The Mad Russian used pure determination to outlast 19 other Superstars and win the 20-Man Battle Royal, earning himself an opportunity to challenge the NXT UK Champion. Plus, Kay Lee Ray & Jinny defeated Piper Niven & Dani Luna, and Xia Brookside returned to NXT UK to best Amale.
Kay Lee Ray & Jinny def. Piper Niven & Dani Luna
In the opening matchup, NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray joined forces with Jinny against Piper Niven and up-and-comer Dani Luna. In the final moments, The Fashionista neutralized Niven by hurling her into the steel ring steps. She then delivered a hard right to Luna from the apron and paved the way for The Scary Queen of Scots to hit the Gory Bomb on Luna for the victory.

Come fly with Xia Brookside! After taking some time off to hone her skills at the Performance Center, the daughter of the great Robbie Brookside battled through an injury to her arm and overcame French newcomer Amale with Broken Wings in a hard-fought contest.
