WWE NXT UK recap for March 27, 2019: Fighting logistics unleashed

3. The most dominant woman in NXT UK?

Following her victory, Rhea Ripley gets on the microphone, apoplectic with rage over how any woman on the NXT UK roster could even think to get into the ring with her. She calls herself “the most dominant woman in NXT UK.”

Being a professional wrestling promo, this of course brings out someone else to contest Ripley on that claim. And it’s Piper Niven. Better known on the UK indies as Viper, she competed in the first Mae Young Classic, reaching the quarterfinals before being eliminated by Toni Storm. Niven enters the ring — Ripley’s cue to exit — and delivers a simple message: “The most dominant woman in NKT UK? Not anymore!”

We immediately go backstage to get Isla Dawn’s thoughts on Niven’s debut because they’re both Scottish (?) Dawn is happy a fellow Scotswoman has joined the roster. Kay Lee Ray who, would you believe it, also is Scottish, enters to say she could care less about having a fellow Scotswoman on the roster. Somehow this means Dawn and Ray need to have a match next week. At last we can settle the age-old debate of “if you’re Scottish and another Scottish person gets a job where you work, should you be happy or not?”

Before the Ripley-Brookside bout, we got to dig further into the mindset of Jinny. Despite bringing her up constantly — how she’s less marketable, a worse wrestler, etc. — Toni Storm is the last thing on Jinny’s mind. No, as she comes to us from WWE’s Performance Center in India, the only thing on Jinny’s mind is Storm … ‘s championship. All talk and confusion over what does or does not occupy Jinny’s every thought comes to an end in two weeks, when she and Storm have their match for the NXT UK Woman’s Championship.
