NXT star Adam Cole has been involved in a contract dispute with WWE’s NXT brand as his contract expired in July without the company offering him a new deal. He had agreed to a short extension with NXT through August’s NXT TakeOver: 36 event on August 22. There is still uncertainty about his future in the company.
Adam Cole could leave soon
It turns out he had a “high power meeting” with Vince McMahon prior to SmackDown on Friday, but the company has yet to offer him a long-term contract. It was also reported that Vince McMahon wants Cole on the main roster and writers were directed to come up with storyline ideas for the former NXT Champion.

Ringside News reported that they had asked around about Adam Cole’s situation and a tenured member of the creative team informed that there is “no huge push” to keep him in the company. It was said that fans “shouldn’t get [their] hopes up” regarding this situation, because “there’s just money being thrown his way for a role most people won’t believe.”
Rumor states that a $1 million contract was offered to Cole. Ringside News reported when asked about it, they were told: “I wouldn’t put much stock into that million dollar offer.”
AEW could be an option for the former Undisputed Era member but AEW President Tony Khan had denied offering any deal to Cole, but there are obvious connection between Cole and All Elite Wrestling. He is dating AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker and she had said that she will be happy for Adam Cole’s no matter which company he picks.
At WWE’s NXT TakeOver: 36 event, Cole will take on Kyle O’Reilly once again which could be his last match in the company.
