Kay Lee Ray vs Jinny for the NXT UK Women's Championship

Jinny instantly seized the advantage and exploited it with an arm drag into the corner. The action went outside where Jinny would inflict more punishment on the NXT UK Women's Champion.
Back in the ring, Jinny went for a pin, but Ray kicked out. A harsh Irish whip to Ray allowed Jinny to trash talk and lock in an innovative and painful-looking submission hold. Jinny increased her aggression with a kick and an unrelenting headlock. Jinny hit two rolling kicks, but Ray countered the third with a superkick.
Ray hit another superkick and DDT, before transitioning into the Koji clutch, which caused Jinny to fade. Seeing that the Fashionista wasn't going to tap out, Ray went for the Gory Bomb but Conners distracted her. This allowed Jinny to hit a turnbuckle-assisted facebuster which seemingly had the match won.
However, the referee saw Conners try to hold Ray’s feet down, which resulted in him being thrown out of the match. Before Conners left, he took the title, which caused Ray to leave the ring and spin him around to plant a strike to the chops. The attack allowed Jinny to grab the title.
Back in the ring, Jinny tried to hit Ray with the title, but the champion ducked and the ref took the Championship away from the Fashionista. Ray hit the Gory Bomb for the win and continued her historic NXT UK Women's Championship reign.
