The fact that he held onto the title for over 400 days is an achievement in itself.

Not to forget the several wrestlers he continued to dominate within the ring. According to Triple H, Cole is just getting started even if the reign is over.

“There is a saying ‘it’s the talent that makes the title.’ During his 403 day reign over the black and gold brand Adam Cole MADE the NXT championship, THE championship. That reign might be over but he’s just getting started. Adam Cole IS #WWENXT and that…is #Undisputed. #NXTGAB”.

There is no doubt that Cole will continue to put up a brilliant performance inside the ring.

In fact, for a wrestler to hold onto a title for over a year is not an easy task. Whether another wrestler or even the current champion will be able to do it is doubtful.

On the other hand, Keith Lee is now going to be under the spotlight for a while.
