I loved Adam Cole in NXT and ROH but I think in AEW/WWE the lights might just be too bright for him. The only high-quality singles matches he's had since leaving NXT have been two against Hangman and neither one of those were like 5-star level matches by any means. And it hasn't been for lack of other quality opponents as he's faced Jungle Boy (who is capable of good matches like last night showed), Dax, Orange Cassidy, Jay Lethal, Ishii, Christian, Trent, Samoa Joe, and Daniel Garcia. He even managed to have merely an above average match in a three-way with Jay White and Okada.
