off their victories at NXT Takeover: New Orleans (Adam Cole winning the North American Championship and Undisputed retaining the NXT Tag Team titles and winning the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic), the Undisputed Era came out to address the crowd in victorious fashion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Adam Cole spoke first and had somewhat of a new swagger to him, reminiscent of his ROH days, probably because he finally won a championship.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Bobby Fish then spoke, and even though he did not participate in the tournament and has been out of action, he had every right to do so as he has been instrumental in the stable\u2019s success (much to the disappointment of one fan who yelled out, \u201cyou did nothing, damn it\u201d, which was hilarious).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Throughout his NXT run, Fish has been delivering fire promos and this one did not disappoint.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Now it was Roderick Strong\u2019s turn, the person that everyone wanted to hear from.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>His promo was probably the best one as he answered the question of why he joined the stable in the first place.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>He stated that it was because he knew that Pete Dunne would eventually turn on him and all that Dunne cared about was the U.K. Championship, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and not to wait for that moment.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Also, he wanted to be apart of a winning team and why fight it, as it was easier to join.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It was a great heel promo that gave reason for his decision and definitely drew some heat.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Kyle O\u2019Reilly did a good job at wrapping it all together and told everyone that NXT is theirs to dominate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This was excellent to see because it now seems like all of the pieces are coming together for the UE to be a formidable stable, one that isn\u2019t just talking, but actually backing it all up while holding gold.<\/p>\n<p><b>Adam Cole vs. Oney Lorcan:<\/b> After their promo, Adam Cole asked the rest of the UE to go to the back and relax while he wipes the floor with Oney Lorcan, straight dismissing him as a not worthy opponent.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It was a good match as Cole was very cocky and crafty, and the crowd seemed to eat it up.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In addition, the match was very well paced as each competitor shined.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Lorcan was very good as he dealt out some vicious European uppercuts, but soon O\u2019Reilly and Strong came out to distract the referee.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>While that was going on, Cole hit Lorcan with the Shinning Wizard for the win.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The crew continued to beat down Lorcan until Danny Burch came out to try and help but the numbers game proved to be too strong to overcome.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This just added to the sentiment of the UE being an unstoppable force that cannot be reckoned with, at least for the moment.<\/p>\n<p><b>Johnny Gargano vs. Aleister Black:<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Unfortunately this match never got started as Johnny Gargano was blindsided by Tomasso Ciampa.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Even though he tried to fight back, Gargano was subdued by a low blow to where he was never able to recover.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Ciampa hit Gargano with a hard knee and put him through a table off stage.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This seemed reminiscent of when Ciampa first attacked Gargano but this time more sinister.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Gargano had to be transported to the back as he showed his fighting spirit of not wanting to stay down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As the stretcher rolled back stage and onto the truck, Ciampa was watching all the while that added to the dramatic effect of his psychotic ways.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It will be interesting to see where they go from here with this feud as we thought it was all over, but knowing NXT, they\u2019re going to take it to another level.<\/p>\n<p><b>Aleister Black vs. Eric Young (NXT Championship):<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b> As Gargano was being carted off to the hospital, Aleister Black happened to be walking by and saw what went down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>He then went to the ring to call out Tomasso Ciampa, but it was SaNITy that answered the call.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Eric Young stepped to Black and was given an impromptu championship match.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>During the match, both had great grapple locks on each other.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Young showed his in the ring skills as a savvy veteran while Black was his hard-hitting self with numerous vicious strikes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In the end, it was Black picking up the win with the Black Mass.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The rest of SaNITy tried to ambush Black but were met with Black Masses as well.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This will more than likely be the last time we see SaNITy making an appearance on the NXT stage as they have been called up to SmackDown Live, but you never know.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Another thing we don\u2019t know is what role will Black play in the feud of Gangano and Ciampa?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We see that he was upset about the attack, so will he try to avenge Gargano by facing Ciampa, we will just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<h3><b>MISSES<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Heavy Machinery vs. Tino Sabbatelli &amp; Riddick Moss:<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Honestly, how many times were we going to see these two teams face each other?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It seems like every other week for the past couple of months these two teams have battled to where this feud wasn\u2019t really going anywhere.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Its not that either team is terrible as both (more so Heavy Machinery) are entertaining, but it just seems redundant at this point.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The only interesting thing to happen in this match was the long awaited breakup between Sabbatelli and Moss to happen, which it did when Sabbatelli left his partner mid match.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The let down about this was that it took too long for this to happen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If it had happened earlier on in this feud, it might have had more of an impact. Now it is just an afterthought as Heavy Machinery did away with Moss and seemed to be onto their next feud with the War Raiders as they called them out at the end of the match.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S COLUMN:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/04\/23\/4-18-nxt-hits-misses-ricochet-vs-fabian-aichner-lars-sullivan-vs-killian-dane-zelina-vega-vs-candice-larae\/\">NXT HITS &amp; MISSES\u00a04\/18: Ricochet vs. Fabian Aichner, Lars Sullivan vs. Killian Dane, Zelina Vega vs. Candice LaRae<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1280856791\"><div id=\"pwtor-2933893310\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>HITS Undisputed Era\u2019s Promo:\u00a0 Fresh off their victories at NXT Takeover: New Orleans (Adam Cole winning the North American Championship and Undisputed retaining the NXT Tag Team titles and winning the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/04\/30\/nxt-hits-misses-4-25-undisputed-eras-promo-fresh-off-takeover-victory-cole-vs-lorcan-eric-young-vs-aleister-black-machinery-vs-moss-sabbatelli\/\" title=\"NXT HITS &#038; MISSES 4\/25: Undisputed Era&#8217;s promo fresh off Takeover victory, Cole vs. Lorcan, Eric Young vs. Aleister Black, Machinery vs. Moss &#038; Sabbatelli\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,28,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opnionandanalysis","category-specialists_hitsandmisses","category-specialists"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/YoungEricTB_3x2_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59165,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59164\/revisions\/59165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
