The first edition of NXT on the USA network needed to have a huge moment on it. So, we saw the main event featuring Roderick Strong against Velveteen Dream for the North American Championship. It was a typically excellent match under the NXT banner, with the Messiah of the Backbreaker coming out on top. And thus, the Undisputed Era's prophecy had been fulfilled.

NXT's resident evil stable was now draped in gold. Dream put up a really good fight and cast some serious doubts in everybody's minds, but it was Strong's day. The Undisputed Era member enjoyed a steady rise up the Singles ranks and organically earned the secondary championship at Full Sail.
All four members of the Undisputed Era are still going strong (no pun intended) with their respective titles. Strong has had a good run so far after winning a couple of triple threat matches during his time as champion, including one against AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series.
