The Undisputed Era makes their way to the ring and bringing up the rear is the new NXT Men’s Champion Adam Cole.

Cole starts off by saying told you so. He said that in 2019, the Undisputed Era would be draped in gold. Adam says this is the start of fulfilling that prophecy. They do not start at the bottom and hope that all of their hard work pays off. They attack the guy at the top. They do and take whatever they want. If you decide to get in their way, you will regret it. Adam says starting with this, we are going to remake the NXT Universe into an Undisputed Image. Adam says he thinks this is how the show should start every week, and we see a video with just the Undisputed Era.

Kyle says not to brag, but it was something he threw together last night. Adam says that is what he was talking about. That is why they run this place. They have all the power. Undisputed power. This is a message to the NXT North American Champion and the NXT Tag Team Champions. He wants them to be shined up nice and pretty for Roddy, Bobby, and Kyle. They will have all the gold in 2019. They will have all the power and they won’t stop until they get it. Nobody will be able to touch them. No one in the locker room. Not Mr. Regal. Not even HHH. They will have every piece of power in the company.

WWE NXT North American Champion Velveteen Dream interrupts and makes his way to the stage.

Dream asks Adam if no one can touch him, but he would like to touch Adam. Dream says it is adorable that you think the Undisputed Era is why NXT has risen to new heights. It is due to one factor . . . dream over. You look good with the gold, but Dream looks better. That NXT Championship would look amazing paired with his North American Championship.

Strong says you holding the NXT Championship . . . dream on. In fact, you don’t deserve to be the North American champion. You don’t deserve to be in the presence of the Undisputed Era.

We get a BRO and Matt Riddle comes out.

Matt asks Strong how hard did he hit him at Takeover? He beat Strong and he has beaten the champ too . . . bay bay.

Cole tells Riddle that you stand there and continue to run your mouth about something you know nothing about.

Matt says he is insanely good looking and he is a stallion.

Cole calls Riddle a moron and he says that Riddle is jealous because Cole has held every championship in NXT. You are jealous because Roddy has been a champion and you are not. You are jealous because you have dropped the ball every time you had a title match. You can go back to writing about wrestlers from the Attitude Era. That era is over. The fact is your era will never ever come because you and everybody else is living in the Undisputed Era.

Tyler Breeze interrupts and makes his way to the stage to join Dream and Riddle.

Tyler says he was in the back listening to all of this while talking to Mr. Regal. He says he doesn’t care about what is undisputed or who is better looking, because it is him. What he does care about is you guys trying to take credit for a brand that he built before any of you idiots were even here. So, Mr. Regal took his suggestion and it will be the three of them against any three of you, tonight in the main event.

Adam wants a time out and he asks what kind of an idiot is Johnny. Adam reminds Johnny he won the first fall.

Johnny says you keep reminding him about that, but do you understand how math works? You didn’t shock the school system. Math is hard. Johnny says he will explain it for Adam very slowly. In a two out of three falls match, you need to win TWO falls. You only won ONE fall. Johnny says he won TWO falls. That makes him the NXT Champion. Do you understand?

Adam tells Johnny to shut up. He says you can be as condescending as you want, but it eats you alive that he pinned Johnny by himself in New York. In two weeks, Adam Cole is going to do it again. As far as tonight is concerned, they are celebrating. . .

Had it been a singles match at NXT TakeOver: New York, Adam Cole would be the NXT Champion. But with the way the stars aligned over Barclays Center that night, it was Johnny Gargano who seized two falls to win the coveted crown in their 2-out-of-3 Falls classic. At NXT TakeOver: XXV, the two lionhearted Superstars have an opportunity to either correct or solidify history when they return to the squared circle with NXT’s top prize on the line.

The Undisputed ERA leader has often cited his pinfall over Gargano in the first 15 minutes of their bout as the reason he deserves a rematch against the champion. “I pinned him first,” he recently told WWE.com in an exclusive interview. “I did it by myself and in about 15 minutes.” Acknowledging that the title around his waist puts him squarely in The Undisputed ERA’s crosshairs, Gargano convinced NXT General Manager William Regal to approve a championship match between him and Cole at TakeOver: XXV.

For the NXT Champion, this battle will be all about protecting his reign. For Cole, as told to WWE.com, it’s about proving why he was “born to be the NXT Champion.” It will be “go big or go home” when these bitter adversaries battle it out in this much-anticipated rematch.

Will it be “wins and championships” once again for Gargano, or will Cole see his golden prophecy realized? Find out at NXT TakeOver: XXV, streaming live Saturday, June 1, on the award-winning WWE Network!
