"NXT UK Women's Championship Match" - (C) Rhea Ripley vs Toni Storm
These fierce women are no strangers to each other, as this match has been much anticipated for weeks. Toni Storm won the 2018 Mae Young Classic, but failed in capturing the NXT UK Women's Championship from Rhea Ripley in their initial encounter, as Rhea would defeat Storm to become the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion.

The match got off to a roaring start, as both women went at it with an onslaught of maneuvers and strikes, particularly to the challenger Toni Storm that left the self-proclaimed "Mosh Pit Kid" reeling in the early going. Storm took everything that Rhea could dish out. In a moment that left the WWE Universe breathless as they all gasped in relief, Rhea Ripley had connected with the Riptide for the cover. Toni Storm would kick out! Historically, she is the first woman to kick out of the Riptide, as equally stunning as seeing Rhea Ripley kick out of the Storm Zero shortly thereafter.

What would it take to end this match for either woman?
We would see Rhea Ripley attempt the Riptide one last time, but instead the move was countered in a heart-stopping turn of events, as Toni Storm connected once more with the Storm Zero on Rhea Ripley as she got the cover and the pin fall victory to become the new NXT UK Women's Champion. This was certainly a match that will go down as one of the top bouts of 2019, bar none.
Certainly, this was an emotional moment for Toni Storm after a rollercoaster of emotions both personally and professionally. Congratulations are in order for Toni Storm, as she will make for a fantastic UK Women's Champion!
Winner: Toni Storm
