WWE United Kingdom Championship Match
Pete Dunne (c) vs Tyler Bate
They lock up to start the match before Pete takes Tyler down and immediately focuses on joint manipulation before Tyler takes him down and does the same thing. Pete reverses Tyler and takes him back down before putting a head scissor on him and elbowing him in the midsection until Tyler escapes. They do a test of strength that Pete wins before putting Tyler in a wheelbarrow hold, then Tyler escapes and dropkicks Pete into the corner. Pete takes Tyler back down and tries to pin his wrists to the ground for a series of quick two counts, then backs into the ropes for the break once Tyler gets back to his feet. Pete takes Tyler down once more and focuses on his ankle before Tyler stands on his head and spins to get free.
Tyler sends Pete out of the ring before Pete drops him with a forearm when he goes out after him, then they stomp on each other's hands by placing them on top of the steps. Pete hits a suplex off of the steps and to the floor before they get back in the ring and Pete starts stomping on Tyler and kicking him in the back.
