After costing him the NXT Championship, Kyle O’Reilly attacked Adam Cole and took revenge for the ultimate betrayal. Cole tried to pull himself to his feet, only to spot Kyle O’Reilly approaching him. A stunned Cole got taken out by a somersault senton, followed by a terrifying 1916 on the floor.
Balor rolled Cole back into the ring and hit the Coup de grâce for the win. After that, he offered Cole to O’Reilly who seized the opportunity and went bonkers on Adam.
Cole went for a low blow, but O’Reilly caught it and connected with a kick to the head. He threw Cole into the plexiglass, which prompted officials to run down.
