Pat McAfee says Adam Cole was NXT champion for long because of the Undisputed Era

On the Pat McAfee show, Adam Cole felt insulted that the former felt that he was champion for a historic 403 days only because of The Undisputed Era. Here is Adam Cole’s response.

“Of all people to say that to me that I surround myself with super talented people and that’s the only reason that I’m successful? You’re a psycho.”

McAfee went on to clarify that its not “the only reason” but rather, “the main reason”. Adam Cole then went on to take a shot at McAfee being a punter to which the latter replied.

“I was the player of the decade at my position,” McAfee said. “Although I was surrounded by good people, it was just me and a ball.”

To which an angry Adam Cole replied.

“And Pat guess what?. I was the longest reigning NXT Champion of all time. And guess who did that all by themselves? Oh, that’s right, me. Did it all by myself.”

“Nope, don’t believe that, we watched the Takeovers, Adam,” McAfee replied. “The Undisputed Era is the main reason why you’ve succeeded. By the way, smart, that’s business baby, especially for you cause you’re kind of small.”

After that comment was made, Cole broke a microphone and said,

“F*** you Pat, seriously I’m sick of your sh**. I come all the way here take time away from my family to come and do your stupid f***ing show and you’re going to continue to disrespect me? F*** you Pat, F*** you.”

There are rumors flying around that the Undisputed Era didn’t want to go to the main roster. If this is true, it will be interesting to see what’s ahead for Adam Cole after losing and Keith Lee giving new challengers a chance. For now, Adam Cole’s return is highly awaited.
