NXT TakeOver: New Orleans- 5 Points to Note (7 April, 2018)

There was not one thing wrong about the entire night — There was not one thing wrong

#3 A massive heel turn

How could you do this to us, Roddy? — How could you do this to us, Roderick Strong?

NXT tells stories like few other promotions across the world do. The story this evening was that Adam Cole was exhausted after winning the NXT North American Championship. We were slightly disappointed to see that Cole wouldn't be replaced by a surprise participant in the match. But considering how the match played out, we changed our mind!

Newest member of the Undisputed Era. We have our Judas.#NXTTakeOver

Roderick Strong stopped Pete Dunne from making a pin and aligned himself with the Undisputed ERA. This turn has been teased for weeks now, goes back to their days in ROH, and it was absolutely masterfully executed at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.
