Vic asks if Rhea or Toni can be the person who the fans are talking about after the show. Nigel says that they can be. Vic asks for a prediction from Nigel and he thinks Toni might be able to eke it out.
Vic and Nigel talk about the NXT UK Tag Title Match and we have a video package.
Vic asks if Tyler can make history again and win the Tag Titles with Trent Seven. Nigel says he thinks he can but they will face a challenge from Zack Gibson and James Drake. Nigel says that when Zack Gibson makes his mind up, he will be able to do anything. Vic asks if James Drake is the wild card tonight. Nigel says that this is a big opportunity for Drake and Drake is a willing disciple to Gibson.
We take a look at the No Disqualification Match between Eddie Dennis and Dave Mastiff.
Vic asks if Nigel would want to face either man in a No Disqualification Match and he says he would not. He talks about what they will do in this building. Nigel says that ten years ago, when Eddie Dennis had his first match, Dave Mastiff would not talk to him and Eddie has not forgotten.
Vic mentions the opening of the WWE UK Performance Center.
We see Triple H, Charlotte Flair, Finn Balor, and Matt Bloom at the event.
Radzi is in the back and he shows what happened when Travis Banks arrived at the arena.
Travis was attacked by Jordan Devlin. Attempts to separate Banks and Devlin did not work and we see Banks injuring his knee during the attack.
Radzi mentions that Travis Banks is medically cleared to wrestle so the match is still on.
Vic asks Nigel about what is it like to be in the ring with an injury. Nigel says injuries put you against the wall, but it can be the best test of a champion. Nigel suggests trying to get the match over as quickly as possible.
Vic asks Nigel who will gain the most tonight. Nigel says Joe Coffey has the opportunity to leave Blackpool with everyone talking about him.
We take a look at the NXT UK Men's Championship Match with a video package.
Nigel says that stylistically, Joe Coffey could be the biggest threat to the title. Vic asks if we will see a bitter end to Pete Dunne's title reign. Nigel says he would put his money on Joe Coffey if he was a betting man.
