Three stalwarts from the black and gold brand fought for the right to challenge Carrion Cross for the NXT title at NXT TakeOver: In Your House, but Adam Cole abruptly ended the ultra-competitive fight. Cole first smashed Kyle O’Reilly with a steel chair, then also kicked out Pete Dunn and detonated Johnny Gargano with the Final Shot, causing an angry William Regal to appear to reprimand Cole, albeit by the time the NXT General was already damaged.
