10 More Wrestling Matches Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth
6. Adam Cole Is Drafted In For SmackDown At The Last Minute - SmackDown, 2019
When it comes to the land of WWE, where there is chaos there also tends to be opportunity.
Never was that more true than during the period which saw a whole host of stars from Raw and SmackDown controversially grounded in Saudi Arabia on the back of 2019's Crown Jewel event.
With the blue show still set to go down the next night, Vince McMahon was forced to resort to desperate measures to ensure fans actually had a show to watch when it was time to go live. The solution: Draft in son-in-law Triple H's gang of crowd-popping NXT studs.
Of the many stars who invaded Friday Night SmackDown, it has to be said that Adam Cole in particular must've been feeling the pressure, throwing down with former WWE Champion and all-round legend Daniel Bryan in the night's main event. Making matters worse, the NXT Champion had only been informed of his need to be at the arena a few hours earlier. But, ever the professional, Cole resorted to lacing his boots up on the flight over and was ultimately told upon arrival that he'd be defending his title in an eventual banger with D-Bry there and then.
