On 25 August 2018, Samuels competed on the First Round NXT UK Women's Championship Tournament, where she was defeated by Dakota Kai. On 23 January 2019, Samuels faced Lana Austin, where Samuels was victorious. Samuels faced Toni Storm for the NXT UK Women's Championship on the 19 April episode of NXT UK. She competed in the Battle Royal to decide the number one contender for the NXT UK Women's Championship on the 14 June episode, where Kay Lee Ray was victorious. On 12 November 2020, Samuels went up against Xia Brookside. In the match, Samuels attempted to fake a knee injury but was backfired when Brookside rolled her up for the quick win. After the match, however, Samuels still gained the upper hand by assaulting Brookside at ringside. The feud between Samuels and Brookside would continue weeks to weeks. Notably, Samuels cost Brookside a match against Isla Dawn on 10 December 2020. Eventually, the two faced again on the 4 February 2021 episode of NXT UK, where Samuels was victorious after hitting Brookside with her handbag. Brookside demanded a rematch where the loser becomes the winner's personal assistant for a whole month. And on the 25 February episode, Brookside defeated Samuels in that match. Throughout in March, Samuels would be forced to work as Brookside's assistant. On 18 August 2022, Samuels was the one of several NXT UK employees released from their contracts with the announcement of NXT UK was going into hiatus and the upcoming launch of the new brand, NXT Europe.[2]
