In NXT UK’s opening match, Piper Niven climbed into the squared circle seeking retribution on the crafty Jinny. However, both she and The Fashionista were out to prove that they should be the next in line to challenger Kay Lee Ray for the NXT UK Women’s Championship. Fueled by such high stakes, the stage was set for a fierce encounter.

In a pivotal moment of the knockdown, drag-out contest, the meddling Jazzy Gabert attempted to interfere, but the tactic caught up with her, and she soon found herself ejected from ringside. Then, in the height of the action the followed, Piper Niven emerged victorious with the earth-shattering Michinoku Driver.

After the bell, Piper called out Kay Lee Ray and made it clear she is coming for her NXT UK Women’s Title. This drew out the Scottish titleholder, who exchanged vicious slaps with Niven before her would-be challenger sent her back out of the ring with authority.

Then, out of nowhere, a returning Toni Storm charged the ringside area and attacked Ray! It was the first time NXT UK has seen her since she lost the title to the current champion at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff!

Ray managed to escape her onslaught, leaving Toni in an awkward stare down with Piper.
