Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for July 22, 2021

Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala announces that he and General Manager Johnny Saint have been in discussions with NXT management - NXT General Manager William Regal, Triple H and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels - who we now hear from. William Regal says that they have taken a keen interest in the happenings from last week, and Shawn Michaels says they were disappointed that Walter vs. Ilja Dragunov for the NXT UK Championship would not be taking place. Triple H then says that after discussions with General Manager Johnny Saint, they have come to the best possible solution. Regal says that Walter and Dragunov have had one of the fiercest rivalries in professional wrestling, and Michaels says the match should be seen by the entire world. Triple H announces that the match will take place in the United States on August 22nd at NXT TakeOver 36.



We hear from Symbiosis (Eddie Dennis, Primate, T-Bone). Primate says that Tyler Bate chose to use weapons, and says the wounds or war heal while Tyler won't. T-Bone says that Tyler Bate won't be a "big, strong boy" when he is up against two big, strong men. Eddie Dennis says that they have not forgotten about Trent Seven, and says that every time they have shared a ring, Trent Seven tried to end his career. He asks Seven how it will feel when Symbiosis returns the favor, as his mind is a cannon locked, aimed and loaded at the precipice of Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven), and his ammunition is ready to fire.

Nina Samuels beats Laura DiMatteo.

We hear from Teoman, who says that when he came to NXT UK, he said that nothing is more important than family and that he will stop at nothing to provide for them. Rohan Raja shows up as Teoman says that while he was born hundreds of miles away from Rohan, they have a bond. Rohan says that Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith learned how strong their bond last week, and says Teoman welcomed him into the family as he saw something powerful in him that all of NXT UK will see soon enough. Teoman says it is easy to choose respect or fear, and that family is always growing.



We hear from Xia Brookside, but she is soon interrupted by Blair Davenport, who talks about how everyone is talking about her despite being in NXT UK for only five minutes while Xia has been there for three years. She says that people only know who Xia Brookside is because of her father's last name.

It's time for SPRNVA Sessions. Tonight's guests are Jinny and Joseph Conners. Conners sits down, but Jinny stands up until Noam Dar hands her a pillow off of the couch. After some jokes from Noam Dar, Jinny tells Noam Dar that she has never been cheap and has lived a life of luxury since the day she was born. Joseph Conners says that since he has teamed up with Jinny, he has been surrounded by true class, true culture and the hierarchy of life. Jinny says that "smart people associate with smart people." Jinny then addresses Aoife Valkyrie, saying she has heard what she has to say about her and says she watches from a distance because she is a scared and fragile girl, and says that Aoife Valkyrie would never say any of that to her face because she knows that she will be the one to break her and truly destroy her. After Jinny and Joseph Conners leave, Noam Dar plugs his shirt, and the segment ends.

We hear from Rampage Brown, who says that his third match with Joe Coffey will be the one to end it all and that he will be the one to come out on top.



Joseph Conners beats Tristan Archer with a spinning neckbreaker that he calls "The Hierarchy." After the match, Jinny spots Aoife Valkyrie behind the barricade, and Aoife Valkyire hands Jinny a feather, challenging her to a match.

In footage from earlier today, Jordan Devlin says that A-Kid is the dumbest man on the planet to demand a 30-minute Iron Man Match against him with a torn ACL, and says he knows that his ACL is not 100% because he felt it tear in his own hands. He says that last time they were in the ring, he tried to end A-Kid's career, and next time, he will finish the job.

Backstage, "Bomber" Dave Mastiff says he is looking after his own muscles when Jack Starz shows up and says he appreciates his help, saying he would have not challenged Tyler Bate without it. He tells Starz that there is more to come from this.

We hear from Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven). Trent Seven says it is always words from Symbiosis (Eddie Dennis, Primate, T-Bone) and that Eddie Dennis cannot let things go. Tyler Bate says that Symbiosis jumped Trent Seven, and that he will have to put the Heritage Cup Championship on the backburner to have his back, as they are back together and they have some business to attend to. Trent Seven says that at the precipice of Moustache Mountain is a log cabin guarded by two of the biggest, strongest boys, and that they will see Symbiosis in the ring where they will finish things once and for all.

Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley) retain the NXT UK Tag Team Championships against Subculture ("Flash" Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews) after Lewis Howley pulls Sam Stoker out of the ring to avoid Fall To Pieces, then throw Webster over the barricade and throw one of the tag team title belts to distract the referee and hit a double-team maneuver to retain the titles.

Wolfgang beats Sam Gradwell.

We see Ilja Dragunov, Joe Coffey and Rampage Brown at a table. Coffey says that he is happy to have a get-together, as there will be nothing nice happening when they get in the ring. Rampage tells Coffey that he knows what he is up against, and Dragunov says he is in the mix because it is neither man's playground. The three of them agree that they have had similar upbringings and have become the three most dominant competitors in NXT UK because of it. Coffey asks Dragunov is he left a piece of himself in the ring against Walter, then says their match will become even more violent and that he will leave them both laying. Dragunov says he is violence and that anything can happen, and that he is prepared. After the three of them talk over each other, Coffey simply says "So let's bring it."



At the UK Performance Center, Mark Coffey finds Sha Samuels working on a crossword puzzle and mocks him. Samuels says Coffey can try to be like him, but he can never beat him, then looks for Johnny Saint to make a match official when Mark Coffey continues to mock him.

It's time for SPRNVA Sessions. Noam Dar announces that he has finally gotten his first shirt in WWE and that it is on sale now, then introduces tonight's guest, Jordan Devlin. Noam Dar apologizes for not getting Devlin on the show sooner, and Devlin says that they are both high-achieving individuals thanks to their time in America, saying "America sucks." Noam Dar then says that Devlin was robbed of the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, and Devlin says that just because somebody can climb up a ladder faster does not make them the better man. Devlin says that when he comes back to America, he will be coming after both Santos Escobar and the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Noam Dar says that he is there if Devlin needs his help, then decides to pay it forward and allows Devlin to make his own SPRNVA Sessions exclusive. Devlin tells the fans that he is back and that he is not hard to find if anyone wants to take a crack at him. Noam Dar then plugs his shirt again to end the show.

Next week: Teoman vs. Oliver Carter!

In footage from earlier this week at the UK Performance Center, "Bomber" Dave Mastiff says he feels fit and healthy again as he watches Tyler Bate and Jack Starz train. Tyler Bate says he has been impressed with Starz as of late and wants to face him in a Heritage Cup Rules Match, but Starz declines, as feels he has not earned it yet. Mastiff asks Starz what he is thinking turning that opportunity down and tells him to go for it.

We hear from Aoife Vakyrie, who says that if one does not risk, they cannot win. She asks how one can break their limits if they do not know what they are to begin with.
