This post will be updated continuously to reflect the ongoing coverage of WWE NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff results starting once the pre-show kicks off. Stay tuned!

WWE NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff Results

Kickoff is set for 1:30pm EST and is now beginning. The pre-show is just a recap/video package type thing, although Cesaro clarifies that he's wrestling tonight in an open challenge.

Travis Banks vs. Noam Dar

RESULT: Dar wins by pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Not a bad match, but nothing super amazing, either.

Open Challenge: Cesaro vs. Ilja Dragunov

RESULT: Cesaro wins by pinfall.
THOUGHTS: The 40 rotations on the Cesaro Swing was the best part of this, by far. Surprised Dragunov didn't win, but I'm not against it, either, as I'm a fan of Cesaro. Better match than what preceded it.

After the match, Cesaro comes back into the ring to tease hurting Dragunov some more, but offers him a handshake instead.

NXT UK Tag Team Championship Match: Grizzled Young Veterans Zack Gibson and James Drake (c) vs. Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) vs. Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster

RESULT: Andrews and Webster win the titles by pinfall
THOUGHTS: Fun match that was largely helped from the crowd being so heavily invested in Andrews and Webster.

Last Man Standing Match: Dave Mastiff vs. Joe Coffey

RESULT: Coffey wins.
THOUGHTS: This was okay, but not as good as I was hoping it would be. The ending was meh. Not sure why Coffey won, either, as I don't think that will be great for the long run of NXT UK.

NXT UK Women's Championship Match: Toni Storm (c) vs. Kay Lee Ray

RESULT: Kay Lee Ray wins the title by pinfall.
THOUGHTS: WOW that was disappointing from start to finish. Yeesh. I wasn't into that match in the slightest bit and I don't think Kay Lee Ray will be on par or better as champion. Thumbs down all around.

United Kingdom Championship Match: WALTER (c) vs. Tyler Bate

RESULT: WALTER retained the title by pinfall
THOUGHTS: Good match that took a while to get started, but ultimately ended up being a big thumbs up.
