Dar to defend NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship against Gradwell

Published Nov. 25, 2021 9:58 a.m. ET

An incredible edition of NXT UK will feature Sam Gradwell challenging Noam Dar for the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship, Mark Andrews tangling with Jordan Devlin, and much more.

Though he resorted to less than honorable tactics on multiple occasions, The Scottish Supernova enjoyed a tremendous run to emerge triumphant in an eight-Superstar tournament to determine the next challenger to Tyler Bate.

The title fight wasn’t without controversy, either, but Dar nevertheless silenced his doubters with an edge-of-your-seat victory to take the cup from The Big Strong Boi.

Now, he must make his first title defense against Gradwell, who has been on a crusade for respect in recent months and weeks. Ever the antagonist, The Thunderstorm has been crowing to anyone who will listen that he deserves to be considered one of the founding fathers of NXT UK.

And with recent wins over Andrews and Dave Mastiff to his credit, Gradwell has a golden opportunity to back up his words by winning his first championship against Dar.

In another must-see clash, Andrews looks to follow up his impressive victory against Nathan Frazer with another win against Devlin, a former NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

It won’t be easy, as The Irish Ace has won 12 of his last 15 matches, including a slugfest with the fierce Joe Coffey last month.

Plus, Aleah James looks for payback and her third straight victory after being viciously attacked by Isla Dawn in the backstage area last week, while Angel Hayze is primed for a matchup with Jinny.
