It was a big night of NXT UK action on Wednesday with a major debut and two top stars forming a dream team.
In the main event of the program, WALTER teamed with Pete Dunne to battle Joe & Mark Coffey of Gallus. The NXT UK Champion and arguably his greatest challenger showed no signs of dissension, dispatching of the Coffey brothers and proving that as good as they are as singles stars, they could make for a deadly duo.

After the bout, WALTER and Dunne stood to face-to-face, showing that even though they can get along, they might be better off as enemies.
