After weeks of anticipation, the time has come for Adam Cole to make his debut. No more vignettes, no more hype, the former three-time ROH World Champion is in the building and primed to finally arrive in the WWE world. William Regal strides to the ring to introduce Cole, but for reasons unknown the man is nowhere to be seen. Regal tries twice, he tries three times, but still no Cole. The NXT GM eventually heads to the back to investigate.

Things get worse for the General Manager, as he is soon found unconscious backstage. Nobody knows who attacked Regal, but once again the fingers point in the direction of SAnitY. McIntyre, Fish, and O'Reilly and first on the scene, where Drew vows to end this once and for all.

SAnitY head out to the ring for tag team action, but the match never begins. Drew and reDRagon are out before SAnitY's entrance ends, chasing the faction through the crowd and out of the arena. The three stand tall in the ring, as Drew addresses the NXT Universe. The champion vows to end the backstage attacks, as chaos cannot reign in his kingdom.

At this point, Adam Cole finally makes his NXT debut. 'Adam Cole, BayBay' screams out in Full Sail, and the man himself stands at the top of the ramp in a sharp suit. Cole introduces himself to Full Sail, before revealing the truth about the attacks. Cole tells Drew that SAnitY wasn't guilty of the attacks - it was Cole. Cole goes on to state that he couldn't do it alone however, that he needed a little help from some old friends.

Fish and O'Reilly immediately attack McIntyre, before Cole comes down to the ring to join in the attack. The new faction leave McIntyre lying in the ring, before informing the NXT Universe that they are in charge now. Adam Cole vs. Drew McIntyre is the main event for TakeOver: Houston, and NXT has a new top star.
