WWE notes: NXT UK, 205 Live, 50 Greatest Tag Teams series
– A pair of matches have been announced for the NXT UK episode that will air two weeks from today.
The Thursday, June 3 edition of NXT UK will feature Ilja Dragunov vs. Noam Dar and Rampage Brown vs. Joe Coffey. Brown vs. Coffey is a rematch from when Brown defeated Coffey this February.
On this week’s NXT UK, Dragunov appeared as the guest on Dar’s Supernova Sessions talk show. Dar mocked the anger issues that Dragunov has dealt with since losing to NXT United Kingdom Champion WALTER last October. Dragunov said he’s not that person anymore but can still hurt Dar very, very badly. Dar claimed that Dragunov was scared of WALTER and is scared of him.
Brown defeated Coffey’s Gallus stablemate Wolfgang on this week’s NXT UK.
