It looks like we’ve got ourselves a pick ‘n’ nix show this week. We open with the titles, sadly not bedecked with jingling bells, fake snow or even CGI holly. We do have a “happy holidays” banner as we’re back in Andy Shepherd’s living room for the first time since the pandemic clip shows.

A Tag Team title match is set for next week s episode of NXT UK.
WWE has announced that Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang) will defend their NXT UK Tag Team titles against The Hunt (Wild Boar & Primate) on NXT UK next Thursday. The match was set up by a backstage segment with The Hunt & Eddie Dennis and Sid Scala that aired on this week s show.
In the segment, The Hunt and Dennis entered Scala s office earlier this week and Dennis asked him who the NXT UK Tag Team Champions were before Gallus. Dennis answered the question himself and said it was Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster. Dennis said The Hunt recently defeated Andrews & Webster. The Hunt intimidated Scala and said they should be the number one contenders to Gallus titles.
