5 Ideal opponents for Austin Theory in NXT

The Real Superstar has already crossed paths with the likes of former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano

#1 Adam Cole

Every new NXT Superstar must, at some point, come face to face with the Undisputed Era

If anyone's looking to make a name for themselves in NXT, there are few better targets than the men of Undisputed Era. Led by NXT Champion Adam Cole, the fearsome foursome has completely dominated the brand since their formation back in 2017, with all four members holding gold throughout their tenure in the company.

This wouldn't be the first time Theory has dealt with the members of the Undisputed Era either. In fact, he's actually already faced Adam Cole back in May, losing to the Panama City Playboy in a non-title match. However, this only came about after Theory called out the group a month prior, hoping to join them and oust Kyle O'Reilly.

Theory not only retained his championship against O'Reilly, but also managed to beat Roderick Strong in a triple threat for the belt when he initially won it against fellow NXT star Fabian Aichner. With wins like that under his belt, he's proven that he can hang with the Era.

When he does make the jump to NXT, I wouldn't be shocked to see him join the group. However, Theory isn't one to share the spotlight, and may look to take over the group, possibly even kicking Cole out.
