Adam Cole vs. Pat McAfee set for NXT TakeOver XXX

Last night on #wwenxt I was forced to kick Adam Cole’s head off of his body.. I didn’t want to do it obviously, I actually wanted to be friends with the guy, which I thought we were to be completely honest, i thought we cleared it all up yesterday in a very professional cordial conversation… then when something went sideways and he ASSAULTED me with a water bottle.. I quickly realized at that moment that he was no longer friend but now… BIG TIME FOE.. We got into it, I knock him out, I get physically kicked out of the building by @tripleh and everybody else in there (not hospitable at all BTW) and then I wake up this morning to @tripleh and @espngreeny chatting about Adam Cole would like to officially challenge me to an ACTUAL MATCH at TakeOver in.. 🗣2 WEEKS.. I’m currently on every vitamin in the region… 🗣 2 WEEKS.. Adam Cole’s been a Wrestler for 12 years and has accomplished everything in the business…. 🗣 2 WEEKS.. Everybody in that building wanted me dead and out of there and now I’m being asked to walk back in there and fight their best guy, their “King” in… 🗣 2 WEEKS…. Well.. Tim and Sally McAfee didn’t raise a punkass bitch. Somehow, someway Adam Cole will eat another boot on August 22nd.. I officially accept. Predictions in the comments please.. Let’s get to work 🗣🗣⚡️⚡️⚡️

As well as McAfee stepping into the squared circle for the first time, we could now be seeing a face turn for Adam Cole and The Undisputed Era, which was reportedly something WWE wanted to do before moving the group to Raw or SmackDown.

Let me make this crystal clear for everyone, especially you @PatMcAfeeShow…Hunter is the one who can make this match happen, but I will be the one kicking your ass at #TakeOverXXX…if you’re as bad as you think you are, accept. I dare you.
