Never one to shy away from a victory lap, Adam Cole kicked off NXT to celebrate retaining the NXT Title against Tommaso Ciampa at TakeOver: Portland.
As The Undisputed ERA's lone remaining champion, The Panama City Playboy also confidently professed that Roderick Strong would put an end to The Velveteen Dream later tonight — only to be interrupted by His Purple Highness himself.
Talking over the Full Sail speakers, Dream told The Messiah of The Backbreaker to leave his UE allies behind for their highly anticipated clash later tonight, while Strong assured Dream that he'd wish he'd never came back to NXT once he was finished with him.
