Ben Carter hasn't been with NXT UK for long, but the star has had much hype, as a former student of SmackDown Superstar Seth Rollins. Ben Carter focused on the right arm of Morrell through the match, and showed off his technical abilities.

In the fast-paced match, both Ben Carter and Josh Morrell hit back quickly at one another. At one point, it seemed as though Carter was going to get the pinfall on Morrell following a suplex, but Morrell kicked out at two.

Morrell then caught Ben Carter in a bow and arrow, and Carter then returned the favor on Morrell. It seemed as though Morrell may have had the match won when he turned a hip toss into a pin, but Carter kicked out. Ben Carter eventually defeated John Morrell following a perfectly-executed Frog Splash with a pin.

Winner: Ben Carter

Grade: B +

The action then left the BT Sport Studio, and moved to a press conference between NXT UK Women's Champion Kay Lee Ray and Meiko Satomura. In the conference, Meiko Satomura had strong words for Ray, claiming, "I will teach her the real meaning of a true champion".

Kay Lee Ray claimed that Meiko Satomura was the best, and that to be the best, she needed to beat the best.

It was then officially announced that Kay Lee Ray and Meiko Satomura will go head-to-head for the NXT UK Women's Championship in two weeks' time.
