Surprise filler match
Adrian Neville vs. Tommy End
The King of the Cruiserweights arrived, Neville! He spoke about being left out of the Cruiserweight Classic, 205 Live and now the United Kingdom Championship. I was hoping for the final to be made a triple threat. He screamed at the crowd about how he was the greatest talent the UK had produced. The crowd completely agreed. Don’t show a heel in his home country. Poor move WWE.

Tommy End appeared to challenge the Man that Gravity forgot in this filler match before the final. Tommy End looks to be a really interesting talent. He could be the next star to fill the large shoes that CM Punk left. As he exited the hip toss from Neville he sat cross-legged. Talk about channelling the straight-edge superstar. He is able to stand on his own though, it’s merely a complimentary comparison. His anti-hero character is a refreshing gimmick and there are not many like him in the WWE at the moment.
(As Charley updated the entire arena (by accident) on Tyler’s condition, I couldn’t help but think the Blackpool crowd would be looking forward to ending up on Botchamania)
Neville managed to keep the man down though as he had control of the match for a long period, it wasn’t until Tommy End executed a high flying move from the steel steps that our anti-hero gained the advantage. If End has anything going for him, it is his superkicks. He could superkick a fly, that’s how accurate he is. For a filler match, this was a fairly entertaining break and the crowd were still into the action.
After a top-rope hurracanrana, Neville hit the Red Arrow (Nigel, you should have known the name of that…tut, tut.) to pick up the pinfall victory.
Winner by pinfall – Neville
Now it was time to crown a new United Kingdom champion…but first...
Balor, give us a wave, Balor, Balor give us a wave!! Wheyyyyyy!
Anyway, Balor came out to address the crowd before the final to thank the crowd for their attendance and their passion. This prompted a chant of ‘we deserve it!’. And yes. Yes we do.
Preceding this short address, Tyler Bate was announced to have separated his AC joint, but cleared to compete! Let’s get it on!
