Ilja Dragunov vs. Joe Coffey

NXT UK – February 20

With Coffey on the outside, Dragunov leaped from the top turnbuckle to the floor hitting Coffey on the way down.

Coffey would attack the right leg of Dragunov focusing all of his offense on the knee. After hitting a shin breaker from the top rope to the mat, Coffey used a Boston Crab to attempt a submission. Dragunov made it to the ropes and managed to stay out of the Boston Crab despite Coffey trying to go back to it.

Ilja earned a near fall when he hit a top rope senton. When Dragunov went back to the top rope, Joe Coffe stopped him and hit an avalanche overhead belly to belly suplex.

Dragunov hit a coast to coast dropkick followed by Torpedo Moscow for the pinfall victory.
