2006 UK Championships[]
Main Competition[]
Sewer Snake would enter the 2006 UK Championships in Heat H where its first opponent outside of US soil would be Ka-Pow!
The fight started with the bots charging into each other, with Sewer Snake outpushing Ka-Pow! and shoved it into the wall. Ka-Pow! then got away but got shoved into the wall again, Sewer Snake attempted a flip but failed and then got under Ka-Pow! again however, Ka-Pow! was too heavy for it to flip but it eventually got under and successfully flipped it, with Ka-Pow! unable to self right and was left to be counted out, giving the win to Sewer Snake.
Sewer Snake's next opponent would be Kan-Opener.
Kan-Opener starts off by getting a bite on Sewer Snake's sides, Sewer Snake managed to turn and try to flip Kan-Opener albeit with success and accidentaly flipping itself in the process. Kan-Opener then starts to grab Sewer Snake from the back and Sewer Snake tried to outpush it, it also appears to start smoking a little before it stopped moving, getting counted out in the process, giving the win to Kan-Opener.
Sewer Snake's final opponent in its heat would be the flipper of Beast.
The fight started with Beast rushing at Sewer Snake but failed to get a flip in, it then lets Sewer Snake a chance to fight back and gets a flip in before flipping Sewer Snake out of the arena.
