would be beneficial if he hopped on a jet to compete in NXT UK. Reeves go on to say he knows a lot about Trent Seven, then say that the fans for idiots for cheering for him, as he is out of shape, out-of-date and not exemplary of what a Superstar is. He plans to show him that twisting his mustache does not make him a star and give him a taste of what it is like to be in the ring with "The Finest." After the match, Trent Seven is shocked by the sudden appearance of Eddie Dennis in the front row as he high-fives the crowd.

In footage from earlier today, Radzi interviews Ilya Dragunov, who says that Alexander Wolfe - who trained him - tried to trick him into joining Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel, Wolfe), but he always made decisions for him and disrespected him. He plans to prove that he is the only one in charge of his own future when he steps out of Wolfe's shadow.

NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II is live on the WWE Network on Sunday, January 12th, and is already sold out within two hours of tickets being available.

A-Kid beats Jack Starz by submission.

In footage from earlier today, Radzi interviews Jinny and Jazzy Gabert. Jinny gives the women's division credit for their talent, but says that they are "little girls." Jinny says that she is championship material, and that Piper Niven will have to overthrow her as queen, as she has never pinned her.

Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up. Gibson says they should be NXT UK Tag Team Champions, and that the only reason they are not is a stipulation to their match at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff that cost them the titles. He states that Grizzled Young Veterans is a great tag team capable of bouncing back, as they had Flash "Morgan" Webster and Mark Andrews beaten until Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) and Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel, Alexander Wolfe)showed up and got the match thrown out. Gibson then says that there have been no consequences for both teams' actions, and demands that the powers that be pay attention and listen to them, as they were on the way to making the NXT UK tag team titles the most venerable in WWE. He then says that the titles are depreciating in value as they do not have it, then talks about the Bill Shankly statue in front of Shankly Gates in Anfield, saying they want to make the people happy. Gibson demands that General Manager Johnny Saint make the people happy and give Grizzled Young Veterans the tag title shot they deserve, as NXT UK needs them in the match and the world will be talking about them.

We hear from Jordan Devlin, who places a highlight reel of himself before saying he is an "inspirational leader of men" in NXT UK before A-Kid will not succeed solely on Tyler Bate's endorsement when he beats him next week.

Ridge Holland beats Oliver Carter in his debut. Marty Jones is seen in the front row before the match. Ashton Smith checks on Oliver Carter after the match. (Holland is best known as former professional rugby player Luke Menzies.)

"The Kiwi Buzzsaw" Travis Banks says that Joseph Conners is "out of order." Ligero says that Conners robbed him of the victory and the fans out of a fair fight. Conners says he is happy he was able to leave a good impression on everyone.

In footage from during the break, Ashton Smith talks with Oliver Carter, saying they need a win to go places. Suddenly, Noam Dar shows up and insults both of them, but Smith decides to play Dar's bluff and challenges him to a match. Noam says he doesn't need friends, and that he will face Ashton Smith on his time.

Next week: Jinny vs. Piper Niven!

Alexander Wolfe beats Ilya Dragunov following the involvement of the rest of Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel). After the match, Imperium attacks Dragunov, but Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) runs in and fends them off. When Gallus stands tall in the ring, and when Walter tries to retrieve the WWE United Kingdom Championship, Joe Coffey grabs it, saying the title will soon be his.
