Adam Cole was out next, going over the highlights of The Undisputed Era. Three years of domination in NXT, the Undisputed Prophecy, they've done it all. Cole said that backstage, once upon a time, if anyone crossed UE, they knew that they would pay.
The NXT locker room, however, seems to have forgotten what The Undisputed Era used to be. So it's time to instill that fear in the locker room once again. Who did Adam Cole have in mind? Austin Theory.
