Adam Cole and Pat McAfee to meet face-to-face ahead of TakeOver XXX showdown

Adam Cole and Pat McAfee will come face to face on NXT in what figures to be a combustible confrontation just days before their showdown at NXT TakeOver XXX.

Cole and the rest of The Undisputed ERA flexed their muscle a week after McAfee blasted the longest-reigning NXT Champion in history with a punt. After laying waste to Drake Maverick and Killian Dain during their match against one another, Cole dared McAfee to confront him, and the former All-Pro punter didn’t back down.

The last meeting between these men led to one of the most chaotic scenes in the history of the black-and-gold brand. What will go down this time before McAfee steps in the ring for the first time against The Panama City Playboy?
