Cole vs. O’Reilly ‘Undisputed Finale’ set for NXT TakeOver 36


WWE has set a date and given the stipulations for Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly III.
In what’s being billed as the “Undisputed Finale,” Cole and O’Reilly will face off at NXT TakeOver 36 on Sunday, August 22. It will be a two-out-of-three falls match, with Cole and O’Reilly each picking one of the stipulations.
The first fall will be a traditional wrestling match, the second fall will be a street fight, and, if necessary, the third fall will be a steel cage match.
The match and stipulations were announced during a face-to-face segment with Cole and O’Reilly on tonight’s NXT. O’Reilly chose the first fall, then Cole chose the second. The third fall was chosen by NXT general manager William Regal.
Cole and O’Reilly have a 1-1 record against each other since the breakup of Undisputed Era. At TakeOver: Stand & Deliver this April, O’Reilly defeated Cole in an unsanctioned match. Cole then defeated O’Reilly at NXT Great American Bash last month.
Here’s the updated card for TakeOver 36:
- NXT Champion Karrion Kross defends against Samoa Joe
- NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez defends against Dakota Kai
- NXT United Kingdom Champion WALTER defends against Ilja Dragunov
- The Undisputed Finale: Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly (two-out-of-three falls match)
- Million Dollar Champion LA Knight defends against Cameron Grimes (if Grimes loses, Ted DiBiase has to become Knight’s butler)
