4. Adam Cole To WWE

OK, so Adam Cole's ongoing bromance with MJF is seriously entertaining and has helped kickstart his All Elite career properly following a boatload of so-so nonsense. It'd be ridiculous to claim that more goodness isn't waiting the ex-NXT standout once he returns from injury, but...

...Cole might actually have a stab at sustained WWE success under Triple H, and that's worth pondering. Being honest, this fan would enjoy seeing the former Undisputed Era leader show what he's capable of in a WWE free from Vince McMahon yelling 'he's so tiny' whenever the prospect of an Adam push comes up in creative meetings.

Just saying.

Massive muscles will never be Cole's thing, but who gives a toss?! He's a wonderful worker when motivated, has natural charisma on the mic, and he'd be a credit to WWE's roster second time round. His partner might not be around once that broken ankle heals anyway (more on that later).
