Adam Cole is back, bay bay.
Pete Dunne, Kyle O'Reilly, and Johnny Gargano were battling it out to determine who would face Karrion Kross for the NXT Title at TakeOver: In Your House when Adam Cole wanted in on the action.
Cole interfered in the match, laying out the competitors with a chair and taking out the referee by slamming Dunne into him. NXT General Manager William Regal and NXT security escorted Cole away from ringside.
Cole had not been on NXT television since his sit down interview with Arash Markazi on the April 27 episode of NXT.
