Then we go to AJ Styles who about the main event .... MVP tried to screw AJ out of his rematch, but now he has Scurll inside the cage and he is going to take back his title .... The camera then cuts to the arenas and settles on the steel structure hanging above the ring ....
*** We go to ringside as new announcer Vic Joseph joins Pat McAfee to kick off the show from the booth .... They talk about how in Progress UK, we settles things in the ring .... The emphasis is more on the competition and the combatants fighting spirit than the characters .... ***We start out the live action as Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 plays as Ringkampf makes their way out led by WALTER .... WALTER cuts a promo and says that they respect this business and it is up to them to save Progress UK .... WALTER says it is up to the 3 of them to restore honor to the UK title because Cesaro couldn’t get the job done .... they will restore the professionalism of their sport because, to them, the mat is sacred .... from now on they will be known as Imperium.

White takes the mic and calls out Buddy Murphy for his involvement on the last show .... White sends Kross to the back and tells Murphy it’s just the 3 of them, no Bullet Club ....
