If you watched All Out, you will know that Adam Cole is All Elite. Appearing at the end of the All Out PPV. His contract ending surprised everyone, including Adam Cole and WWE. With it ending six months early due to an error. However, after all this, it seemed like Adam Cole was always going to go to AEW.
In a media scrum afterwards, it has been mentioned by Cole that it was an easy decision. He also went on to mention how much he enjoyed visiting AEW to see his friends and Britt Baker. It has now been revealed by Ringside News what the pitch to Adam Cole was to stay.
What was the pitch worth for Adam Cole?
Ringside News reported that the plan for Adam Cole was to become a heel manager. It has been said that the focus would be on Cole’s talking abilities and not his wrestling abilities. This is the same wrestler that has been compared to a modern-day Shawn Michaels and has had some of the best matches in NXT.
It was also revealed beforehand but not confirmed that Adam Cole was offered 1 million a year to sign with WWE. All this wasn’t enough to resign Adam Cole.
WWE knew Cole wasn’t resigning
It has also been revealed that WWE had already speculated that Adam Cole was leaving to go to AEW. It’s possible that due to many people knowing that Adam Cole wasn’t going to sign. This offer and pitch might have been a throwaway pitch, and not much thought went into it. Adam Cole coming to the main roster and not wrestling seems like a worst-case scenario. Let’s hope he is better booked on AEW.
