Cmon don’t be biased. He is a star. He is a top elite talent. His match with Daniel Bryan was excellent. His matches with Johnny Wrestling were classic. He could have great matches with AJ, Garza, Andrade, Murphy and Seth. Him vs Nakamura would be excellent and a feud with Sami and KO would work.
Bryan has great matches with everyone...why mention him? The matches don't matter anyway. A guy like Owens kills him on the mic..Joe
..etc.

It's an interesting thing to think about because there are a lot of factors that could go either way:

1. All of his boys and his girl are at AEW, he'll definitely be a focal point and top heel. But he's also already that in NXT, but there's no guarantee he'll get that treatment if he gets called up.

2. Surely AEW will give him more money than what he currently gets in NXT, but who knows what WWE might offer if/when they call him up.

3. He's HHH's AND HBK's boy, he has HBK as an agent for all of his matches. AEW will never be able to offer him working directly and under the tutelage of his idol.

4. He and the rest of UE have been spinning their wheels in NXT for a long time even before COVID shyt changed plans. They could get called up at any time and could get pushed just as hard/well or get thrown in the bushes within a month.


I think he probably stays with WWE and specifically NXT, especially if they give him a pay bump. He'll eventually end up in AEW for sure, though.

Because of this



He moves to RAW or Smackdown and he's at the creative mercy of Vince.

Rollins has been at his creative mercy too and dude has gotten push after push for 6 years now.

Hell, even a guy like Owens who has had a lot more "stop and go" pushes, still has gotten important runs. I believe Cole is on that level of "protection" from La Nariz, which is bigger than guys like Nakamura or Balor.

Cole could sign a good 3 year deal, get 1 big push and coast till that deal is over and then jump ship. It would probably work better for him in the long run as AEW will pay more for him if he has main roster run in WWE than if he doesn't.


I mean, if dude wants to leave of course he should leave. But as of right now and seeing how he's treated, I don't think he would want to depart WWE :yeshrug:

Right now there's no reason to leave. The only people who seem to leave WWE for AEW are the ones who have had to deal with Vince's bullshyt for multiple years.

He's not had that yet so why not bet on himself to come to the main roster and be booked strong. Now, how likely that is I'm not sure. I guess he could be like an AJ Styles, someone who Vince just takes a liking to, but it's probably as likely if not more that he'll be part of the long list of NXT stars who get lost in the shuffle on the main roster. People keep mentioning that he's HHH's golden boy, but that shyt doesn't really mean anything when he's called up to the main roster where plenty of other HHH projects have been buried. I almost feel like Vince does it on purpose. Most of the biggest stars to come out of NXT didn't do shyt when they were actually in NXT. So doesn't really matter how strongly booked he is on NXT, it's a roll of the dice that Vince like's him.

But he should re-up with WWE, get a big contract and then see how they use him.

Y'all really love those high spot filled, no selling, finisher spamming, kickout fests. That's what you're getting outta most Adam Cole matches.

Cole was always :russell:status to me in ROH. Adding him to Bullet Club struck me as being :why:at the time.too.

NXT watchers - How much have they changed about Cole since he signed? Genuinely asking.

Because I feel like he was a better pick up than Adam Page two years ago, but Page has improved a ton as a wrestler and a character since he was doing the goofy Joey Ryan storyline at 'All In'



I hope he stays in WWE. I'll admit that I don't 'get' him, but I've seen people on here say he's some sort of generational talent. Maybe Vince can make the most of it. :manny:

His girl basically doing the 'Karen' gimmick in AEW is hilarious though. :pachaha:
Who the fukk called Adam Cole a generational talent?

Adam cole would be an idiot to stay in WWE.
first off, he played himself going to wwe.
for a company to act like they have someone in his exact era.
on his level and platoon him in nxt.
when cole is arguably before injury the generational talent of that exact time after the indy heroes who saved wrasslin, saved wrasslin.
Now mind you i think cole been lazy as fukk.
since cole overall came back from injury.
so maybe he decided to coast and take the check in this biz. Which i understand. plus i discontinued watching any wwe when hogan was allowed back.

Yet moving forward.
cole would need to go to aew.
as it is a conflict of interest, for cole to be in wwe

he is the guy Vince will bury if he gets a chance.
as a matter of fact cole already buried himself when he went to nxt. Knowing damn well every socalled guy on the indys. Plus any guy WWE picked up who was arguably the highest quality upgrade in timeline to past wwe attitude era talent are/were buried. including big is better is king to vkm.
Meaning ADAM cole is pretty much buried going to wwe. Where they can play it.
like cole, is an inferior work by proxy as an hbk doppelganger.

just him being platooned in nxt.

when he is better on the mic and in timeline.
before injury than most in the business comparably.
for him to accept being demoted in perception on nxt is a burial in itself.

also from the dirt sheets.
it is reported cripple ache has lost political sway and power with vkm. Whereas hbk has taken over that voice.
vkm will listen to allegedly and shut down hunter.
it has been known since cole debuted in thr indies and had next. He was an hbk doppelganger. So in that I feel could be how he gets buried as well. As real talk. In timeline cole has the resume to be given the duke over hbk rather easily in every category. So unless hbk is cool enough to let a guy who could supplant his legacy overall rock. I don't see cole being allowed to do this historically. To alter or offer up the conversation of his legacy incomparison to hbk.
which leads to why it was a conflict of interest to go to the WWE in the first place.

Uncertain grounds
Cole is a MOTY wrestler when he faces the right people. Matt Riddle is going to debut on Smackdown this week but Cole is still in NXT. I don’t think he can much more there and he was at the AEW bbq on Monday . I think he should go to AEW where he will be an instant main eventer. Him vs omega has gold in it.

He shouldnt be near the main event of either promotion
