#2 Adam Cole could become the next Shawn Michaels
Many people have compared Adam Cole to Shawn Michaels, even before the former made his way to WWE. His in-ring work and his charisma screams vintage Michaels. Since he joined NXT and began working under the guidance of the former fiur-time WWE Champion, Cole has become even more comparable to The Showstopper.
Even Michaels acknowledged the similarities between the two in an interview in 2020. The Heartbreak Kid compared himself and The Panama City Playboy due to Cole's natural charisma.
As everyone knows, Michaels is considered to be one of the finest in-ring competitors of all time. His matches were always steeped in memorable storytelling. Likewise, Adam Cole has mastered this art in NXT, as his main event matches against Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa were nothing short of masterpieces.
Having a performer like Adam Cole on the main roster would pay rich dividends for the company. Fans have repeatedly criticized WWE's current style and its lack of classic storytelling. But The Panama City Playboy could craft tell compelling stories in the ring with just about any wrestler on the main roster.
