Originally published at A-Kid wins NXT UK Heritage Cup tournament
The inaugural NXT UK Heritage Cup has concluded and the winner of the tournament was determined on the 11/26 episode of NXT UK on the WWE Network. Trent Seven took on A-Kid in the finals and it was A-Kid emerging victorious from the match.
A-Kid, who hails from Spain and is 24 years old is the first Heritage Cup champion. He submitted Trent Seven in the ‘sudden death’ overtime round to win with a 2-1 score. The Heritage Cup was contested under British Rounds rules. NXT UK GM Johnny Saint’s assistant Sid Scala was about to hand the trophy to A-Kid but Seven took it from Scala and handed it off to A-Kid.
