#1 Adam Cole still has his gold but his friends do not
Are we sensing a theme here? While the matches at TakeOver were great for the most part (Shirai vs. LeRae stole the show in my opinion), there was a looming declaration over the entire show. It loomed over TakeOver 25 as well, but when things ended this weekend, Cole was the lone member of The Undisputed Era to be a Champion.

At this event, every single member of the group had a chance to win gold. I've constantly stated that the promise Cole made at the beginning of the year needed resolution, otherwise he would look like a liar.

There is still time for his prediction to come true, but this was the perfect night to pull the trigger.
The Profits needed closure and the NXT North American title picture needed a different direction instead of Dream wins, rinse and repeat. By not pulling the trigger on all members winning their matches, it just means that things are in a strange position.
They either all needed to lose or all win gold. Instead, only Cole is a Champ. If they all lost out, then it would have made sense if they were going to debut on the first SmackDown of FOX.
If they all won titles, then it would have made sense so that they could run rampant. Neither of those outcomes came to pass, so I'm left shaking my head.
