11 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Nov 13)
6. Undeniably Undisputed
Ever the total f*cking cowards, The Undisputed Era tried to strike as Matt Riddle stood alone, but didn't even get the chance as his (then) WarGames comrades Tommaso Ciampa and Keith Lee emerged to even the odds.
Or not - and that was the real beauty of this. Adam Cole and co had the numbers advantage and still bottled a (nearly) fight by throwing threats from the other side of the ropes in a wonderful bit of visual storytelling.
It was all to move the show onto an impromptu clash between Lee and Roderick Strong as well as reshape the TakeOver card, but it wasn't half hot sh*t from the biggest b*stards on the black-and-gold brand yet again.
