WWE Chairman Vince McMahon had some ideas in mind for Adam Cole, who recently joined AEW. The former NXT Champion was on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast this week to talk about his time in WWE. He went on to recall a meeting with Vince. Adam Cole Drops Kevin Owens Bombshell
Adam Cole opens up on the meeting with Vince McMahon
Cole talked about his discussion with Vince about being brought up to the main roster:
“I did have a meeting with Vince that went really well. It was like a 30 minute conversation which was cool. I’ve only talked to him for maybe like 2 or 3 minutes prior to that. I got to work the Survivor Series event, and he wanted to talk to us afterwards. He was really happy with the match, but no real conversation with him before, so that was the first time. He was very complimentary and very nice. The idea was for me to go to RAW or SmackDown and not stay in NXT, just because I had been there for so long, and I think they knew, as much as I do love NXT, if I stayed in WWE, to take that step. That was the gist of the conversation. It was definitely to move me up to RAW or SmackDown.”
Adam Cole made his huge debut in AEW at All Out pay-per-view. He picked up his first victory in the promotion against Frankie Kazarian and he is set to team up with The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) to take on Christian Cage & Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus) on this week’s AEW Rampage Grand Slam.
