Oliver Carter and Ashton Smith head to the ring to start tonight's show. Smith says he thought back to a couple years ago when he could not get a win, let alone make it onto the card, and was convinced that nobody was here to see him wrestle until Oliver Carter became his tag team partner. He then says that he was able to see a light at the end of the tunnel and wrestle with a smile on his face. Smith says he has wanted to be a WWE Superstar since he was a kid, and says that the fans' energy made it all worth it when they became NXT UK Tag Team Champions. Ashton Smith then announces that he suffered a massive knee injury in the match where he won the titles and ruptured his MCL, and as a result, he and Oliver Carter must vacate the NXT UK tag team titles. He says that he and Carter were looking forward to their first title defense, but he has let the fans and Oliver Carter down. Carter tells Ashton that he let nobody down and talks about the bond they formed three years ago, and no matter what, he will always have his back. Ashton says he will need to take time off to heal, then reminds Oliver Carter the hottest talent under the sun and that he cannot wait for everyone to see how good he is. He then says that when he returns, he will return with a fire in his belly bigger than anyone has ever seen as nobody will tell him that he cannot achieve his dreams twice. Ashton then asks Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala to show up, which Scala does. Scala says he and Johnny Saint have seen the medical reports and that the brand needs tag team champions. Ashton and Oliver hand the belts back, but not before one more round of applause with help from Scala. Ashton and Oliver leave, then Scala declares the tag team titles vacant before Die Familie (Teoman, Rohan Raja, Charlie Dempsey) show up. Rohan Raja says Die Familie was never pinned and that the titles are techically theirs, then demands that Scala declare Die Familie the tag team champions. Scala tells Die Familie that they are not the only team wanting an opportunity, then the team of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, the team of Wild Boar and Mark Andrews, and the team of "Bomber" Dave Mastiff and Jack Starz show up. Scala then announces all four teams will be in a four-way elimination match to decide the new NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

Wolfgang proposes they make the match more interesting, and laughs as Sha Samuels walks away while yelling at Wolfgang that he has no chance.
