Neville makes his entrance saying that it seems like someone has been forgotten again. First the Cruiserweight Classic, then 205 Live and now the UK Championship . He says he should be the UK Champion by default! He says he understands why he was excluded from the tournament because they needed it to be competitive and he would have won the whole tournament. He says he is the greatest wrestler from this country and from the entire continent and no one will ever defeat him. Cue the entrance music of Tommy End as he will be facing Neville!
