Easily the best match of the NXT UK brand's first major show, this was an explosive contest that fell just short of being a true match of the year candidate. It saw the action spill all around the ringside area. Gibson and Drake hit hard, even putting Tyler Bate and Trent Seven into a double Shankley Gates for a near finish, but they were unable to put the UK pioneers away.

For a long while, the fight continued, with neither side gaining an advantage. After even more stiff moves and counter moves (let us not forget the insane electric chair drop and suicide dive combination that we saw towards the climax of the match), Gibson and Drake finally hit their ultimate finish to shock and anger the Blackpool crowd in becoming the first ever NXT UK tag team champions.
