Former NXT Champion Adam Cole has provided insight into his concluding months within WWE, expressing the significance of his final rivalry within the organization. The present AEW luminary departed from WWE in August 2021, yet prior to his departure, he concluded his feud with Kyle O’Reilly. The two individuals engaged in a two-out-of-three fall match at NXT Takeover 36.
In a recent interview with Inside the Ropes, Cole expounded upon the paramount nature of his feud with O’Reilly during his tenure in WWE. He emphasized that irrespective of the contractual circumstances, he was resolute in not truncating the feud prematurely.
“That was very important to me for multiple levels (finishing the NXT storyline with Kyle O’Reilly before leaving the company). First and foremost, obviously, the love and respect that I have for Kyle O’Reilly is through the roof. I was in the middle of a program with him and I wanted to make sure that we finished that story. I’ve been married to Kyle O’Reilly since 2009 (he laughed), I started in 2008 so, there was no way that I was gonna let that story be cut short or end.” (H/T Post wrestling)
Cole proceeded to express his continued admiration for the individuals who were overseeing NXT during that period. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that he would have been unable to attain a peaceful state of mind had he departed prior to concluding his rivalry with Kyle O’Reilly.
“But secondly and just as important, again, the love and respect I had — or have for everybody at NXT. Whether that be Triple H or Shawn Michaels or Matt Bloom or our entire roster. I loved it there. I had such a wonderful, wonderful experience. I learned so much. I got to explore more of who Adam Cole was, I feel like I grew a ton as a performer. There was no way that I was gonna go, oh, nope, too bad, see you later. I wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night. The love and respect I still have for all of them is absolutely through the roof and to me, it was a no-brainer. To me, it was a no-brainer.” (H/T Post wrestling)
Adam Cole, a prominent figure in the wrestling industry, is set to participate in his inaugural independent match in four years this November. Given his immense popularity and success in recent years, it is quite remarkable to envision him performing outside the confines of an arena or stadium. Nevertheless, this paradigm will undergo a significant shift in the upcoming month.
