Here's a place to check results and comment along with NXT UK’s TakeOver: Blackpool II live WWE Network special - happening Sun., Jan. 12, 2019 at the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, England.
Triple H’s newest brand is returning to the place where it all started for their third TakeOver. All of three of their titles will be on the line as part of the five announced matches (get caught up on everything you need to know if our preview here), and we’re expecting surprises with the NXT UK vs. NXT theme of Jan. 25’s Worlds Collide show.
The show will stream live on WWE Network. The opening bell is scheduled for 12 p.m. Eastern.
We'll update the results as they happen, and feel free to use this space to discuss all the action with the best pro wrestling community on the internet - before, during and after the show.
- William Regal was on the pre-show panel, which made it must-watch for yours truly.
- Tom Phillips and Nigel McGuinness are our announcers for the show itself.
- Eddie Dennis def. Trent Seven via pinfall after Next Stop Driver (and sending Seven headfirst into an exposed turnbuckle)
- Kay Lee Ray def. Toni Storm & Piper Niven in a Triple Threat to retain the NXT UK Women’s title, pinning Niven after superkicking Storm, who'd just hit Piper with a Pedigree and frog splash
- Tyler Bate def. Jordan Devlin via pinfall following Tyler Driver 97 AND a Spiral Tap. Bate gets a standing ovation from Triple H, William Regal & Johnny Saint... is this farewell to the UK for the b i g s t r o n g b o i?
- Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang) def. Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake), South Wales Subculture (Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster) & Imperium (Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner) in ladder match to retain their NXT UK Tag Team championship. The expected 25 minutes of madness, it ended when Wolfgang speared Aichner through a ladder, Barthel was dumped to the floor when Gallus toppled another one, and the champs climbed to get their belts.
- WALTER def. Joe Coffey via submission to retain the WWE United Kingdom championship; epic hoss fight that included ref bumps, an Ilja Dragunov run-in to protect Coffey from Alexander Wolfe. Coffey kicked out of everything The Ring General threw at him, and covered him for about a ten count after a power bomb while the referee was out after having been hit by a WALTER drop kick.
- Afterwards, Adam Cole & the boys show up after Imperium joined their leader in the ring. Undisputed ERA attack their Worlds Collide opponent and stand tall to end the show. The last spot is a Last Shot from the NXT champ to the UK one as Roderick Strong, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly were holding him up.
