No cold open. Straight into the NXT UK song intro (Dusted by Astroid Boys).

Tom Phillips and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to another edition of NXT UK from Brentwood, England. Imperium makes there way to the ring led by NXT UK champion WALTER to a loud ovation from the crowd. Marcel Barthel begins on the microphone, stating that they are the most dominant force of this brand. "The most impressive, and most honorable champion in NXT UK history wishes to address his kingdom." WALTER takes the mic: "There is no man and there is no group that can compete with the might of Imperium. We are here to show you that this mat is sacred to us.

Gallus interrupts. Joe Coffey and the NXT UK tag champs (Wolfgang and Mark Coffey) laugh at the notion that Imperium is the most important faction in the company. He insults Imperium by telling them to ditch the cheap track suits before thanking them for getting rid of British-Strong Style. Mark Coffey calls WALTER "Jolly-Wolly," which prompts the fans to chant. "Just remember this...NXT UK is our kingdom. You four here...you're just living it." Wolfgang ends the segment with the line of the night: "You're either Gallus...or against us."
