Cole laid out O'Reilly with a pump kick to the face and a brainbuster on the steel steps. O'Reilly was taking out of the Capitol Wrestling Center on a stretcher after NXT went off the air.

The day after the attack, O'Reilly posted the following update on social media.
Thanks everyone for checking in, your love and support truly means the World. I was placed on a stretcher last night out of concern for my neck after receiving a brainbuster on the steps. Thankfully I can move around somewhat OK today but I may need some time to heal. 1/2

As much as that hurt and sucked last night, the betrayal was worse. Coming back from this stronger and with a thirst for revenge. Best served cold. 2/2
