Adam Cole explains his attack on Kyle O'Reilly last week on NXT
In the final moments of NXT, Adam Cole came out to explain his actions. At NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day and on NXT last week, The Panama City Playboy attacked both Finn Balor and his own buddy Kyle O'Reilly.
The former NXT Champion said he planned on explaining all of this, but after seeing the footage from last week he was sick to his stomach. Cole stated that he hated who he'd become in recent weeks. He was furious that Kyle O'Reilly continued to get opportunity after opportunity at the gold despite his failures.
Regardless of th, Cole was ashamed of himself. He looked into the camera, hoping to reach out to Kyle O'Reilly. He wanted this conversation to happen face-to-face, but that wasn't possible. O'Reilly knew Cole better than anyone and knew that Cole hated to admit he was wrong.
Cole apologized and vowed to fix this as best he could. At this point, Roderick Strong came out, and the Messiah of the Backbreakers demanded answers. It's Cole's fault that The Undisputed Era fell apart. Kyle would heal, and afterward Strong didn't know if he could save Cole from his wrath.
Finn Balor rushed the ring, with the NXT Champion hungry for vengeance. Conflicted, Strong decided to help out his "friend." Balor and Strong brawled to the floor, allowing Cole to catch Balor with a superkick.
Cole then apologized to Strong, begging for things to return to the way they were. Strong initially clotheslined him, but couldn't do anymore. Cole broke down in tears, and Strong apologized for hitting him. They embraced in the middle of the ring, and it looked like the healing of the Undisputed Era had finally begun.
Or not. Cole dropped Strong with a low blow before tearing off his dog tags. A superkick left the former NXT NA Champion out on the mat.
