NXT Champion Adam Cole vs. Tommaso Ciampa headlined Sunday’s WWE NXT TakeOver: Portland event from the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon on the WWE Network.
As seen at this event, Cole successfully retained the championship. This marked Ciampa’s first shot at the gold since relinquishing the title last year due to him needing neck surgery.
The finish saw Johnny Gargano run down to the ring to even the odds against The Undisputed Era. When Ciampa went for the NXT Title, he was hit in the head with it by Gargano.
