Matt Riddle, Tyler Breeze & Velveteen Dream Interrupted Undisputed Era
NXT Champion Adam Cole and Undisputed Era kicked off this week’s show. Cole said that he told everyone that in 2019, Undisputed Era is going to be draped in gold and the NXT Championship is the start of fulfilling that prophecy.
Cole claimed that the show should start every week with just a video package of Undisputed Era highlights. Kyle O’Reilly joked that he put together that video package last night and the crowd chanted “thank you Kyle!”.
Adam stated that they are coming for NXT North American Championship and the Tag Team Championships and their power will become undeniable. NXT North American Champion Velveteen Dream interrupted and said “Adam, no one can touch you? I’d like to touch you”.
Dream said Cole looks good with the gold but the Dream looks better. Roderick Strong said that Velveteen Dream doesn’t deserve to be the North American Champion. Matt Riddle joined the party and boasted about defeating Strong at TakeOver and beating Cole in the past.
Riddle said that he is insanely good looking and stallion. The crowd chanted “bro!” as Cole told Matt to shut up. Cole called Riddle a moron and claimed that Riddle was jealous because they have been champions and Matt has failed in every championship opportunity.
Cole suggested that Riddle should go back to writing online reviews for wrestlers from the Attitude Era. Adam added that era is over and Riddle’s era will never come because everyone is living in Undisputed’s era.
Tyler Breeze came down to the entrance ramp and said that he was just in the back talking to NXT GM William Regal. Breeze told Riddle that he was better looking than him and the crowd chanted “Breeze is gorgeous!”. Breeze pointed out that he built up NXT before any of the idiots in Undisputed Era were even here. Tyler announced that Regal took his suggestion and it will be Breeze, Dream, and Riddle versus any three members from Undisputed Era in tonight’s main event.
Damian Priest Picked Up A Win
Damian Priest (formerly Punishment Martinez) made his debut tonight against Raul Mendoza. Raul dominated early and Dropkicked Priest out of the ring. Mendoza went for a Suicide Dive but Damian caught him and slammed him on the apron. Priest then connected with a spin kick and then a rolling Cutter for the pinfall victory.
Remember his name. And while you're at it… write it in the stars.
