Road Dogg reveals why NXT's Adam Cole isn't WWE Universal Champion yet

Adam Cole needs no introduction. Very few Superstars make such a stark impact on the fans, as Adam Cole has. Adam Cole is the current NXT Champion, and his name came up when Road Dogg was on the After The Bell podcast. Adam Cole has been NXT Champion for over a year now and WWE celebrated his reign recently.

Why Adam Cole isn't WWE Universal Champion

On the podcast, Road Dogg spoke on a myriad of topics. Much of it was his backstage role in NXT and how he manages the Superstars on the show. Road Dogg said the following about Adam Cole,

“Adam Cole is the most professional and most talented. He gets it. He gets every aspect of it. He could cut a promo. He is one of the guys where you tell him I need you to do a minute, and that’s all you say to him. He gives you a minute of hiccupless verbiage that makes you go, ok, that was perfect, thank you, every single time. That’s Adam Cole in a nutshell. He’s also a great worker, he has a great psychology. If he was Karrion Kross’ size, he would be the Universal Champion right now, and if he wasn’t, I would be wondering why. That’s the kind of guy he is. That’s the kind of human he is.” [H/T: Wrestlingnews.co]
