The Undisputed Era are one of the most popular factions in wrestling right now.

With NXT champion Adam Cole, wrestling legend Roddy Strong and the NXT Tag Team champions Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish, Undisputed Era has the talent and charisma that WWE is smartly capitalising on.

At Worlds Collide, the four-man group met another in NXT UK’s Imperium and it was a main event to savour.

talkSPORT caught up with Undisputed Era during Royal Rumble weekend and all four men spoke about how the match came to be and the pride they took in helping raise the stock of Imperium.

Adam Cole: “With Blackpool, that was one of those moments that you remember forever. We never lose sight on stuff like this. I love surprises in wrestling, that’s one of my favourite things. So to be involved in something where everyone in that building had no idea we were there and then we showed up, then there’s that reaction like ‘oh my god, they’re here’ and they’re really excited – that’s one of the most coolest things.”

Kyle O’Reilly: “Something about the UK fans, I don’t know what it is, but they’re always just out. It’s just tremendous. It’s always been like that.”

Bobby Fish: “I think with the Blackpool thing, it’s all about creating that air of unpredictability and now its our job to carry that with us wherever we go, and I feel like that’s what we’re doing. We’re moving it forward. And it’s just the perception of, you don’t know where these guys are going to turn up. They do what they want, when they want, where they want. For me, that’s something that really adds a layer to all of us.”

Roderick Strong: “100 percent. And then, just the opportunity to have the match. Imperium has been doing great over in NXT UK, but it was kind of an opportunity to raise their stock against us and that’s special. Those kind of moments mean a lot to me. Where we can help elevate these guys as well because we’re in that position. You know, being in the position that we’re in is great, but what we can do with the ‘power’ of it is what is really freaking cool.”

Kyle O’Reilly: “We pride ourselves on making other guys.”

Bobby Fish: “And let’s face it, we’re the measuring stick!”

Alexander Wolfe of Imperium also suffered an injury during the match meaning the wrestlers had to adjust, but they did so without anyone noticing at all. The European group won the match, but Undisputed Era are so big right now that it didn’t hurt them one bit.
