How will NXT Champion Adam Cole respond after being laid out by Finn Balor at the conclusion of last week&#8217;s show? The only way to find out is by tuning into NXT which will air live from Full Sail University on the USA Network as Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuiness, and Beth Phoenix will have the call.
