The Undisputed Era — holders of all the men’s NXT gold — will headline a solid collection of talent.

That faction ended successfully the first live NXT show on USA Network, a one-hour broadcast from Full Sail Live on Sept. 18 at Full Sail University in Winter Park., near Orlando.

After Roderick Strong defeated Velveteen Dream for the NXT North American title, destiny reached by the Undisputed Era as they proudly posed together with the coveted collection of NXT gold, before a boisterous crowd.

Four friends who have known each other quite a while, they look to maintain their dominance.

Now for the breakdown.

Adam Cole Bay Bay is your undisputed NXT champion.

In a video interview I conducted with Cole at the WWE Performance Center, he discusses the Undisputed Era, a historic moment, NXT, USA Network, fans, Shayna Baszler and more.

Roderick Strong is the new undisputed NXT North American champion.

In a video interview I conducted with Strong at the WWE Performance Center, he discusses winning the North American title, history, Undisputed Era, NXT, USA Network, Marina Shafir and more.

Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish are your undisputed NXT tag team champions.

In a video interview I conducted with the NXT tag champs at the WWE Performance Center, they discuss NXT on USA Network, Undisputed Era, fans and more, of course.

Led by the gold-wearing Undisputed Era, NXT will arrive in Coral Gables on Friday for a house show (no TV) at The Fieldhouse at the Watsco Center at the University of Miami.
