NXT UK Championship Match Gets 5 Star Rating

The main event of NXT UK was one of the most “anticipated matches in NXT UK’s history” according to HHH.

NXT UK Champion Walter put his title on the line against Ilja Dragunov in a instant classic.

Walter and Dragunov have had many matches over the years for wXw and PROGRESS, but this was their first match under the WWE banner and it didn’t disappoint. Walter ultimately picked up the win when the referee called a stop to the match after Walter locked Dragunov in a rear naked choke.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer gave the match a 5 Star rating.

It’s the first match in NXT to receive 5 stars since NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff. Which was also a championship match between Walter and Tyler Bate.
The NXT brand is no stranger to the 5 star rating but the main roster of WWE hasn’t received such a rating since CM Punk vs John Cena in 2011.
