This match will be the main event of the show, with Freshly Squeezed retaining the title. Trent Seven was a big name on the UK and European wrestling circuits before he debuted for WWE in January 2017 for the inaugural UK Championship Tournament.

He went on to sign with the company and became a mainstay on NXT UK. Trent Seven was featured on NXT as well, as part of Moustache Mountain alongside tag team partner Tyler Bate. They were one-time NXT UK Tag Team Champions and one-time NXT Tag Team Champions.
