This week of NXT was almost as good as a Takeover!
#4 A masterpiece in storytelling
Ad
The never-ending saga of Bate and Dunne continues...
Every time the two men have come to blows, the results have been completely off the charts. This time was no different, quite honestly. Dunne and Bate continued their legacy with an extremely thrilling match. While Dunne managed to pin Bate, we can safely say both men won.
Perhaps my favourite sequence was the one where Dunne stretched Bate's fingers in such a manner that it seemed like he had completely dislocated it. Soon after, Dunne was hit with one of Bate's knockout punches, but Bate sold his hand and didn't go for the pin. This was masterful storytelling, by both men in the match.
We wonder what the future of the United Kingdom Championship is. We're certain that plans are afoot for the title to be showcased to the WWE Universe in a bigger manner.
All said and done, the 'UK' chants from the NXT Universe this week were certainly very well deserved.
