The months-long feud between The Undisputed Era and Sanity wrote a new chapter Wednesday night, as the two teams waged war in a Six-Man Tag Team Tornado main event.

The action was nonstop, with the two teams battling all over Center Stage.

As the fight spilled back into the arena, Killian Dain launched Bobby Fish off the ramp and onto Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly as chants of "NXT" broke out.

Dain continued to star, as the difference-maker for Sanity throughout. His Michinoku Driver on Fish drew "oohs" and "aahs" from the NXT faithful, while the opposition's attempt to take him out at different points throughout was a major element of the story.

At one point, The Undisputed Era isolated Wolfe and delivered Total Elimination, seemingly set up to pick up the victory. Young appeared, though, and unloaded on the team with a series of kendo stick shots.

Dain continued Sanity's comeback, unloading on every one of his opponents. He eventually scored the victory for his team, pinning Fish.

Analysis

If this was the conclusion of the rivalry between these two teams, it was a fitting one. With that said, one has to wonder about the booking decisions made within it.

Yes, spotlighting Dain as the monster hero was a great move. He has stolen the show in just about every match he has appeared prominently in and is destined for great things with the brand.

With that said, The Undisputed Era is supposed to be a major threat to the NXT locker room and the lead heels on the roster. Booking Cole to lose two straight to Aleister Black and then the trio to drop the match to Sanity here feels like a case of management underestimating the value of the three Superstars who comprise the group.

Cole is a star. He has been a star everywhere he has gone, and NXT is no different. So why work so hard to establish him, Fish and O'Reilly only to sacrifice them in matches like this? Could Dain not have gotten over to the same extent if he valiantly fought the trio off for as long as he could, only to succumb to the numbers game?

It feels like there were better ways to get the same sort of outcome without actually jobbing The Undisputed Era here.
