Backstage: Sid Scala sits down with the NXT UK Champion WALTER and his opponent Rampage Brown before their colossal matchup next Thursday. WALTER informs Brown that he is not intimidated by him; he sees him as just another challenger who will fail to defeat him. Brown says that WALTER is full of himself. WALTER tells Brown that he does not respect him and that he'll never understand what it's like to be the champion. Both men stare each other down before the show goes to commercials.
