After earning a WWE UK Title opportunity at the NXT UK Championship special in June, Noam Dar sets out to take that title from the vicious Pete Dunne in the first-ever NXT UK main event.

After making a surprise return at the NXT UK Championship special in June to win a WWE UK Title opportunity, Noam Dar set out to take that title from long-reigning champion Pete Dunne in the first-ever NXT UK main event, and NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint ushered in the title fight by shaking hands with each competitor.  

The intense grapplers fought tooth-and-nail inside and outside the ring, with The BruiserWeight targeting his opponent’s arm and fingers and The Scottish Supernova focusing on the titleholder’s knee. When the battle moved onto the apron and Dunne went after his opponent’s digits, he paid dearly for it when Dar hit an earth-shattering Release Fisherman Suplex onto the apron.

Both Dunne and Dar barely beat the count before getting back in the ring, lighting the fuse on a fierce back-and-forth consisting of strikes and submission maneuvers.

In the final moments, Dunne hit a devastating forearm to set up the Bitter End, but Dar countered with a Knee Bar submission maneuver at the last moment. Dunne fought his way to the ropes, however, and when Dar left his figures exposed, The BruiserWeight seized the moment, bending them back before stomping on them and executing the Bitter End for the hard-fought win.

As the smoke cleared on the hard-fought showdown, both pulled back their handshake on each other, signaling a different form of respect between the two competitors after the historic main event.
