Fatal-5-Way Match: Adam Cole vs Ricochet vs The Velveteen Dream vs Matt Riddle vs Aleister Black

"All these guys" chants broke out at the beginning of the match. Dream and Riddle went outside while Black and Ricochet targeted Cole. Dream sent Riddle into the guardrail and joined the rest inside. Cole and Ricochet moved out while Dream rolled up Black. Black kicked out.

Black took Dream down with a stomp from the corner. Dream avoided a dive and a leg sweep, setting up for the DVD. Black rolled him up but the North American Champion kicked out. A boot from the Dutch Destroyer leveled him, but before Black could follow up, he was pulled out by Cole.

Ricochet went at Dream, turning him inside out with a headscissors and a dropkick. Riddle rushed the ring and went after the One and Only former champion, dropping him with three gutwrench suplexes. Cole came in and connected with an enziguri to the King of Bros. Playing to the crowd proved troublesome, as Black and Ricochet took him out.

Now in the ring by themselves, the tag team partners stared each other down. They shook hands then circled the ring. Cole interrupted, sending Ricochet into Black. The former NXT Champion tumbled out while Cole dropped Ricochet with a neckbreaker. Dream went to break it up but Cole knocked him off the apron. A snap suplex nearly gave Cole the win, but Ricochet kicked out.

Cole brought Ricochet down on his neck with a belly-to-back driver, but he kicked out again. Dream came in again, stunning Cole. Cole sent him into the ropes and he slid to the outside, catching Cole across the jaw with a right. A double ax handle rocked Cole. He rolled inside and was nearly met by the Purple Rainmaker, but Riddle caught him with a German Suplex.

Black came in to put an end to Riddle, but he locked in the Bromission on him. Ricochet broke it up.

Black and Dream were again the only ones left in the ring and Black leveled Dream with a kick. Cole came in and Black took both men down with a springboard moonsault. Cole rolled to the outside while Black set up for the Black Mass. The Undisputed Era's leader pulled him out, though, and slung him into the steel steps. Back inside, Cole met Riddle.

Riddle threw chops while Cole threw elbows, and stomping on Riddle's bare feet nearly set up a superkick. Riddle countered and locked in the Bromission. The Velveteen Dream broke it up.

Riddle, Dream, and Cole, all on their knees, traded stiff shots. They fought to their feet and Dream was the last one standing with a superkick to Cole who had stunned Riddle with a knee. Ricochet caught Dream with a handspring enziguri and was rocked with a superkick from Cole.

Riddle dropped Cole with a jumping knee, and Black and Riddle traded high kicks to their jaws, leaving all five men staring up at the lights. Ricochet was the first to his feet and went up top for the 630. Cole met him, followed by Dream, then Black, and finally Riddle. A tower of doom launched Ricochet across the ring and left the rest of the competitors struggling to get a breath.

Everyone rolled outside except for Black and Dream, the latter of whom was pelted with strong strikes, following up with a meteora and a German Suplex with a bridge. Riddle broke it up with the Broton Splash. A fisherman driver nearly gave him the win, but Cole broke it up and superkicked Riddle, following up with a suplex shoulderbreaker. Ricochet stopped his pinning attempt and traded heavy kicks with him before sending the former champion outside with a reverse hurricanrana.

Ricochet then dove onto Cole with a tiger drop to the outside, leaving Dream and Riddle back inside. Riddle attempted a powerbomb, but Dream looked to counter into his DDT. Riddle countered that with a high knee followed by the Bromission. Cole pulled the ref out before he tapped out.

Black dropped Riddle with the Black Mass, and Dream planted him in the middle of the ring with the DVD. As he went to the top, Ricochet sent him onto Black and Cole with a super hurricanrana. A Shooting Star Press to Riddle nearly gave him the win, but the Last Shot from Cole stopped him and gave the Undisputed Era their biggest win of 2019.

Results: Adam Cole defeated Ricochet, Matt Riddle, Aleister Black, and The Velveteen Dream via pinfall.

Adam Cole will face Johnny Gargano for the NXT Championship in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match at NXT TakeOver: New York.
