When she is interviewed, Xia Brookside feels attacked and that Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala set her up. When she looks behind her for validation, everyone walks away from her.

Jordan Devlin heads to the ring. Devlin says that he is the longest-reigning Cruiserweight Champion in WWE and the star and ace of the brand, then says there is one thing left for him to do: take the NXT UK title. He tells Ilja Dragunov to come to the ring and face him so he can show how much of an embarrass him. Dragunov shows up, and says that while he appreciates his abilities, he does not understand all the talking, saying that where he comes from, people do not talk very much. Dragunov then tells Devlin that all he has to do is ask if he wants a title match. Devlin says he knows who he has beaten for the title and defended it against, saying they were all good men who would say that the mat is sacred, then says that he is not like those men, as he will not quit and there is nothing sacred to him. Devlin says he only needs one chance to beat Dragunov for the NXT UK title. Dragunov says there is nothing Devlin can do to intimidate him, and that whatever fight Devlin wants to bring, he is prepared for everything. Devlin says he hopes Dragunov knows what he is getting into, that his wife forgives him for it and that he can explain to his son Constantine why he has to take care of him. Dragunov punches Devlin, and referees quickly move in to break up the brawl.

We hear from Amale, who says that all of her frustration has not come out of nowhere, because she has always been told no because she is a woman and where she came from as well as being the daughter of immigrants. She mentions her law school degree and her past as a teacher, then says she could have been anything she wanted to be but chose WWE. She says it did not go as expected and that no one believed in her, including herself, but after her first try-out, hope came back into her life. Amale says she fights for her dreams, because this is her life now. She says that some people do not understand how much this means to her, and that she is sick of people always telling her what tod o. Amale says she wants to be on top of the division and on the big stage, and that nothing means more to her than this. She says that her parents are proud of her now, because she is happy here after becoming the first French Superstar in WWE. She says her name is Amale, and she is hope.

We hear from Kenny Williams, who says there are people in life who like to pretend and put up a facade, pretending they are something they are not. He says there is no shortage of pretenders in NXT UK and there is no bigger pretender than Mark Andrews. He says that Mark Andrews is a scared, insecure little boy, and says that he used to be a pretender but is now everything Andrews says he is and ten times worse. Kenny says that when he is done with Andrews, there will be nothing left but a culture of scum.

Sam Gradwell beats Sha Samuels. During the match, Gradwell pretends to be choked by Noam Dar's scarf around his neck, and Noam Dar inadvertently places himself near Gradwell - to Gradwell's convenience - when the referee catches wind of this. As the referee chides Noam Dar, Gradwell hits Samuels low with the scarf as the ref is not looking to get the win.
