Cut to WALTER who is working out at the Performance Center (this is from earlier in the week). He shouts at some recruits for joking around and not respecting the mat. He leads them into the ring and lets them spar while he watches from the corner. WALTER steps in and chops one recruit before pushing another out of the ring. He looks right at the camera. "That's why I'm going to be the champ forever. None of you has a future." This ends the segment.

Preview for Hell in a Cell featuring the Fiend versus Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. An announcement that NXT UK is now moving to Thursdays.

Tyler Bate makes his way to the ring. Huge ovation from the crowd. He grabs a microphone and calls his matchup against WALTER at Takeover Cardiff one of the toughest and hardest nights of his career. "Inside...I felt like I let you guys down." Crowd chants "No." Bate then claims that he is far from finished with NXT U.K. This brings out Jordan Devlin. Devlin tells Bate that he impressed him with his Takeover performance, but berates Bate for not getting the job done. He says that General Manager Johnny Saint should have put him in the main event, and that he has what it takes to beat WALTER. "You and I both know that if I were in the main event...I'd be standing here as the UK champion. You may be strong...but I'm a man, and you're just a boy," growls Devlin. Bate responds: "Imagine how funny it's going to be when this boy comes down there and puts you on your ass." Bate walks to meat Devlin at the entrance path, but the Irish Ace retreats. Bate poses for the crowd ending the segment.

Flashback to Takeover, where Tegan Nox was sitting in the front row. A vignette highlighting Nox's career is played, which includes her performances in the Mae Young Classic tournament. Nox was forced to exit the tournament due to a knee injury. She refers to that as one of the worst moments in her life, but that she used it as a motivator to train harder and come back stronger. "It's my time to shine. I'm about to show the NXT UK universe exactly who I am." Commentary tells us that Nox will be facing women's champion Kay Lee Ray on next week's show.
