Everything in the middle did what it needed to but if you're already familiar with Wildboar and you either don't care or can see where they're going with the Dennis/Mastiff feud, then you really don't need to see either of those matches. I do want to mention however that the addition of Sid Scala as Johnny Saint's assistant is, for me, a raging success. Saint isn't great at cutting these long and winding WWE style promo's and is better utilised as the British legend that the locker room falls in step behind, as such brevity is his friend. Meanwhile, Scala is very good on the mic and seems to be growing into his new role well. They have a very good dynamic. The opener was a banger of a match, that (with a little more time) could be considered great. As it was it's simply really bloody good and while I understand why you'd want to end the show with the Dunne/Coffey contract signing, this really should've been the "main event" over that [***1/2]. Hitchman/Morrell was a solid enhancement match putting over Wildboar [**] and Dennis/Mastiff was more of an angle than a match [**]. The contract signing really got me hyped for TakeOver: Blackpool. Maybe it's because I'll be there in person but since they annouced that event on this show it's felt like NXT:UK has really found its footing and has something to aim for and Coffey (in particular) is rising to the challenge of being Dunne's first real feud on the brand. Dunne, of course, is always excellent and knows exactly who he is. It's a contract signing so, y'know, a table dies - but it's all for a good cause. Good episode. Written by robinson ER See less
