In-Ring: Undisputed Era

NXT Champion Adam Cole makes his way to the ring with Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish. Strong and Fish look on edge after being taken by Dexter Lumis on Sunday.

Cole says the era of Adam Cole as NXT Champion will continue. No one in their right mind thought the Velveteen Dream would beat him for the title. That’s not a knock on him. On Sunday, he proved he’s one of the very best NXT has to offer. The problem is he isn’t Adam Cole, bay-bay. Nobody is Adam Cole. Now that he beat Velveteen Dream, he can’t challenge for the NXT Championship as long as the title is around his waist. That begs the question: what’s next for Adam Cole and the NXT Championship? It doesn’t matter. He has run roughshod over this brand as the most dominant champion in this brand’s history. Nobody has held the NXT Title the way he has. Nobody in NXT or WWE will be able to beat him for this championship.

Now that Dream is in the rearview mirror, he wants to shift focus to Dexter Lumis. Lumis is crazy, psychotic, and a freak that always gets in their business. Cole doesn’t know if he’s obsessed with him or the title, but what he did to Roddy and Bobby at TakeOver: In Your House was despicable. Fish says that creep is obsessed with them and put them in a trunk. Strong says he hates being stuffed in trunks. Fish says Lumis is scared of them. Strong freaks out when he thinks he sees Lumis in the crowd. Cole tells him to calm down. Cole calls out Lumis. Lumis is shown in the crowd, freaking Strong out again. When they turn to look, Lumis is gone. Cole says he has his best friends’ backs. Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong are the greatest men he’s ever known. Cole says he’s not 100%, but that’s a day in the life of the greatest NXT Champion of all time. Later tonight, he’ll fight Lumis and beat him. Not only will be beat him, he’ll send him back to the drawing board where he belongs. That’s undisputed.

As they walk off, Lumis is shown again. Strong sees him and scurries away.

Backstage: Undisputed Era, Keith Lee

Cole shouts, “In your dreams, big man!” Lee says, “Soon enough.”
