The Undisputed Era has shocked the system in NXT, and earned the title of “the Best WWE Stable Ever.”

You can boo all you want, you can jeer, but you can’t deny what is in front of you. The fact is that the Undisputed Era has left its mark on NXT, and not just NXT, the WWE.

The Undisputed Era is one of the most dominant groups on this brand, and not just this brand. They are the best stable in WWE History, and that is not an opinion, not a bias statement, it is the cold, hard truth.

I was there at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. When Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish ran through the crowd, attacking Tag Champs SAnitY and the Authors of Pain, the audience roared in approval. They wanted a shot of adrenaline, something fresh, and they got that. They got it with reDRagon, and they sure as hell got it with the main event.

Drew McIntrye deserved the NXT title, but NXT deserved the debut of Adam Cole BayBay. They deserved the ambush by Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish, and the superkick that shocked the system from their fearless leader. This started a new Era in NXT, and we are all the better for it.

The three pushed the roster to its limits, winning tag team gold consistently, and Adam Cole became the inaugural North American champion. Within a year, this stable was setting records and elevating the competition. They brought out the best of everyone in NXT they came across.

That brings me to “The Messiah of the Backbreaker,” Roderick Strong.

Strong and the UE had their long rivalry, battling in a multitude of matches. Strong plead with the NXT crowd, telling everyone how much wrestling meant for him, for his family. The man was fighting for his livelihood. But did you care? Did you back him up and cheer him on? No, you were bored. You didn’t care because he wasn’t as charismatic as others.

You only cared when he teamed up with Pete Dunne, and when the time came, at WarGames, Roderick Strong did what was best for his family and, most importantly, himself. He didn’t betray NXT and “the Bruiserweight;” he honored his, and his family’s, well-being.

Now, he has the confidence, the so-called “missing charisma,” and his wrestling prowess is finally being highlighted like it so rightly deserves. These four horsemen of NXT showed what an elite faction should look like.

Look at their championship caliber performances: Every member has been a part of a tag team championship match, being victorious. Cole has run the gamut winning every championship. He is the second NXT Triple Crown winner, and the greatest NXT champion.

With the seemingly impossible task of pinning “Super” Johnny “Cena” Gargano, Adam Cole has defeated him twice on the big stage with the NXT Championship on the line.

The technical work, the striking ability, the in-ring psychology, Cole is showing the roster how it is done. And when he defeats Jordan Myles to retain his gold, he will elevate the Breakout Tournament winner just by being in the same ring as him, BAYBAY.

So, rejoice when you hear “SHOCK THE SYSTEM” and the guitar riffing; enjoy how each member walks down to the ring with the swagger needed to succeed in the cut-throat business of professional wrestling, sing along with the choir of NXT angels as they scream “BOOM” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY.’”

Do all this while witnessing their greatness in the ring because you’re witnessing greatness, period. We are two steps from fulfilling the undisputed prophecy, so enjoy watching history. The WWE has blessed us with the best stable in their storied history, and that, boys and girls, is Undisputed.
