NXT UK News: Kay Lee Ray Debuts, WALTER Teams With Pete Dunne, Eddie Dennis Returns Next Week
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.
