Adam Cole Wins NXT Championship At TakeOver XXV
Undisputed Era are draped in gold, bay-bee.
NXT celebrated its quarter-century of TakeOver specials in Connecticut last night, and the celebrations concluded with a glittering ceremony to crown a brand new champion of the brand.
Adam Cole finally made good on his promise to bring home the gold for the Undisputed Era when, following his failure in New York this April, he was able to defeat Johnny Gargano once and for all in TakeOver XXV's show-closer.
Just as it was two months ago, the match was another instant classic, ending when Cole - having had his call for backup fall on deaf ears - was forced to slug it out alone, countering Gargano into a Last Shot to snatch victory.
After the match, Cole and his Undisputed Era buddies flocked the ring to celebrate.
Elsewhere on the show, The Street Profits prevailed in a six-man ladder match to earn the NXT Tag Team Championship for the first time. They, and everybody else, withstood the intrusion of a returning Jaxson Ryker.
Velveteen Dream retained his North American Championship against a Tyler Breeze making an NXT comeback, whilst Shayna Baszler once more saw off the challenge of Io Shirai - but not without a little interference from the outside.
