Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to another edition of NXT U.K. from Glasgow. Lights in the arena go out...and the champ appears along with Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner. Crowd boos as they enter the ring for a promo. Barthel gets on the mic first. "We are here to lead you to a better NXT UK. We are here to raise our flag, and restore the honor and the professionalism of our sport. We are the ones to lead, and we are the ones who hold true power." Aichner is next. He says that Pete Dunne only moved this division so far, and that British-Strong Style has expired. "Now the responsibility lays in our hands." WALTER pipes in. "From this day forth, we shall be known as Imperium."

Pete Dunne has heard enough and comes out. Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) is with him! They head to the ring for a showdown...brawl ensues!
