• Triple H Trying To Save NXT Champion Adam Cole From Vince McMahon

As seen at NXT TakeOver: XXV, Adam Cole defeated Johnny Gargano in the main event of the show to capture the NXT Championship.

According to Slice Wrestling, Triple H is trying to save Cole from Vince McMahon as Vince has asked for Cole to be brought up to the WWE main roster multiple times, but HHH has managed to keep him in NXT as HHH is already concerned with how some of the recent NXT call-ups are being treated on the main roster.

Triple H wants the Undisputed Era to stay as a stable in NXT and only be brought up to the WWE main roster when the time is right.
