Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) shows up. Joe Coffey says nobody likes Gallus, but Gallus does not care. As the crowd chants "No one likes you," Joe announces that next week, it is finally going to be Gallus vs. British Strong Style (Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Pete Dunne). Joe Coffey says that he is focused on Pete Dunne and that he and British Strong Style will get what is coming to them, and that Dunne will be lucky to even make it to NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, for this is Gallus' kingdom and the UK title is his.
In footage from earlier today, General Manager Johnny Saint and Assistant Sid Scala host a press conference for Toni Storm vs. Rhea Ripley for the NXT UK Women's Championship at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool. Storm said she never thought she would win the Mae Young Classic, but this match is on another level, and while Ripley has come and gone from the UK, she has stayed here and she plans on staying in the UK to defend the title properly. Rhea Ripley, when asked what she will do to keep the NXT UK Women's Championship, refuses to reveal her strategy and says that she beat Toni Storm first. When asked what has changed between the last match and now, Toni Storm says that when bag things happen, people change and become better. She has beaten some of the best women in the world, but Rhea Ripley constantly reminds Toni that she did not beat her. Rhea Ripley, when asked about her detractors, says she is "110% herself" and the face of the NXT UK's Women's Division, and that she proved that by beating Toni Storm. Johnny Saint has to stand between both women before a stand-off becomes physical.
We hear from Ligero, who says that he and Joseph Conners have been up and down the road with each other for over ten years despite Conners' dismissal of him. He says that Conners knows how hard he has worked to get here, and if he wants to dismiss him that easily, then he dares Conners to back up his words by facing him in the ring next week.
