Trent Seven of Moustache Moutain was up against Sam Gradwell in the main event of this week's NXT UK. The bout got off to a fiery start, with both men immediately locking up in the center of the NXT UK ring.

Sam Gradwell targeted the arm of Trent Seven to begin with, but Seven fought out. As Gradwell prepared to launch into an attack against Seven, he was outsmarted when Seven took him down with a quick Crossbody.

Sam Gradwell then grabbed Seven in a headlock that he worked his way out of. Seven then went for a DDT, but this was reversed by Gradwell. Gradwell then slammed Trent Seven down to the mat with an Underhook, and continued to hit him with repeated strikes before grabbing him into a rear chinlock.

Trapped in the rear chinlock, Trent Seven appeared to be fading, despite his efforts to force his way out. After some time, he managed to power himself out of the hold. He then gathered some momentum and hit Gradwell with a swift DDT.

Trent Seven then knocked Gradwell to the outside of the ring, and landed a Suicide Dive on him. The men returned to the NXT UK ring and Gradwell appeared to be struggling as he lay on the mat.

Once Sam Gradwell rose again, he noticed that Trent Seven was holding onto his knee. He then scooped up Seven into a Single-Legged Boston Crab in order to target the affected area.
