After winning the second annual United Kingdom Championship Tournament in June and taking United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne to the limit, Zack Gibson emerged in NXT UK for the first time.
 
Greeted by a sea of boos from the WWE Universe, Liverpool’s No. 1 made it clear that the only reason he didn’t beat Dunne was because he had competed in three matches in one night and had no time to prepare to face the titleholder the following evening. Turning his attention to Noam Dar, Gibson called him an “embarrassment” who lost to The BruiserWeight and wasting an opportunity he was “handed.”

Dar hit the scene, but before they came to blows, General Manager Johnny Saint ordered both competitors into his office. Later, it was announced that they will square off next week on NXT UK.

Two young men need to settle their differences in the proper way. Next week in our #NXTUK main event, “Liverpool’s Number One” @ZackGibson01 will go one on one with “The Scottish Supernova” @NoamDar.
