Mark Andrews vs Lewis Howley w/Sam Stoker on NXT UK

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Though he held the NXT UK Tag Titles with Pretty Deadly partner Sam Stoker, Lewis Howley was an underdog against someone like Mark Andrews. Not only was Andrews a former NXT UK Tag Champion, but he's an established singles competitor as well.

Howley's size advantage and the fact that his tag partner was at ringside did, however, put the match in his favor. Andrews took Howley to the mat and worked over the arm. Howley blocked an arm drag, but a tilt-a-whirl arm drag did send Howley overhead.

A wheelbarrow bulldog planted Howley and Andrews followed with a suicide dive on the floor. But NXT UK Tag Champ Sam Stoker distracted him, allowing Howley to catch him in the ropes and send him shoulder first into the ring post.

Howley hit a leg drop for a two-count and hammered him with a series of forearms. Andrews managed to catch Howley with a tilt-a-whirl into the crossbody, followed by a jawbreaker and dropkick that took Howley to the floor. Howley avoided the baseball slide and sent him into the barricade.

Howley was spiked with a tilt-a-whirl DDT by Andrews, and it seemed he was well on his way to a victory over one half of the NXT UK Tag Champions. Andrews ducked a clothesline with a powerslide and hit an enzuigiri. A Code Red earned Andrews a nearfall.

Andrews hit a springboard dragonrana on Howley as Subculture ran down to stop Stoker from interfering. Howley kicked out of the pinfall and blocked another DDT. He didn't stop the Stundog Millionaire, however, and Andrews finished the night with the Shooting Star Press.

Results: Mark Andrews defeated Lewis Howley via pinfall on NXT UK.

Grade: B+

Thanks to that win, Mark Andrews earned Subculture a shot at the NXT UK Tag Titles.


We saw footage of Jack Starz talking to a few roster mates after losing to Tyler Bate the previous week. Starz had impressed many coworkers and fans at this point, and could be a major star going forward.

After that, Tyler Bate was asked about Mark Coffey who made it clear he wanted shot at the NXT UK Heritage Cup. Bate said that if he wanted a shot all he had to do was ask.
