On this week s NXT UK, it was announced that Piper Niven will face Jinny in a number one contender s match on the Thursday, January 7 episode of NXT UK. Jinny had cost Niven during a title match last month when it appeared that Niven could have been on the verge of getting the win.
KLR and Niven faced off in a falls count anywhere match for the NXT UK Women s Championship on the November 19 episode of NXT UK. Jinny attacked Niven during the match and yelled at Niven for disrespecting her. Niven fought Jiny off, but she returned near the end of the match. Niven looked like she was going to slam KLR off a production crate and through a table. But Jinny hit Niven with a steel chair. Niven and KLR both fell through the table, with KLR landing on top of Niven and the referee counting the pin for KLR to retain her title.

Isla Dawn vs. Kay Lee Ray
We’re opening with a women’s match for a change, as Isla Dawn returned following her win last week. Unsurprisingly, Kay Lee Ray’s 2-0 over Isla in prior TV matches…
We open with a lock-up, as Kay Lee worked over Isla’s left arm and wrist. It turns into a hammerlock, but Dawn counters out with a wristlock, before an Irish whip was reversed, with Dawn landing a knee to the gut. A kick and a double knee drop squashes Ray for a two-count, but Kay Lee’s right back up with a clothesline and some stomps.
