Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for January 6, 2022

Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter beat Symbiosis (Primate and Tyson T-Bone) in a Tag Team Eliminator Match.

In footage from earlier this week, Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley) are interviewed. Suddenly, Sam Gradwell shows up and tells them that they can't get what they want by whining like babies.

We hear from Ilja Dragunov, who says his intensity is not his real strength. He says his life and path was always difficult, but he has never wanted it another way and he can never truly lose, as the one thing that is most important to him is his family. He talks about his relationship with his wife, who he says was the first person to accept him the way that he is, and after a couple of years, it was important that they gave their son Constantin the right mindset that he is special the way that he is, and that one falls just to get back up again. He says that he carries this with himself every single day, then brings up Jordan Devlin bringing up his family, saying Devlin does not feel what he feels. He says he does not need to rent a nice car, rent a penthouse of buy people into cheering, as he is enough, he is real and he is a real champion.

We see Noam Dar looking back at this Heritage Cup Championship when Sha Samuels checks up on him. Sha Samuels says the odds are 11-1 that Noam Dar will beat A-Kid in the fourth round of their match.

We hear from Die Familie (Teoman, Rohan Raja, Charlie Dempsey). Rohan says that week in and week out, we they have showcased their potential to the world, and now that they are at full strength, they are going after tag team gold. Teoman says Jack Starz and "The Bomber" Dave Mastiff may be good friends, but it takes way more to win tag team gold, and that it takes a family bond like they have. He says the eye sees everything and that the eye sees them winning tag team gold.

Xia Brookside beats Myla Grace.

We hear from A-Kid. He says winning the first Heritage Cup tournament changed his life completely and that he feels his life needs a new change, and for that, he must win the Heritage Cup again. He says the Cup was the first chapter in his legacy and that he cannot wait to write the next one.

We hear from Jack Starz and "The Bomber" Dave Mastiff. Starz says 2021 was big, but 2022 will be bigger. After Starz says he cannot tell if Mastiff is smiling, Dave Mastiff says he looks forward to winning the tag team titles, and Starz agrees, saying Mastiff's smile will only get bigger.

In footage from earlier this week, Amale is thanked for her honesty in her recent vignette that has now gone viral. Jinny, however, shows up and says she is not impressed with her "sob story," which she calls "pathetic" before heading to her limo. When Stevie Turner walks in and says Jinny has a point, Amale shoves her towards a window and yells at her in French.

Next week: Walter's Last Stand!

We hear from Walter, who says that ever since he stepped into NXT UK, he dominated the brand and preached what was important to him and Imperium, and after an historic title reign, he brought respect, glory and dignity to professional wrestling. He says the time has come and that this is his last match in NXT UK for now, and that his opponent will be Nathan Frazer. He says he has heard a lot of good things about Frazer and calls Frazer the future of the brand, but he is not impressed by any of this, for Frazer is in it for himself and has taken the piss out of professional wrestling. He says that when he steps into the ring, he will stand victorious, for the mat is sacred.

Meiko Satomura retains the NXT UK Women's Championship against Blair Davenport after reversing a Sunset Flip into a sit-down pin. After the match, Davenport beats up Satomura.
