Big Debuts At Tonight’s NXT TakeOver Brooklyn III

After an incredible NXT TakeOver Brooklyn III (and a kind of lackluster main event in comparison), we finally saw Adam Cole make his long-awaited debut in NXT. Earlier this week, the news broke that Cole had officially signed with WWE, and tonight saw him show up after the finish of the Drew McIntyre/Bobby Roode NXT Title match alongside two men that made their presence felt after the NXT Tag Team Title match: reDRagon.

Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly, who had debuted on NXT television earlier this summer, both losing to Aleister Black in their first matches in the brand, beat down both The Authors of Pain and new champions Sanity before coming out with Cole to lay waste to new NXT Champion McIntyre after the end of the main event to close the show.

We had heard rumors swirling throughout the week about a Ring Of Honor-based faction in NXT, but it was one of those laughable rumors. Now, not so much. Throw Roderick Strong into the mix, and that would be a hell of a group to lead NXT into 2018.
Truth be told, this is the shot in the arm NXT needs. They’ve been in sort of a transition period this year, and having the new blood of Cole, Fish, and O’Reilly coming in to take on the new champions should be interesting, to say the least.
