Mark Andrews and Dan Moloney are up next in the first round of the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament and although the crowd had already seen some great matches by this point, they were in no way cooling down.
Mark Andrews was the babyfaced fan favorite in this bout who is a member of the band that plays his own entrance music, and that’s always neat. Moloney slowed Andrews down with a stiff chop early on, but Andrews took control once more with a nice little flip in the corner to avoid further offense.
Moloney hit Andrews with a very high flapjack move, but Andrews was able to kick out of the pin attempt. Moloney was able to keep Mark Andrews grounded for a bit until Andrews hit Moloney with a 619e-esque maneuver to the midsection.
Andrews hit Moloney with running knees in the corner and followed it up with a very good looking standing moonsault for a two-count. Moloney moved himself to the outside and Andrews followed him out by hitting him with another moonsault.
Moloney caught a good looking soccer kick on Andrews and got a close two-count. Moloney followed it up with an attempted suplex but Andrews countered with a stunner. Mark Andrews immediately climbed to the top rope and hit his opponent with a shooting star press for the victory.
