It seems like Killian Dain’s rise has been simmering for months. The Beast of Belfast has routinely left the NXT Universe in awe of his rare combination of size, strength and agility.
Amidst the epic war waged between Undisputed ERA and SAnitY over the last few months, the 6-foot-4, 300-plus pound behemoth has made it a point to grant Undisputed ERA leader Adam Cole a front-row seat to the carnage he has unleashed. Whether it was smashing a steel chair into Kyle O’Reilly’s face via a jaw-dropping Coast to Coast at TakeOver: WarGames, or a spectacular head-first dive onto both the NXT Tag Team Champions and his SAnitY cohorts in Philadelphia, Dain has inflicted plenty of damage.
Now, the Irish juggernaut gets his chance to take the spotlight from a man who has made stealing the show a daily routine. With their respective factions embroiled in a bitter rivalry, will it be Dain or Cole walking out with a statement-making victory tonight on NXT?
