Dragunov says this is a chance to see the true Wolfgang, and says that he is standing in the shadow of Gallus. He says it is one thing to earn something as part of a team, but something different when on his own. Wolfgang says the title belongs to Gallus, but Dragunov says the title belongs to those who are worthy.

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.
