By Carl Gac
Quarterfinals Match
Trent Seven vs. Wolfgang
Result: Wolfgang wins via pinfall
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
The battle of the two big men saw Wolfgang win after a Senton from the top rope. Probably the best match of the tournament so far, with both men putting in a great showing.

The two bruisers gave as good as they got, with Wolfgang kicking out of Seven’s Seven Star Lariat before winning the match. Even with this loss, you should expect to see Seven and Wolfgang become big stars on any WWE UK programming going forward.
Quarterfinals Match
Tyler Bate vs. Jordan Devlin
Result: Tyler Bate wins via pinfall
Rating: 2.7 out of 5 stars
Tyler Bate wins after the big punch and Tyler Driver 97 leaves Devlin down for the three count. Bate looks like a massive star already, at only 19 years of age he has the fans eating out of the palm of his hands. Devlin put in a solid effort, but couldn’t get the advantage like he did last night.

Bate is deceptively strong for his size, but could see a tough battle with Wolfgang in the second semifinal.
