How can you not love the Undisputed Era? These guys are awesome!

[@nightknight445]

JDOUBLE “b-b-but they’re vanilla m-midgets man! They’re..indie darlings man! They look like WWE 2K Create-a-wrestler man! They d-d-don’t make my dick hard like Roman and Charlotte man!”

[@chrisweaver7132]

Maybe cas Adam Cole went from the greatest stable ever the bullet club to this.

[@chrisweaver7132]

Still I like it tho

[@JDOUBLE]

Damn wasn't expecting these replies. Lol

[@bigearl33]

Adam Cole, isn't he dead ??

[@raymondjperez2391]

Bobby Fish is underrated, change my mind.

[@Alex-nv9bo]

Bobby Fish is INCREDIBLY underrated. Change my mind.

[@Jason-ig1mh]

Bobby Fish had a match on NXT with Aleister a while back. It’s one of the most unique matches I have ever seen and I’ve been watching for 30+ years. Lots of good kickboxing technique.

[@BlackMoore82]

Indeed Bobby's been a solid worker for years, first saw him during his time in Pro Wrestling NOAH seven years ago. Great on the mic too!

[@kyledamron]

@@Jason-ig1mh wasnt that his debut even pre undisputed era? I remember that match it was so good and unique

[@Jason-ig1mh]

kyle damron Indeed! Pre Adam Cole (baybay).

[@yahibachi6270]

I still believe that Bobby Fish is one of the most underrated guys in the business. He can work like a guy 10 years his younger and can work a mic like nobody’s business especially when he’s fired up and given the time.

[@dilayaydogdu2130]

I was so shocked when i learned he's 39. It's incredible, he wrestles like a 30 year old.

[@hxmt4238]

yea, fish tank was awesome

[@BrandonMobley614]

Great faction. I've watched them all for years. Adam Cole may be the star, but Kyle O'Reilly is definitely my favorite. Great technician, submission specialist, and the way he plays left-handed air guitar with his belt. Dude is a fucking workhorse.

[@vipset87]

agreed on everything u said. although coles the big star, strongs my fav. been following them for only 3-4 yrs since 2015.. kno theyve been around much longer

[@jandanielbondad5176]

Kyle O'Reilly is the national treasure of the group plus all of them are a workhorse. They're perfectly made for NXT and that is undisputed.

[@jaimeestevez2052]

Agree.

[@psujunglist]

Kyle is the pound-for-pound champion of facial expressions.

[@christiancarpenter1570]

I've been a huge O'Reilly fan since the Future Shock days of ROH

[@TheWrestlinEra]

Kyle sounds so different compared to when he does his promos

[@jaz7119]

He funny af tho

[@otsolutions5260]

I loooooove Undisputed Era. Their swag is just PERFECTLY put as, "The Cool Kids In High School." Their mic skills/the aura that's in the air when they're in the ring cutting promos, and their UE's they throw up too. Its all just, PERFECT✅

[@justaguyonyoutube1937]

Undisputed Era & The Elite my two favorite groups.

[@southphilllyguy791]

Big Facts... One day hopefully that'll happen...if not thank god for Video Games lol

[@willn8664]

[@TheKillerZmile]

Bullet club

[@Thomas-kp8mo]

There so good. Adam Cole has that superstar presence written all over him.

[@As-go6ho]

Thomas Newell all of em have it. but I get your point, he's so poised & confident and it translates to the audience, there's no doubt in my mind that he'd succeed on the main roster.

[@Thomas-kp8mo]

WAALTEEER Yes there all good but it just wether or not they get a shield push on the main roster or end up like sAnitY.

[@stevesteve0521]

I don’t know does superstars still exist? I pictured him being more in the main event show then superstars. Maybe velocity level.

[@InazumaStudios1]

Agreed and undisputed!

[@steveraider7948]

Roderick Strong = Chris Benoit as 4th member Horseman but understand why they didn't want to put that out there but has same intensity watching him wrestle.

[@d.b.2487]

The chops seem similar, at least in my opinion.

[@charlespulliejr.1987]

Perfect comparison

[@thechuggs8997]

Roderick Strong is forrrr realllll

[@johnnyblack3676]

malenko

[@otsolutions5260]

Ever since Undisputed Era, Bobby Fish, Adam Cole and Kyle O'Riley came together, they put their stamp on being the hot stable in NXT. Now when Roderick Strong made his Allegiance turn at TakeOver New Orleans on Pete Dunne to join Undisputed Era? I cannot describe to anyone how much he alone has elevated Undisputed Era. That dude joining the group and the way he mixes with the 3 of them, was just poetry in motion. Just pure wrestling and character development coming full circle making that stable the HOTTEST stable in NXT EVER 🔥

[@ivanrodriguez3477]

Something vince mcmahon cant do. With is lame ass creative team

[@claudiachilds1206]

This interview is UNDISPUTED!

[@TomClacy5871]

Hope they don’t get separated once they go to the main roster

[@southphilllyguy791]

[@AlmightyBryan]

TomClacy5871 i think HHH will probably talk to vince to keep them together. UE is gonna make vince a lot of money.

[@vipset87]

[@nicomesina]

TomClacy5871 you mean like shield

[@D0nram0nxx]

everybody has mic skills. damnit! theyre all good!

[@AnswerisB]

Adam Cole may be the leader, but Kyle O'Reilly is the crux of the group. He connects to the rest of the guys in a way no single one of them does. >Began in ROH with Adam Cole in Future Shock and eventually beat him for the ROH World Championship. Had arguably his best singles matches with him. >Peaked as a tag competitor outside of WWE with Bobby Fish in ReDRagon >Won tag gold with Roderick Strong in NXT and gelled with him in a way that may be equal to, or perhaps greater than, his bond with Bobby Fish.

[@zoejeremy9671]

HHH: Hey dad, i'd like you to meet our newest free agent signing Adam... Vince: Shawn is that you?

[@ArtsyAllAround]

*Vince sees Adam Cole backstage for the first time. Vince: great we got Stevie Richards back!

[@BTWelling]

you can tell everything these guys say is genuine. I'm really glad they're having a good time together in NXT, makes me hope WWE keeps them together well past their call up.

[@awrestlingfan5085]

Undisputed Era are awesome. Loved them all in ROH and now I'm glad they are together in NXT. Shock the System!

I was honestly surprised by the fact that Bobby was the most out going in this interview. He’s great and I’m glad he’s back to doing his thing.

[@ryanjohansson8950]

It's so awkward to see them tiptoe around Chris Benoit's name. He is clearly the closest comparison to Roderick Strong.

[@thomasmuller1425]

Which part did that happen in?!

[@AnswerisB]

He's more like Dean Malenko to me

[@JPeyo]

@@AnswerisB You're reading my mind.

[@ryanjohansson8950]

Thomas Muller when they were talking about which member of the Four Horsemen that Roderick Strong is.

[@ryanjohansson8950]

Answer_is_B Maybe but Benoit was really intense, aggressive and hard hitting just like Roddy. Strong's chops are just like Benoit's too.

[@SKULLEDBUICK]

Ahh, good. I can finally see who's voice is who's. Edit: Jesus, Kyle.

[@JIPunisherIL]

Boys and girls, this episode truly was undisputed.

[@garyblackburn3080]

God these guys are ALL SOOOO good. I mean...yes they obviously are strong together...but Adam is so right when he says that they could EACH main event as singles stars and also kill it. That being said though i hope it's still a while before they split.

[@mattfairbanks7621]

How is Adam only 29 seems like hes been around forever

[@adamcrispy]

Loved the interview but wished that they talked about Kyle O'Reilly wrestling with Type 1 Diabetes and also the match when Roderick Strong joined Undisputed Era during the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

[@MTRZ97]

Roddy did talk about himself joining for a brief moment

[@kol9495]

Kyle talked about that with Jericho

[@munnawasik8784]

Cuz they think NXT is it's own brand. Like Jonhny and Tomasso said "NXT is the main roster"

Despite what Roddy says about people not liking him, he was one of the best babyfaces in NXT during that time before he joined UE. I think he's great in both roles.

[@whysociety6386]

I thought he was boring as a face.

[@budakiarcher]

He's no Johnny Gargano but he came across as likable and down to earth which is hard to pull off because of how vanilla people view it but it worked a lot better than some of the nonsensical babyface logic from the main roster.

[@whysociety6386]

@@budakiarcher I still prefer him with The Undisputed Era, and for good reasons too. Because I know that they all like being together, and because he wouldn't stand a chance on the MR by himself.

[@budakiarcher]

Never said I would prefer him as a babyface, clearly he's placed properly in UE but that doesn't take away the solid babyface run that led up to that great heel turn to join his boys.
