Matt Riddle vs Adam Cole

Riddle wrapped Cole up in a waist lock, bringing him to the ground with several mat slams. He went for the Bromission early, but the former NXT North American Champion squirmed out of it, escaping through the ropes.

Cole came back inside and countered Riddle's wrestling with a stiff back elbow. A headlock was reversed by Riddle, floating over and turning it into a reverse headlock. Back to their feet, Cole shot him off into the ropes, only to be dropped by a shoulder tackle. Riddle read Cole, predicting his movements and dropping on top of him with the Broton. Three gutwrench suplexes later, and Cole was left exhausted in the corner.

He avoided an assault by the King of Bros, taking his leg out from under him and connecting with a boot to the jaw. A figure-4-neck lock wouldn't hold Riddle down for long, as he turned it into a pinfall attempt. Cole broke out and leveled him with a clothesline. Riddle was set up in the corner and beaten down with several right hands. Cole pulled him out and brought him down with a neckbreaker.

Riddle was placed in the Dragon Sleeper, but fought out of Cole's grasp. A back elbow cut off his momentum, dropping him to the ground once again. They stood back up and traded strikes. Cole avoided a high kick, countering with his own. However, Riddle didn't go down, and brought Cole on his head with a deadlift German suplex.

Riddle's combination connected, and he followed up with a pele kick followed by several running attacks in the corner. A running Broton and a kick to the face nearly awarded Riddle the win, but Cole kicked out.

Cole tried to fight out of another deadlift German, but Riddle powered through. Cole escaped a piledriver attempt and caught Riddle coming off the ropes with a kick to the jaw. An ushigoroshi neckbreaker gave Cole a two-count. Cole looked for some more offense, but Riddle countered with a ripcord knee strike.

He attempted the Go To Sleep, but Cole turned himself upwards mid GTS for a backstabber. Riddle kicked out. Riddle and Cole fought up to a standing position. Cole stomped on Riddle's toes, but Riddle turned a superkick into the ankle lock. The Original Bro locked it in strong, then applied the Bromission. Cole escaped but was leveled with a kick to the head. Two fisherman busters hurt Cole, but another neckbreaker nearly finished Riddle off.

After the kickout, Cole was punished with several chest chops. Riddle countered the Panama's Sunrise but was taken out by the Last Shot. Riddle kicked out and struck him with a knee strike followed by a GTS and a powerbomb, finishing the sequence with another knee strike.

Roderick Strong came down at this point, trying to pick up Cole. The ref shooed away Strong while Cole caught a flipping Riddle with a superkick. Riddle broke out of the pinfall and turned it into the Bromission.

Results: Matt Riddle defeated Adam Cole via submission.

After the match, tensions rose between Cole and Strong. Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly attempted to keep the peace, with Fish holding Strong back and O'Reilly keeping Cole away. All four members of the Undisputed Era left the ring, separated and falling apart.
