Ep 20. Main Event: Rhea Ripley vs. Deonna Purazzo for the NXT UK Women's Championship

In this episode of WWE NXT UK, it's the women's turn to headline the main event as Rhea Ripley defends her NXT UK Women's Championship against Deonna Purazzo. Ripley has been dominating the women's division since winning the title in January, but Purazzo is a tough opponent and won't go down easily.

Before the match begins, we are treated to a series of backstage interviews with both Ripley and Purazzo, as well as their respective allies. Ripley is confident that she will retain her title and continue to be the dominant force in the women's division, while Purazzo is excited for the opportunity to prove herself and become the new champion.

As the match begins, both Ripley and Purazzo come out swinging, each trying to gain the upper hand early on. Ripley uses her size and strength to overpower Purazzo, but Purazzo responds with her superior technique and quickness. The crowd is on the edge of their seats as the two women trade blows and counter each other's moves.

The match is back and forth for several minutes, with neither woman able to gain a clear advantage. Ripley hits Purazzo with a brutal suplex, but Purazzo manages to kick out at the last second. Purazzo then takes control of the match with a series of high-flying moves, including a top-rope crossbody that sends Ripley crashing to the mat.

Just when it looks like Purazzo might be about to win the title, Ripley digs deep and unleashes a devastating powerbomb that leaves Purazzo stunned. Ripley follows up with her trademark Riptide finisher, and the referee counts to three. Ripley has successfully defended her NXT UK Women's Championship.

But the action doesn't end there. As Ripley celebrates her victory, she is attacked from behind by Jinny, who has been feuding with Ripley for several weeks. Jinny takes advantage of the opportunity to beat down Ripley, but Purazzo intervenes and saves Ripley from further harm.

The two women then share a moment of mutual respect as they shake hands in the middle of the ring. Purazzo may not have won the championship, but she has earned the respect of Ripley and the NXT UK fans. The women's division in NXT UK is stronger than ever, and it looks like there will be plenty of exciting matches and rivalries to come in the future.
