Minutes to Bell Time

NXT UK February 27: NXT UK Women’s Championship I Quit Match

Action immediately spilled to the outside where Toni slammed Ray into the post, barricade, and steps. Back in the ring, Toni locked in an STF. After Toni released the hold, Ray grabbed Toni into a tornado DDT. Ray put Toni into a Gory special, but Storm grabbed a hold of the ropes and swung Ray to the outside.

Toni grabbed a table from underneath the ring and set it up on the floor. Ray rammed Toni’s face into the apron twice before pulling Toni up onto the turnbuckle, but Toni got out of it. Storm set up KLR on the table and hit a frog splash from the second rope through the table. Back on the ring apron, Toni went for Storm Zero, but Ray evaded. Storm next attempted a suicide dive, but Ray caught Toni with a strike and then a draping DDT to the floor.

Ray found some athletic tape under the ring, tossed Toni back in the ring, and then taped Storm’s arms together behind her back. After a couple of strikes to the face and chest, Ray went to the outside to grab a chair. Out of desperation, Toni hit Ray with a headbutt before she got hit with the chair. The headbutt wasn’t enough to sustain an advantage. Ray put Toni’s head in the chair and super kicked her. Ray again wrapped Toni up in a chair and leaped from the top rope crashing down on the chair. When Ray attempted to leap from the top again, Toni quit.
