Backstage, Joseph Conners and Jinny run into Emilia McKenzie and Meiko Satomura, and Jinny tells Emilia that nobody cares about her, saying she is merely stating facts and that Emilia is pathetic. Emilia is unfazed.
Backstage during the break, Jack Starz and "Bomber" Dave Mastiff's interview is interrupted by Nina Samuels as part of "The Nina Samuels Show." Mastiff mentions Symbiosis (Eddie Dennis, Primate, T-Bone) sticking their noses where they don't belong, but as soon as Nina Samuels makes the interview about her, Mastiff and Starz walk off before she can notice.
Dani Luna beats Xia Brookside. When Luna offers to shake Xia's hand, a frustrated Xia slaps it away.
We see a video package for Blair Davenport.
Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala is met by Stevie Turner, who tells Sid Scala to reinstate Blair Davenport to ensure that Scala never has to suspend her again. Scala says he and General Manager Johnny Saint will take it into consideration.
In footage from earlier this week, Sam Gradwell says he vandalized Subculture's ("Flash" Morgan Webster, Mark Andrews, Dani Luna) mural because he has been here since day one and he is tired of people like Subculture getting like all the attention. He says he is better than Mark Andrews, then Mark Andrews shows up with a broken skateboard and hits Gradwell with it. Both men are immediately held back.
Charlie Dempsey beats Josh Morrell by submission in his NXT UK debut.
Backstage, A-Kid and Ilja Dragunov have a face-to-face meeting. A-Kid congratulates Ilja Dragunov on beating Walter, then says that they are not enemies and that he is the only one right now who understands Dragunov, saying that he too felt the pressure before defending the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship. He says he needs to create a legacy, and to do that, he has to win the NXT UK Championship. Dragunov says he understands A-Kid's motivation, then says he just came off of beating NXT UK's most dominant champion in Walter and tells A-Kid not to be naive and not to compare himself to him. A-Kid says he does not have to compare himself to anyone, and asks Dragunov how it felt to think about one man and one championship for an entire year, then says it is about making mistakes, not will or enduring pain. He also says that when Dragunov loses his temper, he will catch him, and Dragunov will either "tap, snap or nap." Dragunov says it does not matter what trick A-Kid brings out of his pocket, as he did not win the NXT UK Championship through technical abilities. He says that the title needs pain, struggle and will and that one must be "more than human" to hold it. He says that he has to put A-Kid in his place in two weeks, for now, he is the tsar while A-Kid is "just a kid." Both men then shake hands.
We hear from Wolfgang. Wolfgang says that he wants to inspire future generations much like how past generations inspired him. We also hear from Noam Dar, who says that the heritage of the business means everything to him, and says being humble is not as good as being aware. He says that he is getting better, and if he hasn't caught up to anyone yet, he will soon. Wolfgang says the difference between him and Noam Dar is that he cares about heritage while Noam Dar cares more about money and material things. Noam Dar says Wolfgang may have built these roads, but he is breaking speed records and he is moving at the speed of light and will run him over next week. Wolfgang says this is about himself and what he can do, and all that is standing in his way is Noam Dar. Noam Dar says that Wolfgang is not the only dangerous animal in town and that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and next week, he will eat him alive. Wolfgang and Noam Dar face off in the finals of the NXT UK Heritage Cup #1 Contender's Tournament next week.
Next week: Jinny vs. Emilia McKenzie! Sam Gradwell vs. Mark Andrews!
