Prior to her Triple Threat Match against NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Ley Lee and Piper Niven at NXT UK: Blackpool II, Toni Storm came before the WWE Universe to explain her absence after losing the title at TakeOver: Cardiff, to apology to Niven for letting her animosity for Ray drive a wedge between them and, most importantly, to ask Piper to step aside from the match at Blackpool so she could face the titleholder one-on-one.

When Piper refused, however, the standoff turned volatile, and KLR emerged to laugh about the conflict between her two imminent opponents.
