Adam Cole had a fantastic career on Triple H’s brand before moving to AEW. Cole was known as a cornerstone of WWE NXT, and, for a long time, it looked like he’d never leave the faction.

The two-time NXT Champion has always had good things to say about Triple H. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, the AEW star said he had some amazing experiences in WWE. He was especially pleased to get the opportunity to work with Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

“I am so thankful for those four years. Again, when I was nine years old, my dream was to work for the WWE, and I got to do that for four years. I had so many amazing experiences, you know, I got to work alongside Shawn Michaels for four years, and develop a wonderful relationship with him, I mean, that was one of the absolute highlights of my time there. Again, Triple H was wonderful, that locker room was wonderful, those fans were wonderful. I learned so much there, and I got so many really cool experiences. So there’s not even a small part of me that was angry or upset in any way with the WWE. I had a really, really wonderful time, and I wouldn’t have changed it for the world,” said Adam Cole.

Triple H was the man who gave Cole several opportunities on NXT. Even though Cole has joined AEW, it looks like he will stay close to Hunter in the years to come.
