United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate beat Oney Lorcan with a Tyler Driver '97 on his first appearance in WWE NXT.
Bate, 19, defeated fellow Midlander Pete Dunne in January to become the inaugural United Kingdom Champion following a two-night competition at Blackpool's Empress Ballroom.
And the Dudley-born star - who also knocked off England's Danny Burch, Ireland's Jordan Devlin and Scotland's Wolfgang in that tournament - continued his impressive form on Wednesday night.
Bate received a huge reaction from the crowd as he performed an airplane spin on Oney Lorcan and also nailed a running wheel kick as his opponent attempted a running uppercut.
The teenager will now defend his United Kingdom Title against Moustache Mountain tag-team partner Trent Seven on an upcoming edition of NXT.
Elsewhere, No Way Jose downed the guitar-strumming Elias Samson with a forearm to the jaw, while Ember Moon conquered Aliyah with an Eclipse corkscrew stunner.
