4. The Prophecy Fulfilled

Perhaps by design in order to keep fans of the group thirsty for more, this week's show didn't donate an awful lot of time to The Undisputed Era, save for the their involvement late in the Roderick Strong/Velveteen Dream clash and one brief money shot of all the boys with all the belts.

The gang - and Adam Cole in particular - are so awesome at talking the talk that some celebratory promo time next week seems assured, and could well steal the second USA show to boot.

As rewarding for those that have awaited Cole's "prophecy" to come true all year as those tuning in for the very first time, this moment set the table brilliantly for several new programmes as the dominant heels look to defend their kingdom.
