Welcome to NXT UK! The show kicks off with the Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin making his way down to the ring.

The Irish Ace begins his monologue by explaining why he created this Open Challenge for the title. He wants to prove week by week that he's the greatest Cruiserweight of this division. He's still looking for challengers to prove him wrong. All of a sudden, he gets interrupted by Trent Seven. Trent says in just a few words that he's going to trim down and challenge Devlin for the title. Devlin doesn't brush his challenge off. In fact, he puts his hand out for a shake. Trent grabs his hand and clocks him on the side of his face. Devlin slides out of the ring, forgetting his title. Trent's foot is on it. They lock eyes again before Devlin makes his way up to the ramp.
