Cole has now joined the elusive list and the leader of The Undisputed Era certainly couldn't have asked for a better start to 2020. The reigning NXT Champion also took to Twitter in order to comment on his triumphant achievement, as he sent out the following message:
As of now, Adam Cole's Undisputed Era stablemates have their hands full, as Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly have their focus on the Dusty Classic. On the other hand, Roderick Strong will be defending his North American Title against Keith Lee on NXT TV.
