10 Wrestlers AEW MUST Sign Next

10. Adam Cole

Following the events of 1 January 2019, it seemed inevitable that Adam Cole would one day ink a deal with All Elite Wrestling.

It's headed up by his old running partners in Bullet Club, after all. On a more personal note, his real-life partner Britt Baker is their reigning Women's World Champion, having also been the company's first female talent signing.

He is going to be All Elite at some point.

A Fightful Select report states that the former Undisputed Era leader is a desire for either Raw or SmackDown, with Vince McMahon said to think highly of the guy. Then, on the same day as their meeting, twelve NXT talents were cut, including Cole's former UE partner Bobby Fish. How does Vince McMahon envision Cole remaining a WWE-contracted talent?

Adam Cole is one of those guys who meticulously fits the AEW criteria. He's quite literally the total package of a pro wrestler; the promo, the character, the in-ring ability, it's all there. NXT was always going to suit his style because at the time he came in, it was a hive of indie darlings. He'll flop on the main roster, needless to say. Should he re-sign, it'll be career suicide. Vince no doubt has made promise after promise, begging Cole to stick around.

Leaving is the only option for him.
