Jordan Myles Interrupted Adam Cole
Undisputed Era kicked off the show to a great reaction from the crowd. NXT Champion Adam Cole boasted about defeating Johnny Gargano at TakeOver: Toronto and retaining his title.
The crowd broke out in an “Adam Cole” as he stated that people are saying that he had the performance of a lifetime. Cole claimed that he is the greatest champion that has ever lived and added that NXT’s Mount Rushmore would simply have his face four times.
Roderick Strong claimed that the rest of the Undisputed Era got screwed at TakeOver. Strong pointed out that Dream pinned Dunne to retain the North American Championship and his title reign is on borrowed time.
Kyle O’Reilly grabbed a microphone and rolled footage of Bobby Fish tagging in at TakeOver. O’Reilly got pinned at the end of the match despite not being the legal man. Bobby Fish demanded that NXT GM William Regal get out here and do his job.
Cole told O’Reilly and Fish that they are the greatest tag team in NXT history. He then told Roderick Strong that the NXT North American Championship has his name on it.
NXT Breakout Tournament winner Jordan Myles interrupted with the contract in his hand. Cole laughed in his face and asked if he was joking about challenging him for the NXT Championship. Adam Cole stated that Myles would be wasting his championship opportunity by challenging him.
Cole vowed to make Myles’ career an undisputed failure if he chooses to face him. Jordan made it seem like he was going to hand Cole the contract and then dropped it at his feet. Myles then laughed and made his way backstage.
It was announced that Jordan Myles will battle Adam Cole for the NXT Championship in two weeks. Undisputed Era will face the Street Profits for the NXT Tag Team Championships next week.
