Roddy said Cole shouldn’t have waited for 1o days to explain his actions. He believed Cole’s actions were going to bring some repercussions, saying even he won’t be able to save Cole from Kyle O’Reilly.

Before Strong could continue further, Finn Balor’s music hit. The NXT Champion jumped Cole from behind and kept throwing some stiff blows at him.

Roderick Strong stopped Balor, and the two began a brawl that fizzled to the outside of the ring. Balor got the upper hand on Strong but fell to a vicious Superkick from Adam Cole.

The end of the Undisputed Era?

While Cole took out Balor on the outside, Strong retreated in the ring. Just as Adam Cole re-entered the ring, Roddy clotheslined him. The two then shared a very stressful moment. The confusion and agony on Strong’s face were very evident while Cole kept apologizing.
