Alexander Wolfe defeats Travis Banks: NXT UK March 5

Result: Alexander Wolfe defeats Travis Banks after a sit-down power bomb.

Match: Both wrestlers ran at each other as soon as the bell rang. With Wolfe on the outside, Banks hit a suicide dive and then a double stomp when they got back in the ring. When Banks went for slice of heaven, Wolfe managed to kick Banks out of the air. Wolfe began to beat Banks down with a number of strikes. Banks attempted to fight back, but Wolfe hit a scoop slam and wrestled Banks to the mat with a side headlock.

Banks finally caught Wolfe with a forearm and then several low dropkicks and a double stomp. With Wolfe on the outside, Banks ran across the apron and connected with a PK. After tossing Wolfe back in the ring, Banks climbed to the top rope and again hit a double stomp. As Banks attempted a vertical suplex, Wolfe countered into a spinning suplex.

Wolfe couldn’t follow up because Banks evaded several strikes and hit some of his own. Eventually Wolfe nailed Banks with a German Suplex, and moments later Banks slipped away hitting slice of heaven. Banks then hit a double stomp to the ring apron. When Banks went for another PK, Wolfe swept Banks’ legs and hit a draping DDT to the floor. Back in the ring, Wolfe hit a sit-down powerbomb for the pinfall victory.
