Kyle O’Reilly and Adam Cole’s rivalry will come to a head at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.
After multiple attempts of the two trying to get to one another over the past several weeks, NXT on-screen GM William Regal sat both former Undisputed ERA members down for a contract signing so that they can compete on night two of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver in an Unsanctioned match.

Both Cole and O’Reilly signed the contract and it’s now official for the show. Cole turned on O’Reilly after O’Reilly unsuccessfully challenged for the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Vengeance Day. He then went to low blow Roderick Strong a few weeks later.
