Walter Defeats Dave Mastiff: NXT UK March 5 – NXT UK Championship Match

Result: Walter defeats Dave Mastiff

Match: Mastiff ducked a chop from Walter and they both tried to knock each other down with shoulder tackles. It took a high cross body by Mastiff to take Walter down. On the mat, Mastiff cinched in headlock, but Walter made it back to his feet. Walter attempted a powerbomb, but Mastiff hit a back body drop and then Mastiff sat down on Walter’s chest. With Walter on the mat, Mastiff hit Walter with a forearm to the back.

Both men got to their feet and exchanged strikes in the center of the ring. Mastiff hit Walter with a German suplex into the bottom turnbuckle. As Mastiff ran to the opposite corner presumably with a plan to hit a cannonball, Walter rushed out and nailed Mastiff with a shotgun dropkick. Walter again failed to hit a powerbomb, and the two big wrestlers laid in a number of strikes.

Walter climbed to the top rope and dove for a big splash, but Mastiff moved out of the way. After a German suplex and a rolling senton, Mastiff got a near fall. Mastiff then missed a cannonball and Walter missed a shotgun dropkick. Mastiff then hit a senton and then the running cannonball in the corner for another near fall. When Mastiff climbed to the top rope, Walter pulled him off, but couldn’t sustain an advantage.

Walter finally hit a massive powerbomb for the pinfall victory.
