Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for January 7, 2021

Jinny beats Piper Niven to become #1 contender for the NXT UK Women's Championsip. During the match, Joseph Conners shows up to get a closer look at the match, and not long afterwards, Joseph Conners pushes Jinny out of the way and takes a somersault senton from Piper. Shortly after this, Conners grabs Piper's ankles to allow Jinny to roll Piper up for the win.

We hear from Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley), who says Gallus does not want them in the tag team division because they are scared and intimidated after putting a target on their backs.

We hear from Aoife Valkyrie, who says the bird must be ready to leave the nest or it will be fatal, and that there is no room for feathers that are frayed. She says that when the birds soar, they do not try to be perfect, they just are.

We hear from Tyler Bate, who says that he came up short against A-Kid, but says that if he is willing to learn and expand his understanding of himself and pro wrestling from a place of absolute authenticity, he will be liberated for any pain any match can give him. He says that a wise man once said to be like water, and he wants to do that with pro wrestling as pro wrestling chose him like a conduit for a greater good he does not yet know, and he must go deep within for everything to fall into place. We then hear from Sam Gradwell, who has seen this on his phone and says that the only yogi he respects steals picnic baskets, having not been inspired by the message.

It's time for Supernova Sessions. After Noam Dar makes it his new year's resolution to win all the awards and championship, he introduces tonight's guest: Ben Carter, whom he calls "Ben Carpenter." Carter has to correct everyone on his name, much to Noam's embarrassment, then says he joined NXT UK to face the very best that the industry has to offer, which starts right here in NXT UK. Suddenly, Jordan Devlin shows up. Devlin asks Noam Dar how he will have Ben Carter on his show ahead of him, and after telling Carter he shows no disrespect, tells him they are both on the same roster. Noam says that Devlin is not the undisputed Cruiserweight Champion, but Carter sides with Devlin. Carter tells Devlin he is the undisputed Cruiserweight Champion as he continues to side with him, and says Devlin should have no problem defending his title against him. Carter loves the idea, and Assistant Sid Scala shows up to make Carter vs. Devlin for the Cruiserweight title as tonight's main event official.

Next week: A-Kid vs. Walter for the NXT UK Championship!

We hear from Kay Lee Ray, who warns Jinny that while she is somebody who gets what she wants all the time, the NXT UK Women's Championship is something that money can't buy, requires talent to get and belongs to her.

"Bomber" Dave Mastiff beats Saxon Huxley.
