The women's action on NXT UK was followed up by Ashton Smith vs Jack Starz. Starz was accompanied to the ring by Piper Niven.

As the bell rang, Jack went straight for Smith's leg. However, Smith used his strength to grab Starz and throw him across the ring.

The pair met again in the middle of the NXT UK ring, and Starz managed to take down Smith and target his ankle. As the pair got up again, Smith quickly knocked down Starz. Ashton then gripped onto Starz's hand. However, Jack managed to wiggle his way out of the hold.

When Starz was sent down to the mat once again, Smith targeted his opponent's arm and isolated it. Smith then continued to pull Starz around the NXT UK ring by his arm.

Jack used this to roll up Smith for the pin, but he kicked out. Smith then drove his opponent into the turnbuckle and attempted a pin, but Starz kicked out at two.

Once again, Smith used his size to his advantage and drove Starz back into the mat. He tried again for a pin, but Jack kicked out at two.
