The next challengers for Gallus’ Tag Team titles were determined on this week’s NXT UK.

In the main event of this week’s NXT UK episode, Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley) defeated Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster, Oliver Carter & Ashton Smith, and The Hunt (Wild Boar & Primate) in a fatal four-way number one contender’s elimination match. WWE hasn’t announced when Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang) will be defending their titles against Pretty Deadly.

Gallus watched the number one contender’s match from a balcony area, but only Joe Coffey was there when Stoker & Howley looked over after the match. Mark Coffey & Wolfgang then came out to the ramp and exchanged words with Pretty Deadly to close the show.

The Hunt’s manager Eddie Dennis was banned from accompanying Wild Boar & Primate to ringside but interfered by hitting Andrews with a steel chair after the match came down to Pretty Deadly vs. Andrews & Webster.

The Hunt were the first team eliminated from the match and Carter & Smith were the second team eliminated.

Gallus have been NXT UK Tag Team Champions since October 2019.
