How successful will the rest of 2019's NXT callups be?

Adam Cole and The Undisputed Era

BAY BAY!

Having now lost all of the gold they once carried, and continuing to lose during the NXT TV tapings, it looks like the Undisputed Era are also on their way out of Full Sail. They've done almost everything they could on the yellow brand, and it doesn't feel like them holding all the gold would be anything different compared to what they've already done.

The Raw after WrestleMania looks like as good a time as any for there to be a shock to another system.

Adam Cole is a difficult one to predict. He has almost everything it takes to succeed - a good look, excellent promo work, charisma in spades, and a great ring worker. There's only one thing he lacks, and unfortunately, it's an important thing for main roster success - size.

Even by today's standards, Adam Cole is on the smaller side. He's above the Cruiserweight class, but some 205 Live stars, like Buddy Murphy, have a better build than he does. Mustafa Ali's recent success may give us some optimism, but there's still no telling how far he'll go or how long his push will last.

Verdict: Cole is a wild card. He'll either be a constant Intercontinental/United States title contender with some forays into the main event when needed, or he can easily find himself in the role Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have occupied for some time - big talking heels that get put into foolish situations and lose.

As for the rest of the Undisputed Era, they're easily one of the best tag teams in the company, and would be an immediate asset to any division they're a part of. Raw's dilapidated division could especially use their services. Depending on how well Cole does, they could go far as a faction, or they could just fall into an abyss. With WWE messing up teams like the Authors of Pain, no one in the tag division is safe or predictable.
