They would be silly to let Cole go, I think. The opposition are supposedly bringing in Punk... Well you have a younger, ready-made version of Punk, in Adam Cole. Also, not to make this about Rhodes... But he left WWE because he wasn't good enough to main-event there. As I've said before, he's not his Father, and he's not his Brother - he's got no personality or charisma, or star quality. What he does have, is an over-inflated view of himself and his ability... Which is why - after going small-time on the indies for a bit, he went and found a super-rich, mark, to buy him a wrestling company and the main-event spot he thinks he's worthy of. it doesn’t surprise me that you’d have a negative perspective on Cody finding his footing in the business. Drew McIntyre is another example of this.

Cole obviously being one of those guys.

Drew McIntyre is another example of this. Drew and Cody have followed very similar paths in that regard. They've even wrestled each other during that process!

Cody is super talented and everyone wanted him to win MITB and they gave it ing Sandow. Let’s stop with this imaginary narrative that Cody is anywhere other than exactly where he deserves to be. One senile old man’s sh*tty subjective opinion doesn’t get to decide a performers legacy. Thank whatever imaginary deity you believe in Cody had the balls to do what he’s accomplished.

To be fair, Cody hasn’t really accomplished anything in his career. Definitely did very little on the independent circuit.
His highlight was probably winning the NWA Championship for one month. Oh, and a bloody match versus his brother.

Adam Cole is a very talented wrestler but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about how he would be handled on the main roster. He works really well in NXT, so personally if he does stay I think it makes the most sense to keep him there. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him pop up on AEW to bolster their main event scene.

The guy was OVER multiple times in his career despite Vince booking him as the “third wheel” in Legacy. Dashing Cody. IC Champ Cody. Scholarly Cody with the mustache. Tagging with his brother. Anyone who tries to claim Cody wasn’t over or didn’t deserved to win MITB is just following revisionist history.

I definitely don’t think he should’ve won MITB that year… and Sandow DEFINITELY didn’t deserve it. I was pulling for Antonio Cesaro or Wade Barrett. In hindsight though, if WWE planned on Cena/Orton going forward and whoever cashed in on Big Match John was doing so unsuccessfully… kinda glad it ended up being Sandow.

What can I say about Adam Cole other than he’s a fatass?
That said, I’d like to see him come out of retirement and wrestle.

If I was WWE I would keep him just to retain maybe the single fan they have LEFT haha, if you liked WWE programming the last 5 years, you probably are seeing all your favorites some place else.
If I was Adam Cole, I’d be looking to leave. At the very least he can raise his value elsewhere and return a bigger star.

To be fair, he is that good. Oh yea you don’t have to tell me. I’ve famously been called insane for putting him in the Bret, HBK, Henning, Bryan category of making his opponents and matches that good. If I was running a wrestling company today he would be my world champion and number one guy. He is in my top 5 of all time.

I want Adam Cole in the WWE and I think the WWE would be nuts to get rid of him.
That said, Adam Cole doesn't need the WWE and if he does go elsewhere, I think he'll be fine.
