5 things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week - New faction forms; Hall of Famer returns

#3 Adam Cole must promise to end Kyle O’Reilly on WWE NXT

After Karrion Kross sent a warning to the entire WWE NXT roster a couple of weeks ago, it looked like it would take some time for someone to step up to The Herald of Doomsday.

However, it did not take long as NXT’s new poster boy Kyle O’Reilly immediately expressed his desire to fight the new NXT Champion. KOR defeated Cameron Grimes later in the night to once again prove that he is more than ready to reach the top of NXT.

While O’Reilly has his sights set on the NXT title again, the superstar should worry about Adam Cole’s return this week. Cole broke up WWE’s top faction a couple of months ago and paid the price at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

This week, Cole will be part of an interview with Arash Markazi. The Panama City Playboy will likely talk about his future in WWE and whether he will continue in NXT or move to another brand.

Hear from @AdamColePro for the first since a brutal #NXTTakeover: Stand & Deliver. Cole sits down with sports journalist @ArashMarkazi this Tuesday on #WWENXT at 8/7 C on @USA_Network. https://t.co/a7CP2ZXF39 pic.twitter.com/g9GTqP0vHq

However, Cole must continue to show his displeasure at KOR’s rise and claim that he will only rest after putting an end to his former best friend. The angle will allow WWE to prolong the rivalry between Cole and O’Reilly.

It will also give Kross a chance to breathe at the top of the NXT brand before coming across a tough challenger.
