Speaking with ESPN, Adam Cole considered his upcoming spot vying for the vacant NXT Championship at TakeOver: New York.
“If I had to pick one word to describe how I’m feeling, it’s ready. I made my debut at TakeOver Brooklyn. I joined forces with Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish, we formed the greatest faction in NXT history — the Undisputed Era — and I held the NXT championship above my head. And pretty much since then, I have not been in the forefront of the NXT championship picture.”
Despite the setbacks, Cole feels he’s been ready for the belt since arriving in the promotion. “Finally getting that opportunity on the biggest stage in NXT history, it’s going to be special.” Fans have followed both Cole and his opponent Johnny Gargano throughout the indie scene. Even if this match isn’t the original story that was being told on TV, Cole is confident in the result. “For us to get the chance on literally the biggest TakeOver that we’ve ever had, I can promise you won’t be disappointed.”
Despite getting his singles opportunity, Cole isn’t worried about the stability of his NXT stable. “Any form of the group can be thrown into a situation where we have to succeed and we are just as strong as individuals as we are as a group, which to me just makes a group even stronger.”
