The rivalry between Xia Brookside and Amale on NXT UK began when Amale attacked Brookside two weeks ago, leaving her unable to compete in the gauntlet match. As a result, Amale even robbed her of the opportunity to compete for the NXT UK Women's Championship against Kay Lee Ray.

The match began quickly, with the two women coming at one another furiously. Xia Brookside focused on the arm of Amale to begin with, starting the contest in control of proceedings.

However, The French Hope of NXT UK started to take the upper hand when she escaped from Brookside's arm hold outside the ring, and began attacking her with a series of fierce strikes.

Amale then cornered Xia Brookside by the turnbuckles and hit her with a barrage of kicks whilst she was down. She then ran and launched herself at Brookside with a huge knee strike to the face.

Amale began to taunt her rival, which prompted Brookside to fire herself back up and take down Amale with a hurricanrana, followed up with a neckbreaker. She attempted to pin Amale, who kicked out at two.

It looked all but over for Xia Brookside when Amale made a comeback with a suplex and a pin, but Brookside kicked out at two. Amale then whipped Xia Brookside into the corner, who then hit back with a powerful kick to the midsection.

The kick only seemed to rile up Amale even more, as she grabbed Xia Brookside and hit a spinebuster on her, before managing to pin her for the win.

Winner: Amale

Grade: B
