Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel and Alexander Wolfe are not far behind, and Wolfe welcomes Finn Balor to "the domain of Imperium (Walter, Aichner, Barthel, Wolfe)" before the four of them surround the ring as part of "a proper welcome." Finn Balor not only overpowers them, but outsmarts them, and dives out of the ring.

In footage from earlier this week, Piper Niven says that she and Toni Storm are like sisters, and while they sometimes fight, she could not sit back and watch as Kay Lee Ray crippled Toni.

Jordan Devlin beats Dan Moloney.

Kassius Ohno shows up. He says management told him to come out to the ring and make an apology, and he hates it when it comes off as rehearsed, fake and scripted. He says that he wants to speak from the heart, then reads from his phone as he apologizes to Ashton Smith. He then apologizes to his family while still reading from him phone, then says he just couldn't help himself and says it was gratifying and fulfilling to take away someone's consciousness over and over again, and that this is why he came to NXT UK. He says he could have gone anywhere, but he chose NXT UK because NXT UK chose him and asked him to make his presence felt, which is what he did. Afterwards, he couldn't help but notice "The Kiwi Buzzsaw" Travis Banks play the hero and "imitate British wrestling." He says he did not travel halfway across the world to involve himself with Banks, as his eyes are set on the bigger things, and states that if Banks were in the ring with him, he would find himself busted and broken to bits.

She says that Brookside talks tough, but she showed her a true nightmare. As for the rest of the division, she proclaims herself to be the most dominant woman in NXT UK.

We hear from Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel. Barthel says it is the fans' fault that people find humor in anything in the wrestling business and that there is nothing funny about them.

Barthel says there is more to NXT UK than the fans think to the point that he considers NXT UK sacred.

Walter moves the microphone when asked if he has anything to say at this time, and simply signs the contract for the match. Dunne tells Walter he doesn't have to say anything, as it is not just the fans who want this match, for he wants the match as well. He claims that Walter will know what everyone else has known for the past 674 days: that NXT UK belongs to him and that the WWE United Kingdom Championship is and always will be his. He then signs the contract.

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.
