NXT UK women's champion Toni Storm makes her way to the ring to address the WWE Universe. Storm says that for the longest time she thought that Kay Lee Ray was one of her best friends. Storm continues, "But with the way things are going...Kay Lee Ray what happened to you? You used to be the first person to help someone...now you're the first person to attack someone to get my attention." Storm concludes by saying she's sick of these mind games. That brings out Ray. Ray reminds the crowd that she has a title opportunity, and walks to the ring as if she's going to cash-in now. Ray then stalls, telling Storm that she's going to make Storm wait, and announces that their match will take place at UK Takeover Cardiff. "I'm going to make your life a living hell until then."

Sid Scala says that just because Ray and Storm won't have their title match until August, that doesn't mean they won't see each other in the ring. He announces the first ever NXT UK six-woman tag match between Kay Lee Ray, Jinny, and Jazzy Gabert against Toni Storm, Xia Brookside, and Piper Niven for next week.
