Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala moderates a press conference between Walter and Ilja Dragunov, and demands there be no physicality tonight. Alex McCarthy from talkSport asks Walter if he believes his championship reign is under threat, to which Walter replies no, as the difference between him and Dragunov is that he is here for the greater good as well as the tradition and history of professional wrestling, and says that while Ilja is a great athlete, he does not have the mental ability to step up to his level and that he will have to prove this when he wrestles him again. Ace from BBC 1Xtra asks Dragunov what he has learned from last year's defeat, and Dragunov admits it has been a dark time since then, and that failures like this last in one's mind and that he had lost control since then, but he has since found himself again and he had to learn to compete at a top level again. Alistair McGeorge from Metro.co.uk asks Walter Dragunov what to expect from next week's rematch, and Dragunov says to expect brutality and that people will forget what the world "violence" means, and that the outcome will be difference. As Dragunov says that Walter is arrogant and has a god complex, Walter interrupts him and says he redefines the sport when he wrestles, and that Dragunov was happy enough to be a part of that. He then says he is tired of seeing Dragunov being sad about himself and says that he is a fraud and "all show," as Dragunov realized that while he is fantastic, he is not man enough and on his level, and that all his displays of intensity and motivation are there to get attention. Walter then demands a saddened Dragunov look at him as he speaks in German. Dragunov says he thought it was enough to be champion last time, and while he has respect for Walter because Walter makes him a better wrestler when he steps in the ring with him, the respect is now gone for what Walter did to him afterwards and all that is left is hate for the person that he nearly made him into when he broke him, saying it was not necessary.
