SHOW CLOSER PROMO

Eric Young of SAnitY says that he sent out enough warning to prepare everyone for what has transpired. You want to talk about 'takeovers'? Well, SAnitY just took over NXT and when Eric Young looked around at the faces in the locker room, he didn't see any viable threats so he sends another warning. SAnitY will be the ones holding the gold in NXT for a long, long time to come!

Countdown to WWE 2K19: 2 months, 1 week & 4 days (universe mode calendar)

REVIEW

• Trent Seven defeats Oney Lorcan in the title rematch for the WWE United Kingdom Championship. I dig how the movesets of these two guys mesh with each other.

• Drew McIntyre continues his ascent with a win over Wesley Blake in a match I that I liked.

• Aleister Black continues to stumble, this time against Danny Burch. He's in danger of becoming 'just another guy on the roster' if this trend continues. Here's hoping he has a rapid rebound. He doesn't have a 'cold streak' status effect quite yet so there's still opportunity to be had.

• The Ealy Brothers seem to simply have The Authors of Pain's number. "Precious" Paul should just take that menacing AoP gear, slap it on The Ealys and just bill them as The Authors of Pain from now on.

• The Ealy Brothers will go on to face DIY in a #1 contender's match for the NXT Tag Team Championships.

• After regaining the NXT Women's Championship from Billie Kay, Asuka defeats the other member of The Iconic Duo, Peyton Royce.
