Blair Davenport def. Angel Hayze
Described by Nigel McGuinness as a “hellraiser,” the callous Blair Davenport picked up right where she left off prior to suffering a leg injury during a Street Fight in a match for Meiko Satomura’s NXT UK Women’s Championship several months ago.

Though he presumably suffered a mid-match arm injury, Wolfgang turned the tide by lifting his knees into his opponent’s midsection when Samuels leapt from the top rope. Moments later, Dar hopped onto the ring apron and charged Wolfgang, who booted Dar in the face to send him plummeting to the floor before wiping out Samuels with a thunderous Spear for the three-count.

Acknowledging the “Why, Trent, why?” chants, Seven said that his savage low blow of Tyler Bate is the moment that “Trent Seven saved the industry” and brought people back to the BT Sports Arena.
