Adam Cole made his return to NXT television during this week’s episode of NXT on USA.
During the show, a Triple Threat Match between Kyle O’Reilly, Pete Dunne, and Johnny Gargano was interrupted when Adam Cole interfered, causing a no-contest. The winner of that match was supposed to determine a number one contender for Karrion Kross’ NXT Championship at In Your House later this month.
