As a result of the destructive conflict between Gallus and Imperium that essentially leveled NXT UK for the better part of the fall, negotiations between the faction leaders -- United Kingdom Champion WALTER and Joe Coffey -- led to the scheduling of several contests. But the matches that were established as a result of the talks were not limited to Superstars from those factions. In order to get The Ring General to sign off on the proposed matches, Ilja Dragunov, who had sided with Gallus in the conflict, stepped up and agreed to once again face Alexander Wolfe, this time in a No Disqualification Match. 

The action started out in furious fashion when an overzealous Dragunov charged up the ramp to engage Wolfe during his entrance. This collision set the stage for a brutal showdown between Imperium’s “hatchet man” and the Crimson Menace both inside and outside the ring. The competitors incorporated Kendo sticks, steel steps, a table, steel chairs and the hardest parts of the ring. They also combined high-impact maneuvers with the dangerous implements, including Dragunov’s Coast-to-Coast off the ropes and Wolfe’s German Suplex onto a pile of chairs.

Although Wolfe drove his opponent’s throat into the chair and seemingly broke his fingers with that same device, Dragunov lifted his foe off the ground and smashed him through the table. Ilja followed up with Torpedo Moscow for the hard-fought victory.

After the bell, however, Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner stormed the ring to deliver a post-match attack on the victorious Superstar. As WALTER came out to watch the carnage on the top of the ramp, Joe Coffey suddenly surprised him with a lariat and disappeared before Imperium could get to him.
