Unsanctioned Match at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver - Kyle O'Reilly vs Adam Cole
Trending
The end of NXT's most dominant faction. The end of a friendship. The end of an era. It all led to this.
Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole ran right into one another, but O'Reilly got the best of his former brother, sending Cole to the floor.
A dive set Kyle up for an armbar, but Adam stood on his feet and booted O'Reilly in the face.
The Panama City Playboy bounced O'Reilly off the barricade, but the multi-time NXT Tag Team Champion responded with a series of high kicks to the chest.
They moved back into the ring, and Cole was caught in a guillotine. The former NXT Champion pushed O'Reilly up to the top rope and shoved him to the floor, where Kyle landed on his neck.
Cole followed that up with a steel chair, driving it into O'Reilly's injured neck. A neckbreaker to the chair, which had an Undisputed Era logo on it, left O'Reilly grasping his neck and head. An ushigoroshi earned the NXT Triple Crown Champion a close call.
Kyle made it to his feet and battered Cole with a nasty striking combination. A backdrop through a sitting chair left Cole open for a heel hook.
Adam rolled to the floor, trying to sit up in a chair. O'Reilly took that opportunity to hit a flying dropkick off the apron. Kyle kicked a chair into the head of Cole before rolling to the floor for a steel chain.
O'Reilly slid them into the ring but was dropped with a hangman's neckbreaker right onto that pile of steel. It wasn't enough to put him away, though, and O'Reilly wrapped the chain around his leg.
The short kicks to Cole's head seriously dazed the Panama City Playboy, but the former NXT Champion responded with a Figure-Four Leglock.
A backstabber with the chain still wasn't enough to end Kyle O'Reilly's night. Cole set up two chairs and dumped O'Reilly into one for a shining wizard.
O'Reilly again managed to kick out. Cole went to drive his former UE brother into the steel steps, only for O'Reilly to land on his feet for a guillotine.
Cole went limp, and a knee to the jaw dropped him. O'Reilly set up near the steps but couldn't pull the trigger.
That hesitation wasn't enough to save Cole, who was rocked with a running boot. A suplex onto the table, that didn't give, sent Adam over the barricade. As O'Reilly chased him, he was cracked with a TV monitor. Kyle was dumped, limp, into the ring while Cole emptied out a toolbox.
O'Reilly suffered a Pele Kick but rebounded with a clothesline and a brainbuster, gaining another near fall. With the chain wrapped around the arm, O'Reilly hoped to get a submission win with an armbar.

The NXT official was back up at this point, ready to put an end to the match. O'Reilly fell to the floor, and Cole dropped him on the steps with a brainbuster. As if by instinct alone, O'Reilly's shoulder got up at two-and-a-half.
The Last Shot was set up, but Kyle fell forward, unable to hold himself up. Kyle ducked the second attempt and snapped Cole in the heel hook.
In a desperate move, Cole found the chain and wrapped it around his fist, knocking O'Reilly out.
It was time for another Panama Sunrise. The NXT Triple Crown Champion went for it all, but O'Reilly countered. A fireman's carry neckbreaker and penalty kick rocked Cole, as did a surprising Last Shot. However, it wasn't enough.
O'Reilly wrapped a chair around Cole's ankle and moved to the top. We've seen this on NXT many times. Cole thought the same, as he quickly escaped and hit O'Reilly with a chair.
O'Reilly went low and wrapped the chain around his leg. Cole was draped over a chair, and the flying knee connected, putting the former NXT Champion away for good.
