To begin the interview, O’Reilly explained to Byron Saxton what their message is.
O’Reilly: “Our message is that there is nothing anyone can do to swim against this current. As far as I’m concerned, every other tag team of NXT is treading in deep water and getting tired, and we are the sharks that have begun to circle.”
Debuting this past summer at NXT ‘TakeOver: Brooklyn III,’ The Undisputed Era made a huge impact, capturing the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship after only five months on the roster.
Fish: “When you produce at the level of Kyle and I, winning is to be expected. After we won the NXT Tag Team Championship, we toasted ourselves on a job well done. After that, we went back to work. We are most at home in the fight or in the process, so it was back to the gym, back to training and back to studying. Sorry to disappoint, but skipping around like a couple of goofs who finally reached the mountaintop was not in the cards.”
Before coming to WWE, O’Reilly & Fish worked as ReDRagon over the independent circuit- capturing a number of Championships and becoming one of the most popular tag teams not employed by WWE.
Fish: “We’ve been the standard in tag team wrestling since November 2012. Our preparation is about precision, timing, sharpening our in-ring ability to its finest edge possible, its science. From there, we game-plan; each team is a new puzzle for sorting, calculating each move, complete with bad intent. Matches are won before the bell rings. First, we let you know the when, where, why and how — the verbal. Then comes the mental, the inevitability of what’s about to happen to you. And finally, the physical, when we put you out of your misery.”
They believe they have achieved this due to their chemistry.
O’Reilly: “Our team chemistry is something unlike anything else on this planet. Bobby knows what I’m planning to do before I do sometimes. I think that we have such a relentless, unorthodox style, and we have designed a new system of attacking and defending that is very difficult to figure out and prepare for.”
The team continues by explaining what their future is in the company. They add that it is now their era.
Fish: “When you delivered at the level Kyle, Cole and I are accustomed to, there are no surprises. It’s a simple ‘if A, then B’ system. The process is in the work. Our work is never left unfinished; it’s always looked after, and, therefore, success follows us like a lost dog searching for a home. Come one, come all. The variety of challenge ensures the entertainment of those who follow our history. Watch as time and time again we prove there is no team walking this planet who can operate on our level. We are NXT, and this is our era!”
