The reigning NXT UK Tag Team Champions Zack Gibson and James Drake put up their titles on the line against GALLUS and the team of Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster. All three teams put up a phenomenal match and put everything on the line for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships.
After a hard-fought battle, a conclusion was reached when Mark Andrews hit a shooting star press on Zack Gibson and Webster pinned him for the three-count and the victory. With this victory, Andrews and Webster became the first-ever Welsh-born WWE Champions.
This was widely regarded as one of the highlights of the pay-per-view with some even calling it the “Match of the Night”.
