Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for January 28, 2021

Jordan Devlin enters the ring. He says that he started his open challenge to cement his legacy with the Cruiserweight Championship and have the most successful defenses to become the greatest Cruiserweight champion NXT UK has ever seen. As Devlin says that he needs new challengers, Trent Seven suddenly shows up, agreeing with Devlin's dominance with the Cruiserweight title, then says the division needs a new challenger and he needs a new challenge himself. Trent Seven says he will trim down to 205 pounds, and when he does, he will challenge Devlin. Devlin tells Seven that if he can drop the weight, he will challenge. As he leaves the ring, he pats Seven's stomach, and Seven slugs him before standing on the Cruiserweight title when Devlin comes back for it to tell him he will drop the weight and challenge him.

We see a video package of Kay Lee Ray, who demands the best in the world. It is then revealed that she will get it in the form of Meiko Satomura, who is coming to NXT UK.

Before the next match, Sam Gradwell sarcastically welcomes Ben Carter to NXT UK before mocking Carter's ring gear and Jersey, and says he is here to send him back home on a funeral catamaran.

Ben Carter beats Sam Gradwell.

Sha Samuels beats Josh Morrell by submission.

In footage from earlier this week, Ilya Dragunov looks back on his match with Jack Starz, saying he did not want to hurt Starz and that he lost it completely after being chopped in the back. Sam Gradwell then shows up and calls Dragonuv a loose cannon.

Backstage, Rampage Brown is met by Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang). Brown tells Joe Coffey needs a challenge, and Coffey says he will take him up on his offer.

Next week: Nina Samuels vs. Xia Brookside! Jordan Devlin's NXT Cruiserweight Championship open challenge continues!

Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley) beat The Hunt (Wild Boar and Primate), the team of Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith and the team of "Flash" Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews in a four-way elimination tag team match to become #1 contenders for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships after Eddie Dennis - who was barred from accompanying The Hunt to ringside - shows up and hits Andrews in the back of his left knee with a steel chair. Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) are seen enjoying the match with popcorn and refreshments from a distance. Referees have to keep The Hunt out of the ring and order them to the back after their elimination. After the match, Joe Coffey and Wolfgang show up on the entrance ramp.
