Details On Why Cole/Fish/O’Reilly Alliance Formed

As shown on NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, Adam Cole made his debut and attacked newly-crowned NXT Champion Drew McIntyre. Initially, McIntyre was distracted by Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly, who reformed as a tag team after having previous singles matches on NXT weekly episodes.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the alliance between the three formed due to McIntyre, who is the babyface, being considerably taller than Cole. As a result, the three formed a group to strengthen the heel dynamic for the feud.
