The WWE Nxt Women’s Champion Mandy Rose is known for turning heads with an array of dazzling ring gear as she appears in her televised matches and segments for Nxt.

The reigning Nxt Women’s champ and Toxic Attraction leader did so once again as she revealed a unique look for the Worlds Collide event on Sunday.

Rose took to Instagram, where she shared a “Pre match” shot of herself wearing patriotic ring gear with her sports bra top featuring red, white, and blue with a stars and stripes pattern.

One of the top’s straps featured red and white stripes, while the other strap had white stars on a blue background. The center of her top was all red with white beads for a studded look.

Her shiny trunks were...

WWE’s Mandy Rose keeps summer going strong as she continues to show various images from her shoots featuring beautiful beach scenes.

The 32-year-old wrestling star unveiled a photo on her official Instagram on Sunday in which she wore a stunning blue bikini as she stood in the sand leaning against a solid structure, possibly a stone pillar for a dock or boardwalk.

The Nxt Women’s Champion has her brunette hair styled and makeup on point as she gives a serious look at anyone viewing her photo. Behind her are some light ocean waves and blue skies from the gorgeous beach scenery.

Rose didn’t provide any clever or insightful captions with the image, as she let the picture speak for itself. However, her caption included a blue heart emoji.

She also tagged Harry...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the second week of Nxt 2.0. I didn’t realize Nxt was a computer program. I coulda rebooted it for them. Kick! I just rebooted mine. Jonjo: I’mma dumbass! Me: Nevermind. It didn’t make it work better. Bron Breakker, who is one k away from pissing off NAACP, is getting the early push for this “new” version of Nxt. I’m getting pissy. Let’s get on with this.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this is the last week of Triple H’s Nxt. We get the hip-hop makeover starting next week and…who knows. I hope this doesn’t lead to all of the talented people going out the door, but that can’t be helped. Nxt has always been the developmental part of the WWE, so it being turned back into that is only right. It’s sad to lose the indy league part of Nxt, but it’s better to have other leagues get those names than Vince just hoarding them all. Well, I fell off a mountain, so let me die in peace. Owowowowowowowowowowowow!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Nxt starts now.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we may have a big change in how Nxt is presented this week, or it’ll be the same old deal. Samoa Joe is champion. Not bad for a guy that was fired a few months ago. I’m excited to see where this goes. Did you know that I’m a complete moron? You did? F–k you. Nxt starts now.

Match #1: Ridge Holland def. Timothy Thatcher The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this is Nxt UK: Prelude. We have a big main event, which is what I always say to the prostitute when she forgets to wear her glasses. I will start with the first match and move to the second and the third, because I wanted to try something different. Here we go with Walter…and the other guy…Rampage…not the game!

Match #1: Tyler Bate def. Noam Dar – Heritage Cup Rules Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

It required the maximum six rounds, but Tyler Bate dug deep and narrowly edged Noam Dar 2-1 in a savage fight to become the No. 1 Contender to A-Kid’s Heritage Cup Championship.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and my ass’s name is Humidity, because it sweats and smells bad. I’m excited for this week’s show, because I already forgot which one it is. Come along with me on a journey…to find the prick that came-up with that phrase. A journey?! What is this, King Arthur’s Bitchin’ Trip To Cabo? Arthur: Lancelot! Bringeth the tanning lotion! Me: What a terrible joke. Why did you tell me to do that? You suck ass. Shut and read the review. I’ve got your nose bitch!

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a confusing opener and a major main event, which is also how I start off date night with the missus, minus the parts where I look good. Let’s not lose any momentum as we…look…up in the sky…it’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s…Grandpa Gusemp! Grandpa Gusemp: I Have A Flying Chaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrrr!!!!!!! Nxt UK starts…meowwwwwwww!

Match #1: Jordan Devlin def. Amir Jordan – Nxt Cruiserweight Championship Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Jordan Devlin was a man on a mission in the first defense of “his” Nxt Cruiserweight Championship in eight months. Fighting as though he still has everything to prove, The Irish Ace punished Amir Jordan with a cavalcade of chops and holds, methodically wearing him down bit by bit. Though...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m just banging a chubby Christmas tree in the a…Merry Christmas! On this episode of Diagnosis Murder, a guy dies of cancer, but is instead declared dead of Covid-19. It’s a good thing that could never happen in real life. Well, we have a Women’s Title match that is set to go all over the building, because it’s Falls Count Anywhere.

Match #1: Joe Coffey def. Sam Gradwell The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Two weeks removed from suffering a pinfall loss to Joe Coffey and the Gallus boys in Six-Man Tag Team action, Sam Gradwell insisted he would take care of business in a one-on-one setting. While Gradwell brought a fierce challenge to the ring, his talk ultimately proved to be bigger as he lost after...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Drowning Pool drowning in a pool of its own drowned poolishness. Last week’s classic main event was the standard for what this show should be…so this will suck, because Vince never does it right twice in a row.

Match #1: Gallus def. Sam Gradwell & Pretty Deadly – Six-Man Tag Team Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Iron King is back, and thus Gallus is once again at full strength. Joe Coffey made his highly anticipated return to the ring and was as physically dominant as ever as the Glasgow firm squared off with the oddball alliance of Sam Gradwell & Pretty Deadly. Coffey found himself alone in the ring with Gradwell and ate an Sto, but recovered in time to deliver All The Best for the Bells and...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt: UK, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more from the Heritage Cup Tournament, including Max Von Sydow killing those people…when he was only eight years old! Max Von Sydow is crazy! Shoot him! Shoot him dead! Nxt UK starts…Syd-now!

Match #1: Xia Brookside & Dani Luna def. Nina Samuels & Amale The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Nina Samuels & Amale struggled to get on the same page from the beginning, with Samuels even interrupting Amale’s entrance to soak up the spotlight. The infighting escalated throughout the bout until Samuels left the ring altogether, leaving The French Hope to fend for herself. Amale had little chance on her own, falling to a double-team Brooksy Bomb by Xia Brookside & Dani Luna.

My Opinion: 2.6 out of 5 – This was decent action from four talented people. Nothing in here was thrilling or exciting,...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we’ve got so much to…ragina! Hey, the Women’s Title gets the main event, because going on second was getting old. I’m very sorry that Walter doesn’t have a last name. I…what’s “Smart” Mark D. Mark doing here? Smdm: Hey Nathan, how’s your dead mom? Nathan: Oh, now I do feel really bad about the jokes. Sorry. Smdm: Pathetic fools! Nxt UK begins its path to failure, now!

Match #1: Walter def. Saxon Huxley The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

After not competing for more than six months, Walter made up for lost time in a hurry with a viciously dominant win over Saxon Huxley. The Ring General nearly won by count-out after laying Huxley out with a powerbomb on the apron, then later finished...

Welcome to this week’s WWE Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this show is back on the road. It’s nice to have it running again, even with the glut of perverts being gutted from the roster, thanks to Speaking Out. We’ve still got some aces in the deck, so at least we can play a good hand every now and then. Let’s tuck in our bucked teeth and slap some fish on the news-paper, because it’s dinner time, daddio!

Match #1: Gallus def. Amir Jordan & Kenny Williams The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Nxt UK is back, and so are the Gallus boys — in a big way. Nxt UK Tag Team Champions Mark Coffey & Wolfgang defeated Amir Jordan & Kenny Williams, putting Jordan away with a devastating enziguri-powerslam combination. But Gallus quickly learned afterward that Jordan & Williams aren’t...

Welcome, one and all, to part two the second annual Nerdly WWE Top 50! I began this idea last year. Our version of such established ranking lists as the “Pwi 500” and the like, but just with WWE in mind. I mean, I watch other products and promotions, like Aew, New Japan, Ring of Honor and Nwa, but… sticking to one promotion, the promotion I tend to watch the most, makes sense, and makes this one-man-job a lot easier to do. This list will cover the last twelve months, from September 2019 until August of 2020.

Like last year, this will take into account work-rate, match-quality, visibility of the workers on television, their promo work, but also… and this is important to note, the way that they’ve been used. You see… there are men and women in WWE who, if they were used more often and booked in a more substantial manner, would...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the big Battle Royal for a UK Title shot, so let’s…are hush puppies just quiet dogs or lazy dogs?

Match #1: Kay Lee Ray & Jinny def. Piper Niven & Dani Luna The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In the opening matchup, Nxt UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray joined forces with Jinny against Piper Niven and up-and-comer Dani Luna. In the final moments, The Fashionista neutralized Niven by hurling her into the steel ring steps. She then delivered a hard right to Luna from the apron and paved the way for The Scary Queen of Scots to hit the Gory Bomb on Luna for the victory.

My Opinion: 2.8 out of 5 – Overall, this wasn’t half bad. There’s some fine wrestlers in here, but the match…I don’t know.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…Jake Roberts says that Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were just fighting over Sunny the whole time, but how would a crack-head know anything besides where to get the good s—? It’s funny to listen to these old bastards pick on the more successful guys and critique how they didn’t “draw money”, when there are so many factors in place that prevent even the biggest stars from actually drawing money. Nxt UK has a few stars in it, but doesn’t seem to be doing well enough as a brand all its own. Is it the wrestlers’ fault that Nxt UK isn’t raking in millions a week? I’d argue that no name could ever turn this into a league all its own, because this is just a...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Jim Jarmusch is a happy weirdo. Ghost Dog, damn it! Well, like Stephen Lang in f—me pumps, let’s cross our eyes and squeal, because it’s wrestling time. Also, wash your hands, don’t touch your face and you’ll be fine. The coronavirus is no reason to panic…AIDS is though…wear a condom.

Match #1: Pretty Deadly def. Dan Moloney & Dereiss Gordon The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley used a mix of undeniable beauty, high-octane tag team precision and unyielding grit to pick up the dominant win over Dan Moloney & Dereiss Gordon with Deadly Pretty.

My Opinion: 2.4 out of 5 – This was a fun opener that was nothing special, but it twern’t nuttin’ either. There were some moves and some holds, but I wouldn...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Delroy Lindo kissing Rene Russo. Ebony and Ivory…is that a soap from Jet Magazine? Anyway, we’ve got Tim Miller re-booting this into Nxt: Dark Fate…Or No Money For New Movie. Wow, these jokes sucked. I think I’ve got acute diarrhea. Welcome to Tyler Perry’s “I’m A Black Guy”.

Match #1: Grizzled Young Veterans def. The Hunt The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

After making some disparaging comments at the expense of Wild Boar & Primate two weeks ago, The Grizzled Young Veterans found themselves in an all-out slugfest against The Hunt. Despite the tag team aggression of their animalistic opponents, the first-ever Nxt UK Tag Team Champions rose above and hit Ticket to Mayhem for the three-count.

My Opinion: 3.2 out of 5 – This turned out pretty well.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt UK, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m gonna tell Nai Nai she’s got cancer. I mean, she doesn’t, but I like f—— with her and she has a cold so…hell yeah! While I screw with my Asian grandma, you can mosey on down to the matches and take a look-see at what you’ve got to take a look at…’cuz Nai Nai’s got cancer…but she doesn’t.

Match #1: Piper Niven def. Dani Luna The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt UK, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Imperium doing what-ever guys in jackets do for fun. Let’s get to the madness…of Spartaaaaaaaaa!

Match #1: Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan def. The Hunt The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan returned to Nxt UK for the first time in almost a year to take on The Hunt. In the height of the very physical matchup, Wild Boar missed the splash on Burch as he crashed onto the ringside floor. Seconds later, Lorcan hit Primate with a devastating forearm as the animalistic Superstar was leaping from the ropes. This opened the door for a 2-on-1 big impact Ddt for the three-count.

My Opinion: 2.6 out of 5 – The right guys won a simple, light match that was a nice demo for some of the winners better moves.

Welcome to this review of WWE Worlds Collide 2020, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have several matches featuring Nxt battling Nxt UK. This should be a good show. Let’s get right to it.

Match #1: Kay Lee Ray def. Mia Yim The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In the battle between Nxt and Nxt UK, the British contingent of the black-and-gold brand landed the first blow, with Nxt UK Champion Kay Lee Ray picking up a victory over Mia Yim on the Worlds Collide Pre-Show. Ray’s title wasn’t on the line in the cross-brand brawl, but she was forced to fight as though it was, eating boots and chops from Nxt’s Hbic straight out of the gate. Superkicks, punches and Destroyers followed, but for all the punishment Ray’s 5’8” frame absorbed, however, she didn’t wilt. Instead, she excelled, going high-risk...

Match #1: Eddie Dennis def. Trent Seven The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

If Eddie Dennis sought to make a name for himself at Trent Seven’s expense, consider it a success. The former Headmaster knocked off The Big Strong Boi at TakeOver: Blackpool II for one of the biggest victories of his career. Overwhelming Seven early with an intense onslaught, including a massive Severn Bridge, Dennis tried to secure a quick victory with several early pinfall attempts. The Artful Dodger rallied with a tope suicida and snap dragon suplex on the outside of the ring, and from there, much of the action was a back-and-forth affair. That...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I was helping this lady with the blinkers on her car. She asked me to check if they were working and I said “yes, no, yes, no, yes, no…”. My dad told me that tonight. Yeah, there you go. Any-way, let’s see if Nxt can manage to do a whole show without WWE promos. I have my doubts/it can’t.

Match #1: Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm and Candice LeRae def. Kay Lee Ray, Bianca Belair and Io Shirai The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The piecemeal teams ultimately broke down in favor of Ripley, Storm and LeRae. The Evil Genius of the Sky and The Est of Nxt were unable to stay on the same page, and the Nxt Women’s Champion took advantage, taking Belair down with The Riptide for the victory.

Welcome to Jurassic Park! Over there, we have a big f—— dinosaur and over there, we have a big f—— dinosaur! I’m Samuel Hammond and th…damn TalkTech!

Match #1: Toni Storm def. Killer Kelly The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

One week after shocking the WWE Universe with her return to Nxt UK for the first time since TakeOver: Cardiff and attacking Nxt UK Women’s Champion Kay Ley Ray, Toni Storm stepped in the square circle against Killer Kelly. Moments after overcoming Kelly with a German suplex and Storm Zero in an aggressive matchup, Storm was suddenly attacked from behind by Kay Lee Ray. This brought Piper Niven to the ring, and she sent...

Match #1: Piper Niven def. Jinny The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Welcome to this review of Nxt TakeOver: WarGames 2019, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Taylor Swift sucks…sand-paper sounding dink.

That’s a whip sound-effect.

Match #1: Angel Garza def. Isaiah “Swerve” Scott The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Two of Nxt’s most promising blue chippers in Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and Angel Garza went toe-to-toe in the first-ever match on a TakeOver Pre-Show, and they didn’t disappoint. Garza flaunted a bevy of innovative offense to take control in the early goings before Scott dodged an all-too-early attempt at the Cerro de la Silla. Defeat seemed certain for Nxt’s resident lothario moments later when Scott connected in succession with a Death Valley Driver on the apron,...

Match #1: Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley (No Contest) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Triple H opened the door to Nxt and The Man came around and walked right in. Trash talking, sneak attacks and hostile takeovers have ruled the month during Raw, SmackDown and Nxt’s brand warfare on the road to Survivor Series. But Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch wasn’t having any of that. Taking Triple H up on the open invitation...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have an actual main event this week, which means that it goes more than ten minutes and won’t be easily forgotten.

Match #1: Kay Lee Ray def. Xia Brookside The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Although months have gone by since the turbulent events of Nxt UK’s high-stakes first-ever Women’s Battle Royal, Xia Brookside still came into her match against Kay Lee Ray eager for retribution after the treacherous Scottish competitor cost her an opportunity at the Nxt UK Women’s Title at TakeOver: Cardiff. Despite Brookside’s hard-fought efforts in the subsequent highly personal contest, Ray hit a...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Joaquin Phoenix wearing a green wig and playing with those creepy little girls from The Shining. Who in the hell would play with them? This has been a pretty good week for wrestling, so I suppose the European brand of the WWE is screwed if they blow this. Don’t worry. Nxt UK is still better than Step Brothers 2: Give Me A Kiss, Swishkabob. Okay, let’s rocket the pocket ‘till the locket breaks the socket so why doncha focket?!

Match #1: Piper Niven def. Isla Dawn The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Piper Niven encountered an extremely tough opponent in Isla Dawn during this week’s Nxt UK, and the bout was highlighted by The White Witch’s awesome display of power when she hoisted up her foe...

Match #1: Ligero def. Oliver Carter The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In the final moments of an opening contest between two purely explosive athletes, Ligero glided between the ropes to blast Oliver Carter with a stunner. He then followed up with a superkick kick and the C4L for the victory over the charismatic up-and-comer.

My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This worked out pretty well for a short one. These guys would do well on 205 Live,...

May 29, 2014. The date of the very first Nxt TakeOver show. Man… that was over five years ago, and in the time since that show aired live in the WWE Network, we’ve seen so much change. Not just in Nxt, but in WWE in general and in the world of pro-wrestling. Going back to that first show highlights not only how much has changed, but how far Nxt as a brand has come. It’s about to go live every week on the USA Network as a two-hour show, head-to-head with the first potential wrestling competition to WWE in years, Aew. The landscape of wrestling is different now. Going back, for the sake of this article to watch every Nxt TakeOver show was no small undertaking. There’s been 26 (28 including the UK TakeOver shows) of them to date. Still… I’m a huge fan of Nxt and it’s hardly...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I used to be Amanda Bynes, but a bee stung me and I turned into a pasty-faced loser who can’t even spell the word “a”. It took me twenty minutes to figure out what letter to press for that damn word. I miss my old variety show. I made Taran Killam famous! That big dumb lurch owes me a buck an hour. I was friends with a giant lobster. Any-way, Nxt UK is on the docket, so let’s get my Penelope wig back from the Nickelodeon storage locker, because I want my !@#$?%& show back! Amanda please!

Match #1: Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner def. Danny Jones & Harry Green The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Imperium opened Nxt UK with an address to the WWE Universe, basking in supreme glory in the...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Simon Pegg hates Jar Jar Binks, which is weird, since Pegg kinda looks like Jar Jar. Meesa no’um look like Brad Pitt…cuz ain’t no cave in Yorkshire. Okay, let’s jump right in to an episode of Nxt UK and see how much action we get out of the deal.

Match #1: Imperium (Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel) def. The Hunt The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Despite the unorthodox style of The Hunt’s Wild Boar and Primate, Imperium’s Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner defended their sacred mat against their animalistic opponents in Nxt UK’s opening contest, showcasing exquisite tag team precision that culminated with stereo dropkicks and the uppercut into the powerbomb on Wild Boar for the three-count.

My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This was fun for what it was,...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we’ve got Walter slamming some poor bastard to death in the main event, so come on back for a snuff video starring a German. Sauerkraut!

Match #1: Noam Dar def. Kenny Williams The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

At Kenny Williams’ request, The Lucky Yin battled his former friend turned bitter enemy Noam Dar in the opening contest. The animosity between the two competitors who know each other so well was clear from the word “go,” and the tension created a highly-personal, yet very intriguing contest both inside and outside the ring. When Williams’ sneaker came off in the height of the action, Dar used it as a distraction, and with the referee’s back turned, The Scottish Supernova hit a low blow on his opponent and quickly followed up with...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Kassius Ohno in the main event against Mark Andrews. Let’s see if it all comes together like it should.

Match #1: Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner of Imperium def. Saxon Huxley & Tyson T-Bone The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In the opening match of this week’s Nxt UK, Imperium’s Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner honored their “sacred” mat in a contest against Saxon Huxley & Tyson T-Bone. Huxley made the critical mistake of failing to see Barthel tag Aichner into the match and continued to battle Barthel. After the legal Aichner used a knee to take out T-Bone on the steel steps outside the ring, he nailed Huxley from behind, and Imperium finished off their prey with an uppercut off the second rope into the powerbomb for the three-count.

My...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more action from the European brand of Nxt that somehow got Kassius Ohno on its roster. Hey, it’s good for them. Okay, let’s get UK crazy! That sucked. I’d erase it, but delete buttons cost too much money for the son of a basketball.

Match #1: Ilja Dragunov def. Ashton Smith The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In the opening match of Nxt UK, the pure intensity of Ilja Dragunov proved too much for the talents of Ashton Smith, as he withstood everything his opponent threw at him and reigned supreme with Torpedo Moscow.

My Opinion: 2 out of 5 – As squashes go, this didn’t hurt my feelings, but it didn’t make my day either.

Match #2: Nxt UK Women’s Champion Toni Storm def. Candy Floss...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more stuff from Imperium and a big main event for the women. Okay, let’s make like the Hollywood Vampires and buy some mascara.

Match #1: Kassius Ohno def. Kenny Williams The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Kassius Ohno continued his quest to educate Nxt UK on “real British wrestling” by taking on Kenny Williams. Although Williams hit him with a back elbow off the top rope for the near-fall, Ohno proved more fortunate than The Lucky Yin when he caught his opponent in the ropes and delivered an earth-shattering elbow of his own to give him the three-count.

My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This was a fun match that was mostly a commercial for how great Kassius Ohno/Chris Hero is in the ring. I like Williams, but Ohno is...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the British version of Triple H’s Play-House on hand. Let’s see if it all came together as something fun or something funky.

Match #1: Jinny & Jazzy Gabert def. Xia Brookside & Isla Dawn The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In Nxt UK’s opening tag team matchup, Xia Brookside & Isla Dawn came together to face common enemies: Jinny and her intimidating new cohort, Jazzy Gabert. After Jazzy completely dismantled Xia & Isla, executing The White Witch with a devastating Dominator, The Fashionista demanded to be tagged in so that she could pick up the three-count for her tandem.

My Opinion: 2 out of 5 – This thing went by too quickly to become what it should have/could have been, but it did get them all on TV for a few minutes, so there you go.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…some matches. I really hope this goes better than Raw or Smackdown. I have a feeling I’m going to need to ask those sorts of questions about Raw and Smackdown more often than I should have to. Okay, let’s go UK crazy with a number one contender’s match for the main event.

Match #1: The Hunt def. Tyson T-Bone & Saxon Huxley The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In a brutal opening match between two of Nxt UK’s most rugged tandems, Wild Boar & Primate hit a monstrous pop-up German Suplex and stereo driving headbutts off the top rope to give The Hunt the win over Tyson T-Bone & Saxon Huxley. But as the dust cleared, Mark Coffey & Wolfgang unleashed a ruthless surprise assault on Wild Boar & Primate, perhaps...

Welcome to this review of Nxt: UK, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a couple of fun ones to look at, so let’s see if Thanos gets his head chopped off or not. Also, let’s see if the matches were good.

Match #1: Kassius Ohno def. Ligero The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In a crucial early moment of their brutal matchup, Ohno used Ligero’s momentum coming off the apron to drive him in the unforgiving steel steps. As a result, The Knockout Artist was able to maintain a strong advantage for the majority of the contest. Nevertheless, his resilient masked opponent battled back and regained the advantage against his aggressive adversary, taking him to the limit with an explosive offense both inside and outside the ring – including a wicked Sliced Bread off the steps and onto the ringside floor. In the height of the action,...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the final card before Wrestlemania, so let’s see if Vince tries to bomb the United Kingdom so he doesn’t have to pay for this brand any-more. It wouldn’t surprise me if Vince actually had a nuclear weapon at this point, so maybe that joke has the potential to be a hit a bit too close to home.

Match #1: Kenny Williams and Amir Jordan def. Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

In Nxt UK’s opening match, it looked as if Kenny Williams & Amir Jordan’s recent good fortune might finally have been coming to an end when they locked horns with the dominant force of Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner. However, just when Aichner was executing another impressive hanging suplex, the Lucky-Yin...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a nice big ol’ main event, an aperitif with a nice glass of red wine and chilled raspberry sigmon with blueberry drizzle…there’s no such thing as raspberry sigmon.

Match #1: Wolfgang def. Flash Morgan Webster The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Flash Morgan Webster kicked off the latest episode of Nxt UK in a head-to-head collision against Gallus’ Wolfgang, their first one-on-one encounter on Nxt UK. Despite The Modfather displaying a highly aggressive and always innovative offense throughout, The Last King of Scotland brought his efforts to a stretching halt. In the final moments, Wolfgang caught his high-flying opponent as Webster swung around the ring post and rammed him twice, spine first into the unforgiving steel. He then followed up with an earth-shattering powerbomb onto the ring apron.

Tenille Dashwood, the pro wrestler who used to perform as Emma for WWE, on Friday shared the reason she withdrew from the U.K.’s upcoming Ring of Honor tour — an apparently brutal bout of the chronic skin condition psoriasis.

“Today, with social media always highlighting the glamorous side of life, I feel it’s important to share a dose of reality,” she wrote in a long statement on her Twitter account.

Dashwood, who said she has been battling psoriasis since she was 14, noted that the current “flare-up” of the condition — marked by often itchy scales and red patches on the skin surface — “has now covered my entire body.”
