#5 Adam Cole retains clean
Adam Cole has held the NXT Championship since June 1, 2019. Since then, he has come face to face with many challenges, including from Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor, and he had to overcome them in some great matches.
In most of the cases, Cole has been able to dominate his opponents or pick up a clean victory with The Last Shot even while playing a heel. This has shown why he is regarded as one of the best NXT Champion of all time.
When Cole comes face to face with a man he has never battled in singles competition before, he will have to give it his best and more as Tommaso Ciampa has been looking to win back the title he never lost.
Cole has been NXT’s face for a long time now and has managed to defeat Daniel Bryan on SmackDown and came close to victory against Seth Rollins on RAW, proving he is not just the leader of The Undisputed Era, but the King of NXT.
Keeping that in mind, there is a chance that Cole will retain his title by winning in an uncontroversial way, extending his reign and taking Ciampa out of the NXT Championship run.
