* WhamEpisode: ''Takeover: New Orleans'' was a double wham episode for the Era. First, Adam Cole wins the ladder match for the new North American championship. Then, he subs in as Kyle O'Reilly's partner in the finals of the Dusty Cup tag team tournament. He and O'Reilly win... because their opponent, Roderick Strong, turns on his partner Pete Dunne and joins the Undisputed Era.

* OnceASeason: The Undisputed Era are 4-4 in War Games participation. In said match, expect each member to do the following:
** Kyle O'Reilly will be HoistByHisOwnPetard, clocking himself with a chair in some way.
** Adam Cole will make a meme-worthy FreakOut face.
** Bobby Fish will [[IKnowMaddenKombat football-tackle a member of the opposing team]], frequently but not exclusively through a table.

** Wasn't in the mood for the Era's usual antics during a promo to announce their choice of competitor to face Pete Dunne for the War Games Advantage. Kyle interrupted Adam to say he "needs" to face Pete Dunne to get some payback for Dunne's surprise chair-shot of the week prior.

* BadassInANiceSuit: They broke out the formal wear for a ''War Games IV'' promo (likely a Wrestling/TheFourHorsemen ShoutOut), and tend to wear suits annually for the NXT Year-End Awards.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: ''Takeover Brooklyn III''. First, Fish and O'Reilly beat down Sanity *and* AOP, holding up the tag team titles. Then, at the end of the show, when Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre has just won the NXT championship, they show up again . . . to distract Drew from Cole's run-in and beating. This established their gang warfare tactics, strong personal connection, and quest for "all the gold".

According to Adam Cole, Bobby's been told more than once to watch his mouth during NXT matches (which have mics built into the canvas and ring) and it got so bad during War Games 2019 that the production team yelled at him too.

The various friendships have evolved into a true brotherhood, each of them insistent that they're not just friends, they're brothers.

* IGaveMyWord: Josiah Williams debuted the Wrestle and Flow series with his Undisputed Era theme remix. Said remix includes the line: "I am Roddy with the flow. I am Bobby when I'm bold. I'm O'Reilly with the gold. Every title Imma hold." This would go on to become a plot point with the Undisputed Era promising to fulfill a prophecy where they would collectively hold all the male-based titles on NXT. After Josiah was brought into WWE, his first live entrance performance was rapping Adam Cole to the ring for the ''Takeover XXV1'' main event NXT Championship match against Johnny Gargano, including the line referencing the prophecy. Adam Cole would win the match, capture the title, and kick the chase for the prophecy into high gear; shortly thereafter, Fish and O'Reilly would recapture the NXT Tag Team titles and Strong would become North American Champion, completing exactly what they (and Josiah) said they were going to do.

** They continue to feud with the War Raiders early in 2019, which ended with the Modern Day Vikings snatching the TagTeam titles from Strong and O'Reilly. After the Raiders left NXT, they then feuded with the Street Profits (Fish and O'Reilly), Velveteen Dream (Strong), #DIY (Cole), Wrestling/KeithLee, Wrestling/MattRiddle and Dominik Dijakovic. While they never fought them in a tag team match, the Era also feuded with the OC prior to ''Survivor Series'' which is rather ironic considering Adam Cole was also a member of the Wrestling/BulletClub.
