When Should The Undisputed Era Be Called Up?

Published

With a lack of call ups lately, is it time to see Undisputed Era on the Main Roster? Let’s see what Scott McLeod thinks.

It’s almost become a tradition in WWE to see some NXT stars be called up to the main roster. Oddly enough, there weren’t any post SummerSlam, and only a few Lars Sullivan vignettes post Survivor Series.

It’s good that they’re not just calling people up just for the sake of it but eventually everyone has to go up. Undisputed Era have been a big part of NXT for a while now but I think they will come up soon.

Undisputed Era have been made to feel like a big deal since they arrived. They had the big beat down angle at the end of Takeover Brooklyn 3. They were the catalyst for the first WarGames. They’ve been involved in the tag title scene for much of their run. They were the main talking point of Takeover New Orleans with Cole being crowned the first North American champion and the inclusion of Roderick Strong.

They have been the major threat that all the faces have had to band together to stop.

They got a big bit of comeuppance at WarGames 2 so I don’t think they will be around in NXT for much longer. Cole is unlikely to regain the North American title so once Strong and O’Reilly lose the tag titles Era will be on the main roster. It’s wired to think of NXT without them at this point but what more can they do there.

You know Triple H will be pushing heavily for these guys when they get there. Cole especially will be challenging for the WWE or Universal title within a year. I can see them showing up on RAW taking over the Shield’s role as the dominant faction coming out at random and using the numbers to their advantage.

I think the best possible estimate for when they will arrive is post WrestleMania 35. I think Era will lose the tag titles around this time which will free them to be called up. Who they will lose them to is hard to say.

War Raiders since Brooklyn have been the obvious candidates to take the titles. With Hanson getting injured during WarGames those plans seem to have went out the window. Judging by this week’s NXT it feels like they’re setting up Heavy Machinery as the next challengers. Could we see an upset win for them at Takeover Phoenix?

Other than Heavy Machinery the only faces tag teams are Lorcan and Burch and the Street Profits. Burch and Lorcan can be ruled out as they’ve had their shot. Having either Street Profits or Heavy Machinery would be a good moment as these guys who have been around for a long time finally have their moment. Feels like this is said to far to often and is proven wrong but I think Undisputed Era are the guys to break the curse of NXT call ups. This is a team that can only be booked one of two ways: going all in or not at all. This is not a team to just float around the mid card.

With any luck within a few years Undisputed Era will be talked about as one of the greatest factions of all time.

WWE WrestleMania 34 Charlotte Flair Asuka

Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!

We look back at Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 34. ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ put her unprecedented and historic undefeated streak of 914 days on the line against ‘The Queen’s’ SmackDown Women’s Championship.

For years, this was considered a dream match while Asuka dominated the roster in NXT, while Flair won numerous championships on the main roster on both Raw and SmackDown. The Empress made her long-awaited debut on the September 11th episode of Raw and began to tear through the competition.

Asuka outlasted all twenty-nine other women in the historic first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge for the title of her choosing. At Fastlane, she made her choice.

The WWE Universe was so excited for this match myself included. Both superstars delivered a fantastic performance on the Grandest Stage of Them All executing counter after counter. Asuka showed off some nasty-looking kicks to her opponent, and Flair hit a thunderous Spanish Fly off the top rope. Flair was seconds away from defeat at the hands of The Empress but she locked in Figure Eight and Asuka was forced to tap out.

I can’t even begin to explain how shocked I was at this outcome, as nearly everyone expected The Empress to continue her undefeated streak and walk away with the women’s title. This controversial decision was the downfall of Asuka’s momentum. She would ultimately win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the 2018 TLC pay-per-view in the triple-threat ladder match.

Fast forward to this year when Asuka has recently returned with her Japanese-inspired persona Kana. Kana is dangerous and ruthless and is heading into a championship with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. The Empress has regained all her momentum and is highly favored to walk away with the Raw Women’s Championship. Let’s hope that Asuka and Belair can tear the house down and deliver an A+ grade match both women are fully capable of.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.

Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.

Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.

I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.
