Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for April 14, 2022

"Bomber" Dave Mastiff and Jack Starz beat Gallus (Joe and Mark Coffey) after Joe has to tell Mark that he is the legal man when he tags himself in before Mark tries to pin Mastiff. After the match, Joe and Mark argue. Wolfgang shows up to be the voice of reason between them, but Joe walks out on Mark.

We look back on Roderick Strong vs. Ilja Dragunov for the NXT UK Championship.

In backstage footage from after last week's show, Ilja Dragunov says his match was like a near-death experience. He then runs into Roderick Strong, who says that he knew Dragunov was special and that when they meet again, the outcome will be different. As they shake hands, Jordan Devlin shows up and says that while Dragunov may be the champion, he is the Irish Ace.

We see a video package chronicling the feud between Sam Gradwell and Kenny Williams. Sam Gradwell challenges Kenny Williams to a Back Alley Brawl, telling him that he will bring the streets to Kenny Williams and prove him to be a scared little boy begging for attention, but Kenny Williams says nobody can stop him and that he is ruthless. The Back Alley Brawl is next week.

Meiko Satomura heads to the ring and calls out Isla Dawn, saying she has something that belongs to her and to return the NXT UK Women's Championship. Isla Dawn shows up and says she is blown away by Satomura's kidness, then says that while she has grown quite attached to the championship belt, she is willing to temporarily return it to her on the condition that she gets her rematch under her own chaotic rules. Isla Dawn lays the title down on the mat and kisses it, then tells Satomura to take one last look at it, for it will be all hers. Satomura tells Isla Dawn that if she wanted to fight her again, all she had to do was ask. Isla Dawn then spits black mist in Satomura's face, then says her ascension will take place in her dominion, which she calls "a world of darkness."

Backstage, Amale says she will be watching Eliza Alexander's debut and warns her and everyone else not to take her sweetness for weakness, because she is full of rage and it is only a matter of time before she gets her hands on Xia Brookside and Eliza Alexander and shows them how angry she is.

In backstage footage from during the break, Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) is heard arguing behind their dressing room, and Joe Coffey is seen storming out.

We hear from Mark Andrews and Wild Boar. Andrews says they have been friends for fifteen years and that the only time they were not on the same page was when Eddie Dennis got inside Wild Boar's head. Andrews says that in his culture, friends are meant to stand united. Wild Boar tells Eddie Dennis that he knows he is scared to face him one-on-one because he knows he will tear him limb from limb, but Andrews tells Wild Boar that he has to get inside his head in order to get a fair fight out of him and that Subculture ("Flash" Morgan Webster, Andrews, Dani Luna) are here to even the odds. Wild Boar tells Symbiosis that they are the hunted.

Eliza Alexander beats Angel Hayze.

Backstage, Emilia McKenzie says that her hard work has been paying off after having trained with the best in Meiko Satomura, saying that it is hard not to follow in her footsteps. Stevie Turner, who is in the background, mocks Emilia for choosing to be number two in a world everyone is fighting to be number one and that Satomura only chose her because she does not see her as a threat.

We see a video package of the events leading up to the two-out-of-three falls match for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships between the team of Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter and Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven), which takes place next week.

Teoman beats A-Kid after A-Kid takes out Rohan Raja and Charlie Dempsey with a springboard moonsault to the outside.
