NXT UK’s first-ever Iron Man match is set for next week.

WWE has announced that A-Kid and Jordan Devlin will face off in a 30-minute Iron Man match on next Thursday’s episode of NXT UK. WWE has been building to the match since Devlin defeated A-Kid on NXT UK four weeks ago.

The finish of that A-Kid vs. Devlin match was A-Kid tapping out as Devlin bent his knee back. Devlin didn’t let go of the hold until being forced to by the referee. A-Kid’s knee had been injured in storyline earlier in the match. Officials and medical personnel came out to the ring to check on A-Kid after the match.

There was a backstage segment two weeks ago where A-Kid told NXT UK management that he wanted an Iron Man match against Devlin. The following week, it was announced that the match had been made official. Devlin called A-Kid the dumbest man on the planet for requesting an Iron Man match with “a torn ACL.” Devlin said there’s no way A-Kid’s knee is 100 percent.

Devlin defeated Tristan Archer on today’s NXT UK episode. A-Kid then hobbled out to the ring on crutches and confronted Devlin. Devlin kicked the crutches away, but A-Kid then revealed that he’s fully recovered. A-Kid attacked Devlin and sent him out of the ring.
