He also tells him to rest up, as he will be taking his place in tonight's matchup, and hints that Imperium could be interested in recruiting him.

Footage from earlier in the day shows an encounter between Ashton Smith and the former NXT UK tag team champion Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson). The Veterans interrupted a Smith interview, berating him for having a horrid win/loss record. Smith argues that they have lost their last two title matches, and have been anything but locker room leaders, something that the Veterans have been stating in every promo. Smith walks off ending the segment.

Mike Bird is out for the third bout of the evening. He gets a huge ovation. His opponent...Jack Starz...has been attacked by Gallus's Mark Coffey and Wolfgang. They drag him out and cut a promo on Bird, who trained with Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews. Gallus then attacks Bird, stomping him down until the tag champs run in to make the save. The third Gallus member, Joe Coffey, attacks Webster on the outside while Wolfgang and Mark Coffey get the better of Andrews. Gallus stands tall over the champions and Bird.
