“You could have, in the middle of the year — in the beginning of the year — decided that Adam Cole was going to be the 2019 Male Competitor of the Year,” the NXT Champion said. “I mean gosh, my month of November alone proved that. The best not just in NXT, but all of WWE.”
Besting Johnny Gargano at NXT TakeOver: XXV in June to win the NXT Title, The leader of The Undisputed ERA has since stymied challenges for the black-and-gold brand’s top prize from the likes of Matt Riddle and Finn Bálor. He also proved he could more than hang with WWE’s best, successfully defending his championship against Daniel Bryan on the Nov. 1 edition of SmackDown.
