We go to Germany to see Ilja Dragunov training for his match against Jordan Devlin. He says his intensity is not his real strength. His life was always hard. His path was always difficult. I never wanted it another way. I cannot truly lose. What is most important to him is not something someone can take away from me, it is my family.

Ilja says he has been together with his wife for eight years and they have gone through a lot. She was the first person to accept him and love him for who he is. With his unbalanced character and his high emotionality she told him he was perfect how he was. Then they had Konstantin and they wanted to make sure that he knew he was special and perfect. He may fall down when he plays, but I ask him why do we fall. He replies just to get back up again. Ilja says that describes his family and himself. That is what he carries every day.

Jordan, you think his family is a weakness. You don’t feel what I feel. I don’t don’t need to rent a nice car or a penthouse or to pay people to cheer me. I am real and I am a real champion.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look at A-Kid earning a title match against Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup Championship.

Sha says he wants him to win in the Fourth Round because the odds are 11 to 1.

Die Familie are in the back and Rohan Raja says week in and week out we have shown their potential to the world. Now that we are at full strength, we are coming after tag team gold. Teoman says it takes more to win tag team gold. It takes a family bond that they have. The eye sees everything and what the eye sees is Die Familia winning tag team gold.

We have a video package for WALTER. Andy mentions that next week will be WALTER’s last stand in NXT UK. He asked for one more match and WALTER will face Nathan Frazer.

WALTER says since he joined NXT UK in January 2019, he dominated this place. He preached that the mat is sacred. His 870 title reign brought that glory and dignity to that sport. It is his last match in NXT UK for now. He will face Nathan Frazer. I have heard great things about you. You are the future of this brand. I am not impressed with any of that. You are in this for yourself and you have taken the piss out of this sport. You will learn one thing.
