Former Ring of Honor World Champion Adam Cole is officially a free agent as of midnight last night, according to PWInsider. However, he could potentially still make appearances in ROH while not under contract.
As previously reported, it’s apparently well known “in the industry” that WWE is interested in signing Cole to join NXT.
Former Ring of Honor World Champion Adam Cole’s contract with ROH expires on May 1 and it’s “well known” that WWE has been after him for a while to become a big star on NXT, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
There is also a possibility that Cole signs with New Japan or even re-signs with ROH, but given that they had him drop the ROH title a couple of weeks ago and did a storyline where he was kicked out of the Bullet Club, it appears that ROH is not planning on having him around for much longer.
