Jinny Promo 

The Queen of NXT UK will now address you. Ever since I was a little girl, every command I had given had always been obeyed. So when my previous associate disobeyed me, that was the end of her career. I do not tolerate insolence. I do not tolerate unprofessionalism, and I do not tolerate disobedience. I made her relevant. I gave her a platform. I gave Jazzy Gabert, her fifteen minutes of fame and wasted it. Perhaps in the future I may give somebody else that platform. If they’re lucky enough to be associated with me. But for now, it’s about one person and one person only that is the queen of NXT UK, and no one will ever disrespect me again.
