WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne vs. Joey Coffey is now official for the main event of The NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool Event on Saturday, January 12th. The BruiserWeight & Gallus’ Iron King had their contract signing on yesterday’s episode of NXT UK, as seen in the video below:
Yesterday’s episode of NXT UK saw Toni Storm defeat Deonna Purrazzo to build momentum for her title shot against NXT UK Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley at The NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool Event on January 12th. Below is a video from that match and a second video of Storm talking to Radzi Chinyanganya:
“Last time I faced Rhea Ripley I lost, and I got injured, and it was a hard time for me,” Storm said when asked how it will be different facing Ripley this time. “It was a very bad time for me, but when bad things happen to people, something inside of them changes, something inside of them becomes a little more dangerous than it was before. And if you look at what I’ve done since – I won the Mae Young Classic at Evolution, I’ve got momentum on my side. And what does Rhea Ripley got on her side? Absolutely nobody. And at the NXT UK live Takeover in Blackpool, she’s going to have no more NXT UK Women’s Championship because it’s coming home.”
