#5. Pete Dunne Vs Noam Dar

Huge title match ends the first episode!

The 'Scottish Supernova' Noam Dar returned from injury at the NXT UK Tournament and won the #1 contendership to Pete Dunne's NXT UK Title. That title match took place in the main event of the first episode of NXT UK.

Pete Dunne and Noam Dar put on a great match here with a good story of mutual respect by mocking. The match opened with both mocking each other's gestures before Dunne got things really going with a huge lariat.

The pair then traded a series of huge moves and back and forths, with both men barely making a ten count after an apron spot, Dar reversing the Bitter End. But like Samuels in the previous match, Dar spent too much time taunting Dunne, which allowed the 'Bruiserweight' to snap Dar's pinky and pick up the win.

Result: Pete Dunne Def. Noam Dar to retain the NXT UK Title
