Noam Dar beats Wolfgang two falls to one (2-1) to win the NXT UK Heritage Cup #1 Contender's Tournament and earn a shot at the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship.

This distracts Wolfgang, and Noam Dar rolls him up with a grab of the tights at 1:34 (one minute, thirty-four seconds) left. This leads to an angry Wolfgang hitting Noam Dar with a Spear and pinning him in five seconds at the start of Round 3. During Round 4, Noam Dar kicks the ring post, then dodges a Spear by Wolfgang, causing Wolfgang to crash into the barricade.

After the match, Tyler Bate shows up with the NXT UK Heritage Cup to end the show.
