NXT U.K. RECAP – April 29, 2021

Teoman defeats Rohan Raja by ref stoppage – 06:03

• Teoman applies a (Crippler) Crossface…Raja makes it inches from the ropes but Teoman rolls him back to the center of the ring…Raja refuses to tap but Teoman gives a yank backwards on the hold & an audible crack/crunch can be heard (good foley work, I presume)…Teoman releases while the “Sikh sworn, British born, Australian raised, Canadian trained” Raja screams in pain & holds his wrist…ref call for the stoppage at (06:03)…AFTER…Teoman on the mic, doesn’t know if Raja is “stupid or brave…perhaps you will see the EYE is watching…”

Flash Morgan Webster/Dani Luna/Mark Andrews vignette…being branded as “SUBCULTURE”

Sha Samuels defeats Levi Muir – 04:02

• Spinebuster for the win
• Shepard calls it a spinebuster, but it’s closer to a uranage with a lower grip, on the ribcage instead of the shoulder – maybe that’s a signature move & I’m just splitting hairs, but it definitely wasn’t the Double-A variety spinebuster.

Trent Seven in the UK PC…refers to himself as a “Founding Father”

• Sam Gradwell takes exception, “these fans may put you on a pedestal but you are not on mine”
