Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for May 5, 2022

In footage from earlier tonight, Lash Legend tells someone to take her bags to her locker room.

It's time for SPRNVA Sessions. Tonight's guest is Lash Legend. Noam Dar gives Lash Legend some dad flowers, but Sha Samuels - having traded his seat for hers earlier - gives her a much nicer-looking bouquet. Lash says she is excited to be here, but she is not here to make friends; she is here to run through the competition. Noam Dar plays a short highlight reel of Lash Legend in NXT, then Noam Dar accidentally spills water on himself. Sha Samuels then goes over the odds of the NXT Superstars succeeding in NXT UK. Lash Legend then puts the women's locker room on notice, saying that she is bringing the size like an elephant, the savageness of hyenas and the speed of a cheetah, and when she is done, there will not be much left for even the vultures.

We hear from the Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala, who announces that in the coming weeks, there will be new contenders found for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships in two tag team matches, and the winners of these matches will take part in a Triple Threat Match for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships. Von Wagner shows up, as does Sam Gradwell. Both men argue over who the bigger star is and over who gets to mess around with Sid Scala.

In backstage footage from during the break, Sha Samuels talks to Lash Legend when Damon Kemp sees his odds and tells him to watch the next match.

Tiger Turan beats Tate Mayfairs.

In backstage footage from earlier this week, Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter are met by Gallus (Joe and Mark Coffey). Joe Coffey tells Ashton and Oliver that Trent Seven shouldn't be able to get away with cheating, and Mark Coffey tells them that they will have to deal with them first before they can take on Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) again. That match is next week.

Next week: the 200th episode of NXT UK!

Clash at the Castle is announced for Saturday, September 3rd at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales!

We see a vignette for Ivy Nile, who debuts in NXT UK next week. One person who is not happy to see her is Nina Samuels, who says that she will personally welcome her next week.

Damon Kemp beats Danny Jones. After the match, Kemp is attacked from behind by Sha Samuels.

Backstage, the locker room thanks Tiger Turan on his victorious debut. Kenny Williams notices Tiger Turan and tries to run after him.

We hear from Die Familie (Teoman, Rohan Raja, Charlie Dempsey). Teoman says that Die Familie is here to celebrate their recent successes. Charlie Dempsey says that success will continue, because A-Kid has challenged him again, and he will defeat him and Die Familie will reign supreme. Rohan Raja says it is time for him and Teoman to bring tag team championship gold to the brotherhood following Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala's announcement. Teoman says the eye sees continued success for Die Familie.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to the Empty Arena Loser Leaves NXT UK Match for the NXT UK Championship next week.
