End of the Undisputed Era: Adam Cole Explains His Attack on Kyle O’Reilly, Assaults Roderick Strong on WWE NXT

Adam Cole shocked the entire pro wrestling world when he did the unthinkable at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day. Cole not only attacked NXT Champion Finn Balor but also his Undisputed Era-brother, Kyle O’Reilly. If that was not enough, he again attacked O’Reilly the following week on NXT.

Finally, Cole opened up on his actions on this week’s episode.

Adam Cole explains his attack on Kyle O’Reilly

The former NXT Champion and leader of the Undisputed Era finally broke silence on his actions this week. Cole came down and straightaway mentioned how sorry he feels for doing what he did to Kyle.

Adam Cole said the NXT Championship is very important to him. In fact, Cole revealed Kyle angered him after continuously failing to capitalize on his opportunities for the NXT Championship. Just as Cole justified further, Roderick Strong interrupted him.

Roddy said Cole shouldn’t have waited for 1o days to explain his actions. He believed Cole’s actions were going to bring some repercussions, saying even he won’t be able to save Cole from Kyle O’Reilly.

Before Strong could continue further, Finn Balor’s music hit. The NXT Champion jumped Cole from behind and kept throwing some stiff blows at him.

Roderick Strong stopped Balor, and the two began a brawl that fizzled to the outside of the ring. Balor got the upper hand on Strong but fell to a vicious Superkick from Adam Cole.

The end of the Undisputed Era?

While Cole took out Balor on the outside, Strong retreated in the ring. Just as Adam Cole re-entered the ring, Roddy clotheslined him. The two then shared a very stressful moment. The confusion and agony on Strong’s face were very evident while Cole kept apologizing.

Strong finally got emotional and came down to Adam Cole. He hugged him and said, “You’re my brother.” Little did Roddy know, Adam didn’t mean the same.

Adam Cole hit Roderick Strong with a low blow, followed by a superkick. He called Strong stupid and said that he was nothing to him. To add insult to injury, Cole ripped off the Undisputed Era dog tag Roddy wore.

The show ended with Cole standing tall with Strong laying in pain. It pains to type this, but it is, without a doubt, the end of the Undisputed Era. Although, we’re in for a treat with this feud. What are your thoughts on this? Share it in the comments below!
