It was reported weeks ago that Adam Cole’s WWE contract was set to expire shortly after SummerSlam, and the former NXT Champion recently became a few agent.
It was also reported that WWE wanted to sign Adam Cole to a new deal, and that the company was discussing plans to call Cole up to either Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown.
In the weeks leading up to Cole’s deal expiring he met with Vince McMahon at a SmackDown taping, and during the post-show media scrum for AEW All Out Adam Cole had nothing but good things to say about the meeting.
“The talk (with McMahon) went great. We had a really, really good conversation about a lot of different things. But the actual conversation itself was awesome. I had no bad experience with him whatsoever. He is an intimidating man that definitely commands respect in a lot of ways, but the experience itself was totally fine.
“Working and being around, well I just started tonight, but being around Tony is so cool for so many different reasons. The biggest one is how contagious his love for wrestling is. I know that I love pro-wrestling, but you can’t help but be more excited and more ready to go and more fired up when you’re around Tony. I feel like I can go and talk to Tony about anything, which is so cool. And I’m not just saying this because he’s sitting here, I say this to everybody, but Tony is an amazing, amazing person.”
