The third match of the night on the main card of WWE NXT TakeOver: XXX featured the grudge match between Pat McAfee and Adam Cole. During the pre-show, William Regal said that there would be no back up for both men at ringside so McAfee’s NFL friends and the members of The Undisputed Era had to leave the area.
McAfee cut a promo from the backstage area as he walked towards the ring. McAfee said this would end quickly via a kick to the head.
Several minutes into the match, there was a brawl between TUE members and the NFL players at ringside and McAfee did a dive off the top rope on all of them. McAfee clearly worked hard because he looked fine for someone having his first match.
At one point, both men were on the top rope and McAfee shoved off and did a moonsault and landed on his feet. Then he leaped up to the top rope to deliver a nice looking superplex into a near fall. McAfee then tried to punt Cole at ringside but Cole moved and McAfee hurt his foot on the steel steps.
Cole ended up winning the match with the Panama Sunrise. This was actually a good match and McAfee looked good.
