Backstage, NXT General Manager Ava tells Stevie Turner that he has been phenomenal for the past couple of weeks regarding the matches she has pitched, the talent she has acquired and even getting a champion from the original EVOLVE on the show. She says it is time for the next step in Stevie Turner's journey, and has Chuey Martinez head out to the ring for a special announcement. Chuey Martinez announces that Stevie Turner is the new General Manager for Evolve. Stevie Turner says it is an aboslute honor to be named the new general manager, and the fact that Ava put her trust in her and not Robert Stone makes it that much sweeter. She says that if the last few weeks ahve been anything to go by, this is the place where pro wrestling evolves, and it will continue to be that way under her leadership. She says that everything is up for grabs and wants to know who will take the top spot, who will achieve championship contendership, and who will be the face of Evolve. She says that all comes down to who impresses her as well as the fans, then kicks things off with two men who were going at it last week: Wolfgang and Sam Holloway. As everyone else leaves, Keanu Caver and Harlem Lewis bump into each other and have an argument, and when Luca Crusifino gets between them, all three men get separated by officials.
Wolfgang beats Sam Holloway with a top rope Swanton Bomb to the back despite his back being hurt and giving out during the match following a slam into the ring apron. After the match, Joe Coffey speaks towards the camera, asking General Manager Stevie Turner if she remembers him knocking out Jordan Oasis before demanding that anyone who wants a scrap with Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) be sent their way.

Drako Knox shows up at the announce table, saying last week was the biggest opportunity of his life and that he feels alive in the ring and feels a hunger that he has not felt since his college football days. Drako says that connecting fist to face is a good feeling. He says that last week may not have turned out like he wanted, but he can handle that and learn; what he cannot handle is "that big goof" in the VIP Section showing him up. Drako says that Tate Wilder is out with an injury and that he is out here by himself, but if anyone thinks they can show him up, he can handle that, and demands that he and the long-haired man from last week settle things in the ring. Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) is seen entering the VIP Section.

We then get a closer look at "Super" Sean Legacy, who has wanted to be a professional wrestling since high school and was picked on a lot and told that he could not do it. Legacy says he sees himself as a role model, as someone once told him that they were told they could not but is now doing it because of him.
"Super" Sean Legacy beats Timothy Thatcher. After the match, Timothy Thatcher gives Sean Legacy a sarcastic clap, then Swipe Right (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) confront Sean Legacy in the ring. All of a sudden, Cappuccino Jones and Jack Cartwheel show up to stand by Sean Legacy, and Ice Williams reluctantly stands with Swipe Right before standin with Legacy, Cappuccino and Cartwheel, much to Swipe Right's chagrin.

Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for September 9, 2021
Before the next match, Sam Gradwell says the big bad wolf isn't half as scary when he comes knocking a second time, and that tonight is about heritage, which he claims Wolfgang knows nothing about. Gradwell says he will honorably and prestigiously rattle his jowls and wobble his kidneys.
Wolfgang beats Sam Gradwell two falls to one (2-1) to advance to the semifinals of the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship #1 Contender's Tournament. Gradwell scores the first fall with 2:37 (two minutes and thirty-seven seconds) left in Round 3 after a knee to Wolfgang's face and left shoulder that also involves Gradwell's knee brace. Mark Coffey has to pop Wolfgang's shoulder back into place before Round 4. Wolfgang scores the second fall with 1:12 (one minute, twelve seconds) left in Round 4 after a headbutt followed by a reverse vertical suplex as Gradwell keeps targeting his left shoulder.

Noam says he taught him the ropes and led him to water like a dumb horse, and that he is everything Williams wants to be; the only difference is that he is a stand-out while Kenny Williams is a stand-up. Williams says the spaceman will be crashing down in the tournament thanks to "The Scum of the Earth." Their semifinal round in the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship #1 Contender's Tournament is next week.

In backstage footage from during the break, Gallus is celebrating Wolfgang's victory when Jordan Devlin tells them to keep it down, as he is getting a massage. Gallus dismiss Jordan Devlin, but as Joe Coffey leaves, Devlin says he should work on Joe's ego like his neck is being worked on by the masseuse. Coffey fakes out Devlin, causing Devlin to inadvertently back the back of his neck into his dressing room door, then leaves.
Ashton Smith, Oliver Carter and Saxon Huxley beat Symbiosis (Eddie Dennis, Primate, T-Bone) in a six-man tag team match.
In backstage footage from earlier this week, Stevie Turner says that in four matches, she got an opportunity against Meiko Satomura and the NXT UK Women's Championship, and that in her los, Satomura gave her the blueprints for her defeat. Suddenly, Emilia McKenzie shows up and says it is very interesting how Stevie Turner can badmouth Satomura when she defeated her, and that she will defeat her too.
We hear from Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley), who say that they are experiencing deja vu with Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang), but this time, they are the tag team champions. Howley says Gallus can embarrass them all they want, but Gallus does not scare them, because they beat them once and they can do it again. Stoker says that this time, it is "Gallus Boys Not Quite On Top."
