The wrestling world speculated Cole would debut for AEW because there were multiple Easter eggs ahead of his arrival. However, Cole’s former arch-nemesis from WWE NXT wished him well in his new venture.
Former NXT UK Champion Keith Lee took to Twitter and acknowledged his time with Adam Cole during their time together in NXT. However, he also ends the note with a “see you around” phrase, which might mean we could see the two superstars fighting once again. Maybe in AEW?
“Safe travels brudda. Do all the things. …But also stop being a meanie head. See you around.”

This idea did not come from the WWE creative team but was the brainchild of either Vince McMahon or a top company executive like Bruce Prichard.

Surely, this managerial position would have not suited Adam Cole, as he would have limited matches. And with his changed name, the WWE Universe would not get to scream, BAY BAY!
