Cole's contract expired in July following NXT: The Great American Bash.

According to the most recent report, Adam Cole has yet to sign a long-term deal with WWE.

Adam Cole is currently involved in a heated feud with Kyle O'Reilly on the Black and Gold Brand which reportedly the primary reason for Cole signing an extension with WWE. Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT noted that Cole intends to finish his feud with O'Reilly and put him over at NXT TakeOver 36.
The word is Cole signed the extension with WWE so he could finish his story with Kyle O'Reilly at TakeOver 36.https://t.co/lGoA31Tf0R
Cole and O'Reilly are currently 1-1 in NXT. WWE is seemingly building their feud to come to a conclusion at NXT TakeOver 36 with a third and final match in this rivalry. It could also quite possibly be Adam Cole's last match in WWE.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
