NXT Champion Adam Cole recently sat down with Guide Live for an interview. In it, Cole discussed what it’s like wrestling in Dallas, what some of his favorite video games are, and what WWE superstars he’d like to wrestle against amongst other things.
Check out some highlights below:
On becoming the NXT Champion:
For anyone who knows me, when I first came into NXT — really for anybody who comes into NXT, your goal is to become the NXT champion. For me, it took me about two years to achieve that goal, and getting to do it as a part of a brand that has just never been better, filled with countless top-to-bottom just world class pro wrestlers, it means even more that I’m the guy at the front of the line or the guy driving the car. I’ve been very busy, as a champion should be, traveling all over the globe defending this championship. But I wouldn’t have it any other way, man. It’s been great.
On his love of video games:
There’s so many good titles. I actually think video games in 2019 have gotten absurd because I feel like there is a new, awesome title coming out once every two weeks. Just trying to keep up with all of it has been tough, but E3 was great this year.
On what WWE superstars he’d love to compete against:
Truth be told, I feel like I’d have an excellent match with a lot of guys on Raw and SmackDown. The NXT roster is stacked. There’s so many guys on Raw and SmackDown that I feel like I would have great chemistry with … There’s guys that I’ve never wrestled before who I’d love to the chance to get in the ring with like a Seth Rollins. Again, same thing as A.J., I feel like we could be put in any environment, and I feel like it would be a really exciting match.
