The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) vs. Imperium (WALTER, Alexander Wolfe, Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner) has been announced for WWE Worlds Collide. The show is taking place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on Saturday, January 25 and will air live on the WWE Network.
The match announcement was made on tonight’s taped Christmas Day edition of NXT.
NXT vs. NXT UK is the theme of Worlds Collide. This is the first match announced for the show.
