Adam Cole says Undisputed Era is at 100%, and that should be a warning to everyone. Just ask the War Raiders. People will fear NXT, because the Undisputed Era is NXT. Cole goes on to address Ricochet. He says Ricochet has his property, and Ricochet didn&#8217;t beat Cole in the triple threat match a few weeks ago. Cole is then interrupted by EC3&#8217;s music.<\/p>\n<p>EC3 comes out to the stage. He says Cole does not deserve a rematch for the North American Title. Cole wonders if EC3 is making a smart move by challenging the Undisputed Era right now. EC3 doesn&#8217;t care about that. Cole tells EC3 to shut up. He challenges EC3 to a match right now, and EC3 accepts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Adam Cole<\/strong> w\/ Kyle O&#8217;Reilly, Roderick Strong (NXT Tag Champs), Bobby Fish <strong>vs EC3<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Darryl Sharma)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751ff504ca','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751ff504ca\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751ff504ca\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: EC3 wins via pinfall with a schoolboy<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 6:53<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. It was fairly even, with both men getting some good offense. The Undisputed Era didn&#8217;t really make their presence known until near the end of the match, and it didn&#8217;t really help Cole much. I think EC3 needed a strong showing, and though the finish was far from definitive, EC3 did look strong.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, the entire Undisputed Era attacks EC3 at ringside. They drag EC# up to the stage where Cole hits him with a running knee strike to the back of the head. Bobby Fish then grabs a chair and hits EC3 in the knee with it. The Undisputed Era leaves as EC3 is attended to.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMia Yim is bringing a whole new style to NXT.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Outside the Venue<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nNikki Cross laughs as she warns security that &#8220;he&#8217;s coming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Aliyah vs Mia Yim<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: DA Brewer)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751ff50664','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751ff50664\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751ff50664\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Mia Yim wins via pinfall after Seoul Food<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 3:40<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Somewhat surprisingly, Aliyah dominated most of this match. Yim seemed to get off to a good start, but Aliyah quickly took control. Aliyah mostly kept Yim down on the mat, so when Yim managed to get to her feet she started to take over. Once Yim got on a roll, she made quick of Aliyah. I liked that this wasn&#8217;t just a squash. Aliyah looked pretty good, and it no way hurt Yim&#8217;s NXT debut.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nBianca Belair yells at William Regal because she wants a title shot.

He doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The Undisputed Era approaches, and they aren&#8217;t happy. Adam Cole thinks it&#8217;s ridiculous that Regal allows EC3 to do whatever he wants. Cole tells Regal to get his act together. Regal disapproves of what Bobby Fish did last week, so he puts Fish and Cole in a match with the War Raiders set for next week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips from this week&#8217;s RAW when Roman Reigns revealed that he has leukemia and has to step down as champ.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA package promo for Lacey Evans.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTommaso Ciampa paces.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThis Sunday, Kairi Sane will defend her title against Shayna Baszler at Evolution.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Justin Xavier vs Kassius Ohno<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Tom Castor)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751ff506bf','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751ff506bf\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751ff506bf\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kassius Ohno wins via pinfall after a discus elbow smash<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 3:05<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nMostly a squash, though Xavier got a move or two in.

Tommaso Ciampa heads to the ring before Regal can name anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Ciampa tells Regal to wipe that smug look off his face. He just wants Regal to say what he has to say, but Velveteen Dream interrupts as he comes out and heads towards the ring. Dream says the people want an experience at War Games, and Dream wants Regal to say his name. Lars Sullivan comes out next. Sullivan says everyone is standing in his territory, and the NXT Championship belongs to him. Dream would like for Sullivan to put on some pants if he wishes to address the Dream. Sullivan grabs Dream.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki Cross then appears at ringside. She yells &#8220;he&#8217;s coming&#8221; as we see Alesiter Black attacking the security guards outside the venue. Black heads to the ring and kicks Sullivan in the face. Everyone else flees as Black demands for Regal to tell him where &#8220;he&#8221; is. Johnny Gargano appears and superkicks Black. Gargano says he&#8217;s right here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis episode seemed like a lot of setup, but I still enjoyed it pretty well. I did really like how NXT has been mixing things (and people) up a lot lately. In particular, I like how Nikki Cross has been providing a kind of thread to tie everyone together. She even tied the final few segments together tonight, adding chaos, intrigue, and continuity to the reveal of who attacked Black.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if I like the actual reveal of who did it though. It might grow on me, but right now it feels a little like they just went with &#8220;shock&#8221; over anything else. I mean, it does make sense given Gargano&#8217;s state of mind at the time the attack occurred, but going forward I feel I might be disappointed by some things. I really wanted Johnny Wrestling back. So I guess that means they got me, but it still feels a little cheap right now.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Adam Cole vs EC3<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was good, but it was also the most competitive match in a night that was pretty light as far as the wrestling goes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results:?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwenxt\/2018-10-24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwenxt\/2018-10-24<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aleister Black&#8217;s attacker is revealed on a show that also featured Mia Yim&#8217;s NXT debut against Aliyah, Kassius Ohno hitting some guy really hard, and the Undisputed Era having some trouble with EC3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[255,297,622],"tags":[648,1162,751,1882,718,883,1660,1146,942,1478,671,775,2252,1759,1150,1149,719,1257,1480,2083,2173,638,1095,567,1130,801,1429,1133,747,1761,1357,1365,76,1477,7],"class_list":["post-4159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nxt","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-adam-cole","tag-aleister-black","tag-aliyah","tag-bianca-belair","tag-bobby-fish","tag-cathy-kelley","tag-da-brewer","tag-darryl-sharma","tag-ec3","tag-florida","tag-full-sail-university","tag-johnny-gargano","tag-justin-xavier","tag-kairi-sane","tag-kassius-ohno","tag-kayla-braxton","tag-kyle-oreilly","tag-lacey-evans","tag-lars-sullivan","tag-matt-riddle","tag-mia-yim","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-nikki-cross","tag-nxt","tag-percy-watson","tag-roderick-strong","tag-shayna-baszler","tag-tom-castor","tag-tommaso-ciampa","tag-undisputed-era","tag-velveteen-dream","tag-vic-joseph","tag-william-regal","tag-winter-park-fl","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4159"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4161,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4159\/revisions\/4161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
