For the first time, WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate defended his title. The noteworthy event was also significant in that it went down against his tag team partner and friend, Trent Seven. The early goings of this championship contest proved to be rather unusual as both Superstars took turns twirling each other’s mustaches and playfully testing their strength.

The showdown didn’t stay playful for long, though, as Bate’s uppercuts seemed to spark a fire within Seven. The match quickly went from friendly to vicious as both competitors gave the crowd a close-up look at “British Strong Style.”

Amid the heated clash, Seven nailed his Seven Stars Lariat, coming within a second of becoming the new WWE United Kingdom Champion. Bate, however, showed the will of a champion, withstanding Seven’s onslaught to hit his Tyler Driver ’97 for the victory.
