The October 29, 2020 NXT UK results was a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE's NXT UK brand which aired on the WWE Network on October 29, 2020.
Summary[]
Dani Luna looked to score a major upset and had Aofie Valkyrie on the ropes for much of this one-on-one bout. But The Norse Angel countered a German suplex before hitting a spinning heel kick and her patented diving split leg drop off the top rope to remain undefeated.
Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster got anything but the answer they were looking for in their search for who attacked Andrews earlier this year. With Pretty Deadly joining Eddie Dennis, The Hunt arrived as apparent backup for Andrews and Webster — only to ruthlessly assault them, leaving Dennis pleased and Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley bewildered.
Jordan Devlin continues to insist he's the "one real" NXT Cruiserweight Champion — and with more performances like this dominant return to the ring, who could argue? The Irish Ace was on a mission, putting away Levi Muir with the Devlin Side before issuing a challenge to all Cruiserweights.
WALTER and Ilja Dragunov treated the NXT UK Universe to a war the likes of which they've never seen, but only one man could walk away as NXT United Kingdom Champion.
The Ring General went for it all early, but Dragunov countered a powerbomb attempt and connected with a top-rope senton. WALTER quickly turned the tables when he sent The Mad Russian careening into the middle and bottom ropes, seemingly injuring his neck. The apparent injury didn't elicit any mercy from the defending champion, and WALTER poured on the punishment relentlessly with a barrage of strikes.
The determined challenger delivered on his promise to redefine violence, fighting back in almost unhuman fashion with repeated German suplexes despite a near 100-pound weight differential. He also withstood WALTER's best, kicking out after a gigantic lariat and powerbomb.
Summoning the strength to hit Torpedo Moscow with WALTER's back turned, Dragunov was unable to capitalize for a cover, inflicting perhaps just as much damage on his own neck. A second attempt didn't find the mark completely, netting a near-fall. WALTER rolled out of the ring with Dragunov in hot pursuit, but The Ring General dropped The Mad Russian neck-first with a suplex before planting him on the apron with a powerbomb.
The nearly lifeless Dragunov still kicked out moments later after WALTER hit yet another powerbomb inside the ring followed by a top-rope splash. With the champion locking in a sleeper and Dragunov unable to defend himself, the referee called for the bell.
The courageous Mad Russian fought valiantly, though fell short of his dream thanks to NXT UK's indomitable Ring General.
