WWE teases split in The Undisputed Era
This week's episode of WWE NXT was quite interesting as it saw a title change hands whereas another title being relinquished. However, one of the biggest highlights of the show was WWE's decision to tease a possible split in The Undisputed Era.
During the show, Kyle O'Reilly from The Undisputed Era locked horns with Drake Maverick in a Single's Match. The member of WWE's infamous faction went on to win the match via submission. However, what happened next was even more interesting.
Following the match, UE members Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong tried to convince O'Reilly to subject Maverick to a brutal beatdown. The latter look hesitant, which was quite uncharacteristic of him in the context. He finally gave in and attacked Maverick following which, Killian Dane ran out to save Maverick from the wrath of UE.
That being said, it's been reported that WWE hinted at an 'underlying story' which will eventually see Kyle O'Reilly split from the Undisputed Era and possibly head towards a Single's run as a babyface. This, of course, is a speculation at this point but WWE did manage to spark a conversation with the subtle spots booked for tonight's show.
