Baxter attempted to catch Holland by surprise by striking the bell, but that hardly stunned the threatening Briton. Holland caught the speedy Baxter, beat him up and bruised him before punching the hyper into the canvas with Northern Grit to get a three-count.

After the call, Holland grabbed the microphone to alert Timothy Thatcher that this demolition was a preview of what would happen when they collided this Tuesday on NXT.
