He was offered a 7 figure, multi year deal.

I would follow Britt Baker to the ends of the Earth. He should leave, and go to AEW.

If recent reports are true where Vince, Johnny Ace, and Bruce declared “NO MORE MIDGETS,” then I’d get out of there if I was Cole. The problem with the WWE is that even their “offers one cant refuse” arnt worth crap anymore if they’ll just book you into the ground, leave you in catering, and cut you at any moment. Cole would be a star anywhere he goes so IMO it would be worth checking his options (and not just necessarily AEW).

I’d personally rather see him in AEW, but if the E is smart they’ll keep him.

They also let go Bobby Fish, Tyler Rust, Leon Ruff, ect…and that’s just from the latest cuts. Believe the rumors of you want or don’t, but knowing Vince’s track record I see NXT soon to be inhabited by a bunch of 6’5”+, 300 pound monsters, just like Vince likes.

I normally don’t say this about wrestlers, but Adam Cole has the potential to be a big star on the main roster. There’s nothing left to do in NXT(though he did say he’d like to wrestle Joe) and AEW’s roster is too packed with the little tv time they have.

"24/7 division" is such a lazy argument. Adam Cole is more an AJ Styles (who many thought wouldn't get any higher than the midcard) than an EC3 or Robert Roode.
I reckon he'd do well on the main roster. NXT call ups with great mic skills tend to, and he's one of the best. Whether or not we ever find out, remains to be seen.

Finn Balor and Kevin Owens are similar “indy” performers that should have been bigger stars on the main roster, and instead they’ve spent most of their time toiling in the midcard. Both were seen as “HHH guys,” especially Owens, but that hasn’t protected them from Vince’s booking. If Cole resigns, I see him getting some sort of a solid push towards the top of the card for a few months, but sadly eventually settling in to a similar spot that Balor, Owens, and heck, even AJ Styles have found themselves in…just another guy on the roster.

If I'm Cole I'd ask them for 7 figures fully guaranteed and only do 6 month contracts at a time. There's no reason to trust them at this point. The only untouchable is Roman.

AJ Styles is one guy wwe actually got right! I have to admit it. His contract I believe does expire in January and he did say in an interview that he doesn’t plan on doing anymore long term contracts.

Cole has all the power in this situation. If they can't meet his requirements, he's got another job waiting literally instantly.

But ever since the Boneyard match with Taker he’s been just another guy on the roster. No need for him to be teaming with Omos but he is and it’s been dreadful.

If I was Cole I would leave WWE, if we just look at past NXT stars who went to the main roster and somewhat succeeded he'll see the odds are not his favor. His became a bigger star in NXT and he should as a big star.

Rumors are Vince in instructing writers to come up with plans for him on Raw or SD

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. Tbf, I've always had a "negative perspective" towards Rhodes - but it's been amplified tenfold now. The difference is, apart from getting there organically - whereas Rhodes created one for himself, McIntyre is actually good and worthy of being in the main-event/headline spot he's now in. He's also got the charisma, the personality and the presence to carry a show, while Rhodes does not. 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. I mean I realise this is just you with another smart-arse, anti-WWE - oops, sorry 'Connecticut' comment... but I'll bite... So what's Cole been doing for the past however many years in NXT then - as both the face and longest reigning champion... Not to mention headlining Takeover, after Takeover?

Meltzer also said WWE is trying to sign Adam Cole to a big money new contract. But who is right, Meltzer or Meltzer? I guess there’s a “plans changed” coming somewhere.
